The geography of immigrants in same-sex couples in the United States
The policy landscape for same-sex couples in the United States has changed rapidly in recent years, and the number of immigrants in same-sex couples has markedly increased. Little is known, however, about where these lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) immigrants settle and experience these shifting policy environments. Using American Community Survey data from 2008–2023 and original datasets, this paper studies the geographic context of imm…
How Sexuality Affects Evaluations of Immigrant Deservingness and Cultural Similarity
In the wake of significant increases in lesbian and gay (LG) immigration, do Americans view LG migrants as more deserving of entry to the United States than their straight counterparts? Using a conjoint survey experiment with 1,650 respondents, we investigate how potential immigrants’ sexual-minority status affects Americans’ perceptions of their deservingness for admission and their cultural similarity to the United States. Results show that, ov…
Sexuality, Migration, and LGB Policy
Both internationally and in the United States, the policy landscape for same-sex couples is changing rapidly, and surveys report swiftly increasing numbers of immigrants in same-sex couples in the US. Yet few researchers have examined immigrants in lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) couples on a large scale, especially regarding their relationship to LGB policy. Are these immigrants disadvantaged and fleeing anti-LGB contexts, or are they empowered…
Differentiated legality
All non-citizens face risk of deportation, but a variety of factors unequally stratify this risk. To capture the range of formally unequal statuses produced by migration control systems, we introduce the concept of “differentiated legality.” This paper applies this framework to analyze perceived deportation risk reported by 1,976 immigrants from a range of origin countries in the 2016–2017 Collaborative Multi-racial Post-election Survey. Findings…
Strangers in the Homeland? The Academic Performance of U.S.-Born Children of Return Migrants in Mexico
The number of return migrants from the U.S. to Mexico has swelled in recent years, yet we know little about the academic performance of the over 500,000 U.S.-born children who have accompanied them. This study compares Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) test scores of U.S.-born children of return migrants in Mexico to two groups: Mexican-born students in Mexico and students in the U.S. born to Spanish-speaking immigrant parents…
A ‘win-win exercise’? The effect of westward migration on educational outcomes of Eastern European children
Since the end of the Cold War, millions of migrants from Eastern Europe have sought better opportunities in Western European countries, yet few studies have assessed the impact of such moves on these migrants' children. In the aim of isolating a "treatment effect" of migration on educational outcomes, this study analyzes Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) scores from 2012, 2015, and 2018 for adolescents born in twelve Eastern E…
Policy Effects on Mixed-Citizenship, Same-Sex Unions
After the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in 2013, same-sex partners of U.S. citizens became eligible for spousal visas. Since then, the United States has seen a rapid rise in same-sex, mixed-citizenship couples. However, this effect varies greatly depending on the lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) policy context of the noncitizen's country of origin. Using waves 2008-2019 of the American Community Survey, this st…
When fear spreads
What shapes Latino immigrants’ worries surrounding deportation? Using five waves of the Latino National Survey, we examine this question by considering immigrants’ own legal status, their social background and the legal vulnerability of their national origin group. We find that while individual legal vulnerability heightens deportation worries, social and group markers also have independent and intersecting associations with immigrants’ worries. …
Cognitive achievement of children of immigrants
Although numerous studies have described the educational attainment of ethnic minorities in the UK , few have focused specifically on children born in the UK to two immigrant parents. First, using ordinary least squares ( OLS ) estimation, this article examines the cognitive assessment scores of children of immigrants in the 1970 British Cohort Study ( BCS 70) and the Millennium Cohort Study ( MCS ). It then exploits the richer data of the MCS to…
