The 2016 United States Election and Financial Support to Migrant-Serving Legal-Aid Organizations
The 2016 US election of Donald Trump ushered in a wave of anti-immigrant rhetoric and federal policies that have been shown to harm immigrant families. This study examines how the election affected immigrant-serving community-based organizations (CBOs), which provide vital support to these communities and may mitigate harm. Focusing on migrant-legal CBOs — a key subset that offers pro-bono or low-cost legal services — and incorporating theories f…
It’s About Time
Is parent’s direct care for children more common in state contexts with inclusive policies toward immigrants? If so, among whom do we find such a relationship? We analyze American Time Use Survey (ATUS) data between 2010 and 2019 to investigate whether daily routines involving parent’s direct care for children (e.g., playtime, sports, reading, etc.) vary with different immigration policy contexts. Among parents responding to the ATUS, we find tha…
Racial Baggage
Uneven Migration Enforcement
In the US, the weight of immigration enforcement falls disproportionately on immigrants from Haiti and Central America. How can we tell? I use deportations and immigrant population data to compare which origin countries account for an unexpectedly high number of deportations – after taking into account their share of the nation’s unauthorized immigrant population. These data sources help us see whether deportations by nationality are uneven. In r…
Housing Instability in an Era of Mass Deportations
Making noncitizens' rights real
Noncitizens seeking to make sense of US immigration systems encounter a labyrinth of information and deception. This paper is the first national study of scams targeting noncitizens seeking immigration legal services. I construct a county‐year database (N = 3135 over a four‐year time period, 2011–2014) across secondary data sources to analyze the correlates of immigration scam complaints submitted to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). I find tha…
The Shadow of El Centro
The Shadow of El Centro excavates a forgotten account of immigrant detention in southern California. By leveraging source material from Mexico City and Washington, D.C., Jessica Ordaz supplements what would have been a less complete picture contained in records across the U.S. Southwest. The book argues that El Centro Immigration Detention Camp—which opened in 1945 in Imperial Valley and lasted, in one form or another, until 2014—represents a las…
Policies of Exclusion
Public policies play a crucial role in shaping how immigrants adapt to life in the United States. Federal, state, and local laws and administrative practices impact immigrants’ access to education, health insurance and medical care, cash assistance, food assistance, and other vital services. Additionally, immigration enforcement activities have substantial effects on immigrants’ health and participation in public programs, as well as effects on i…
Deportation Discretion
As deportations from the United States rose to unprecedented levels, a nationwide immigration enforcement program Secure Communities helped identify deportable noncitizens under arrest in county jails. Examining county‐level variation in deportation activity between 2008 and 2013, this paper contributes to immigration policy research by examining how county officials in some locations facilitated exceptionally restrictive deportation outcomes whi…
The New Third Generation
Now is the time for social scientists to focus an analytical lens on the new third generation to see what their experiences reveal about post‐1965 assimilation. This paper is a first step. We compare the household characteristics of post‐1965, second‐generation Latino and Asian children in 1980 to a “new third generation” in 2010. Today's new third generation is growing up in households headed by parents who have higher socioeconomic attainment; …
The New Third Generation
Facing our future: Children in the aftermath of immigration enforcement
Based on interviews, examines the effects of the arrest, detention, and/or deportation of undocumented parents on their children, including changes in behavior, food sufficiency, and housing. Explores community responses. Makes policy recommendations.
