Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
Does interior
enforcement selectively deter Mexican migration? Our study shows that more
aggressive enforcement increases the likelihood of having immigrants with US work
experience and with jobs secured in the United States before their migration. We
also look at whether having employment may be associated with lower crime
incidence and shorter detention periods among immigrants. We find that
employment decreases the likelihood of observing immigrants committing serious
crimes and on the length of immigrant detention. By attracting quality workers,
enforcement might decrease crime incidence, along with the length and the costs
of detention of removable immigrants in the United States.
