Migration Status Gradients in Immigrant Poverty: A Comparison of Imputation Methods
Research on the stratifying effects of migration status has increased sharply in the last two decades, although efforts have been hampered by the near absence of representative data that include detailed migration status measures. Researchers have developed various statistical and logical imputation methods that have produced widely varying estimates. In this article, we introduce a new indicator of migration status constructed from two federal s…
Texas-Style Exclusion: Mexican Americans and the Legacy of Limited Opportunity
Texas-Style Exclusion shows that Mexican immigrants, the nation’s largest contemporary immigrant group, encountered an inhospitable environment when they started settling in Texas in the early twentieth century. It was far more repressive and offered far fewer opportunities than those provided to the millions of children of immigrants living in the Northeast and Midwest. Moreover, the initial disadvantages for Mexican immigrants living in Texas i…
Sick Days: Logical Versus Survey Identification of the Foreign-Born Population in the United States
The self-reported number of workdays missed due to injury or illness, or sick days, is a reliable measure of health among working-aged adults. Although sick days is a relatively underexplored health-related outcome in migration studies, it can provide a multidimensional understanding of immigrant wellbeing and integration. Current understandings of the association between migration status and sick days are limited for two reasons. First, in the U…
Medicaid Health Insurance Coverage Among the Foreign-Born Following ACA Implementation: Disparities by Migration Status
Legal status and health disparities: An examination of health insurance coverage among the foreign-born
This paper employs a statistical matching procedure to impute the legal status of foreign-born adults in US Census surveys in order to estimate migration status disparities in health insurance coverage
The Weight of Being Unauthorized? Legal Status Variation in the Association between US Exposure and Obesity among Hispanic Immigrants in Los Angeles
Leapfrogging the Melting Pot? European Immigrants' Intergenerational Mobility across the Twentieth Century
During the early twentieth century, industrial-era European immigrants entered the United States with lower levels of education than the U.S. average. However, empirical research has yielded unclear and inconsistent evidence about the extent and pace of their integration, leaving openings for arguments that contest the narrative that these groups experienced rapid integration and instead assert that educational deficits among lower-status groups …

Health Insurance Coverage: Logical Versus Survey Identification of the Foreign-Born
The Association Between Legal Status and Poverty Among Immigrants: A Methodological Caution
Using nationally representative survey data, this research note examines the association between immigrant legal status and poverty in the United States. Our objective is to test whether estimates of this association vary depending on the method used to infer legal status in survey data, focusing on two approaches in particular: (1) inferring legal status using a logical imputation method that ignores the existence of legal-status survey question…
Whiteness' in Context: Racial Identification among Mexican-Origin Adults in California and Texas
Using data from the 2008-2016 American Community Survey, we compare the racial identification responses of the Mexican-origin population residing in California to their counterparts in Texas, the two states with the largest and most established Mexican-origin populations. We draw on existing theory and research in order to derive a theoretical account of state-level historical mechanisms that are likely to lead to varying patterns of racial ident…
Estimating the Characteristics of Unauthorized Immigrants Using U.S. Census Data: Combined Sample Multiple Imputation
Contemporary U.S. immigration policy debates would be better informed by more accurate data about how many unauthorized immigrants reside in the country, where they reside, and the conditions in which they live. Researchers use demographic methods to generate aggregated information about the number and demographic composition of the unauthorized immigrant population. But understanding their social and economic characteristics (e.g., educational a…
Mexican Migration to the United States: Perspectives From Both Sides of the Border
Why is Mexican emigration different from the previous ones? This is the question posed by Professor Huntington in his polemic article. According to the author the real question is not this, but the way the developed world (including our closest environment, the European Union) should react to its own modified demographic conditions, taking into consideration the present global conditions. Special attention has been dedicated to the analysis of th…
Parents Without Papers: The Progress and Pitfalls of Mexican American Integration
"For several decades, Mexican immigrants in the United States have outnumbered those from any other country. Though the economy increasingly needs their labor, many remain unauthorized. In Parents Without Papers, immigration scholars Frank D. Bean, Susan K. Brown, and James D. Bachmeier document the extent to which the outsider status of these newcomers inflicts multiple hardships on their children and grandchildren. An innovative analysis of the…
Can We Spin Straw Into Gold? An Evaluation of Immigrant Legal Status Imputation Approaches
Researchers have developed logical, demographic, and statistical strategies for imputing immigrants’ legal status, but these methods have never been empirically assessed. We used Monte Carlo simulations to test whether, and under what conditions, legal status imputation approaches yield unbiased estimates of the association of unauthorized status with health insurance coverage. We tested five methods under a range of missing data scenarios. Logic…
Can We Measure Immigrants’ Legal Status? Lessons from Two U.S. Surveys
This research note examines response and allocation rates for legal status questions asked in publicly available U.S. surveys to address worries that the legal status of immigrants cannot be reliably measured. Contrary to such notions, we find that immigrants’ non-response rates to questions about legal status are typically not higher than non-response rates to other immigration-related questions, such as country of birth and year of immigration.…
Recent Trends in Coverage of the Mexican-Born Population of the United States: Results From Applying Multiple Methods Across Time
The accuracy of counts of U.S. racial/ethnic and immigrant groups depends on the coverage of the foreign-born in official data. Because Mexicans constitute by far the largest single national-origin group among the foreign-born in the United States, we compile new evidence about the coverage of the Mexican-born population in the 2000 census and 2001–2010 American Community Survey (ACS) using three techniques: a death registration, a birth registra…
Cumulative Causation, Coethnic Settlement Maturity and Mexican Immigration to U.S. Metropolitan Areas, 1995-2000
This article applies the tenets of Massey's (1999) cumulative causation theory of migration to explain variation in aggregate patterns of Mexican migration to U.S. metropolitan destinations during the late 1990s. Analogous to sending contexts, results suggest that the dynamics of migration vary substantially with the maturity of the Mexican settlement community within destinations (approximated here using characteristics of the resident Mexican-o…
When the Border is “Everywhere”: State-level Variation in Migration Control and Changing Settlement Patterns of the Unauthorized Immigrant Population in the United States
Governments increasingly exclude unauthorized migrants from labor markets and public provisions and apprehend those who have settled in the territory. In the U.S., recent increases in interior control coincided with a reduction in (the growth of) the estimated unauthorized population. This study describes the mechanisms through which interior control may impact migration patterns and analyzes whether interior control has been responsible for the …
Immigration & the Color Line at the Beginning of the 21st Century
The “color line” has long served as a metaphor for the starkness of black/white relations in the United States. Yet post-1965 increases in U.S. immigration have brought millions whose ethnoracial status seems neither black nor white, boosting ethnoracial diversity and potentially changing the color line. After reviewing past and current conceptualizations of America's racial divide(s), we ask what recent trends in intermarriage and multiracial id…
Citizenship Reporting in the American Community Survey
BACKGROUND: Citizenship status among the foreign born is a crucial indicator of social and political incorporation, yet there are good reasons to suspect that citizenship status is inaccurately reported on U.S. surveys. OBJECTIVE: This paper updates research carried out in the mid-1990s by Passel and Clark (1997) on the extent to which foreign-born non-citizen respondents in U.S. government-sponsored surveys misreport as naturalized citizens. MET…
Immigrants Raising Citizens: Undocumented Parents and Their Young Children By Hirokazu Yoshikawa Russell Sage Foundation. 2011. 208 pages. $24.95 paper
The repeated failure of immigration-related legislation in the U.S. Congress, and the simultaneous proliferation of mostly exclusionary immigration policies at state and local levels have led social scientists increasingly to speculate about the implications of parental legal status for the well-being and life chances of the children of immigrants. Very little research, however, has been brought to bear on this question, and, thus, Hirokazu Yoshi…
The dimensions and degree of second-generation incorporation in US and European cities: A comparative study of inclusion and exclusion
This research compares cities between and within the United States and Europe with respect to their dimensionality and degree of immigrant incorporation. Based on theoretical perspectives about immigrant incorporation, structural differentiation and national incorporation regimes, we hypothesize that more inclusionary (MI) cities will show more dimensions of incorporation and more favorable incorporation outcomes than less inclusionary (LI) place…
The Link Between the Transnational Behaviour and Integration of the Second Generation in European and American Cities: Does the context of reception matter
This article investigates the transnational behaviour of the children of immigrants – the second generation – in 11 European and two U.S. cities. We find evidence that transnational practices such as visits to the home country, remittances and use of ethnic media persist only among a minority of the second generation. At a personal level, these second-generation transmigrants are less socio-culturally integrated but more economically integrated i…
Luxury, Necessity, and Anachronistic Workers: Does the United States Need Unskilled Immigrant Labor
This article assesses the labor market implications of less-skilled migration to the United States. It emphasizes how recent social, demographic, and economic trends have reduced the availability of less-skilled native workers, while new low-education immigrant workers compete with other less-skilled immigrants for available low-skilled jobs. Declines in native fertility to substantially below replacement levels, together with native educational …
The Educational Legacy of Unauthorized Migration: Comparisons across U.S.-Immigrant Groups in how Parents’ Status Affects Their Offspring
This research compares several national-origin groups in terms of how parents’ entry, legalization and naturalization (i.e., membership) statuses relate to their children's educational attainment. In the case of Asian groups, the members of which predominantly come to the United States as permanent legal migrants, we hypothesize (1) that father's and mother's statuses will be relatively homogenous and few in number and (2) that these will exert m…

Borders Behind the Border: An Exploration of State-Level Differences in Migration Control and their Effects on US Migration Patterns
Governments at various levels of administration increasingly try to exclude unauthorised migrants from labour markets and public provisions, and apprehend and deport unauthorised migrants who have settled in the territory. This article demonstrates that such policies and practices of ‘internal border control’ can be approximated empirically; it is shown that, since 2005 in particular, internal border control has become more prevalent in the Unite…
