Beyond National Borders: Family Frontiers and Expulsion from the US
1 Revision of a paper presented at the Western Social Science Association, Denver, CO, April 23, 2008. The US has contradictory policies of NAFTA while curbing the flow of Mexicans. Former Mexican “commuters” no longer commute because of not being able to return to Mexico while the possibility of a summary deportation is great. A large number of immigrants in California live in “mixed” legal and illegal families. Deportation, in effect, may have …

Demographic, social, and economic effects on Mexican causes of death in 1990
Demographic, social, and economic influences on cause of death are analyzed for Mexico in 1990. The paper draws on epidemiologic transition theory and empirical studies as a framework to examine effects of 28 independent variables in four groups—demographic, socio‐cultural, economic, and housing/health/crime—on standardized mortality by cause. Data at the state level are mostly from the Mexican census of 1990. Effects are analyzed through spatial…

Projection of the Mexican National Labor Force, 1980-2005
Mexico has a large and rapidly growing labor force. This paper projects the Mexican national labor force from 1980 to 2005, with varying assumptions of vital rates, economic activity, and international migration. Projections are also made for the urban and rural components of the Mexican population, assuming inter-component migration flows. Results indicate that the Mexican labor force will grow over the projection period at an average annual rat…

Where did Black Jurors Go? A Theoretical Synthesis of Racial Disenfranchisement in the Jury System and Jury Selection
Twentieth century migration to Baja California
This study examines state migration patterns to Baja California for most of the twentieth century. Methods of analysis include computerized mapping and regression. Findings indicate that, in spite of very rapid population growth in Baja California, the geographic distribution for origin states of migration to Baja remained consistent over eighty years of censuses from 1900 to 1980. Furthermore, there is strong consistency in the determinants of m…

Fertility determinants in the oil region of Mexico
This study analyzes fertility determinants in the oil region of Mexico, consisting of the states of Veracruz, Tabasco, and Campeche. Data are from the 1980 Mexican census and the unit of analysis is the municipio. The regression models, in which the dependent variables of children ever born and child-woman ratio are examined, reveal religious variables to be most significant, with greater fertility for non-Catholics and persons with no religion t…
Acid pits and birth defects: A case study of the Stringfellow acid pits dump site and congenital anomalies
This paper examines the relationship between a toxic waste site and congenital anomalies. The Stringfellow acid pits dump site (SAP) located near the City of Riverside, California, is the focus of this study. Congenital anomalies are examined in relation to various demographic and socioeconomic variables. Our analyses suggest that hydrological and geological proximity to the dump site has a significant relationship to birth defects. An analysis o…
Socioeconomic determinants of fertility: Selected Mexican regions, 1976-1977
Cumulative fertility is analyzed for four regions of Mexico, based on World Fertility Survey data of 1976–77: the State of Baja California, the Northwest region, the State of Jalisco, and the Northeast region. Based on stepwise regression methodology, the study compares results for twelve subsamples of married respondents, three age categories by four regions. The dependent variables are children ever born and children ever bom in the last five y…
Geographical distribution and variation in selected socioeconomic variables for municipios in six Mexican Border States, 1980
The present study analyzes data on selected socioeconomic characteristics for the six states of Mexico on the U.S.-Mexico border utilizing data on the region's 272 municipios. A common definition of the Mexican borderlands, the one adopted in the present research, includes the six states of Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas (Beegle et al. 1960; Stoddard et al. 1983; and Reich 1984). On occasion, researchers …

Labeling, Mild Mental Retardation, and Long-Range Social Adjustment
Previous studies of long-range detrimental labeling effects related to mild mental retardation have failed to control for conditions that impact both the labeling process and social adjustment. In contrast, this research explicity tests the labeling perspective by comparing labeled with not labeled former students 'eligible' for the mentally retarded label. The not labeled were comparable to the labeled in terms of IQ scores, as well as gender, e…
Projection of farm labor displacement from geothermal development, Imperial County, California, U.S.A
A methodology is introduced to project the number of farm laborers displaced by reduction in agricultural land by geothermal energy development. For each geothermal area, the projection is based on estimates of land used for energy facilities and of land environmentally disrupted, on estimates of manpower per acre by crop type, and on estimates of alternative employment of farm laborers. Each area's projected farm labor force displacement per 100…

Impaired Competence in an Urban Community: An Ecological Analysis
During the past half-century, many studies have been conducted to determine both the prevalence and incidence of mental disorders. This ecological research has demonstrated that some factors external to the individual are related to mental disorders. However, ecological studies of other types of impairments are virtually nonexistent. This research is an ecological analysis of intellectual, behavioral, and physical impairments in an urban complex.…
Some Sources of Interviewer Variance in Surveys
Interviewer variance is examined for 33 interviewers and 3,000 interviews, with age, sex, socioeconomic status, social mobility, and interviewer ratings as key variables. It differs among interview schedule items and is influenced by combinations of sex and age of interviewers and respondents. Selecting interviewers and assigning households-respondents to them is a complex process, and matching interviewers with respondents on "face sheet" charac…

Residential Mobility of Blacks and Whites: A National Longitudinal Survey
A limited literature suggests that blacks move more often than whites but that their mobility is more local. In testing this double hypothesis with interviews from a national panel of 1,500 households, we find that greater black mobility is largely explained by blacks' tendency to be renters. Black renters are less likely to move, and black owners are about as stable residentially. Furthermore, blacks are more likely to move only within their nig…
Anomia and Enomia: A Methodological Evaluation of Srole's Anomia Scale
Durkheim popularized the term anomie and stimulated a great deal of theoretical discussion and research. Subsequently, Srole constructed interview schedule items to measure personal anomia, and his items have been used by a large number of investigators. Many of these researchers implicitly assumed unidimensionality while others explicitly tested for it by Guttman scaling and factor analysis techniques. However, none of these researchers repeated…
The Consequences of Intelligence Testing in the Public Schools before and after Desegregation

Typologies of Delinquent Girls: Some Alternative Approaches
The staff of the Las Palmas School for Girls expressed a desire for a system other than psychiatric diagnosis for assigning girls to differential treatment modalities. The Interpersonal Maturity Level system was incorporated into the classification procedures of the institution and was found to be pragmatically useful. The major advantage of the system is that it suggests staff styles, treatment modalities, and etiological aspects of types of del…

Some Determinants of Intrametropolitan Residential Mobility: Conceptual Considerations
A conceptual framework is described to guide research on voluntary intrametropolitan residential mobility. Mobility determinants are discussed in terms of the following push-pull dimensions, which have both structural and social-psychological components: (1) the family life-cycle and familism; (2) social mobility and social mobility aspirations; (3) the residential environment, including changing characteristics of residence and neighborhood and …

Prediction of Residential Movement and Spatial Allocation
The spatial pattern of residential urban growth is the result of the residential development process, which is a result of a complex of decisions and actions made by a multiplicity of individuals and groups. In this paper, we focus on decisions and decision factors involved in residential movement 1 and resi-dential choice, and how these dimensions are related to models of the residential development process. The discussion is based primarily on …
