K.authorLofstrom, MagnusauthorZimmermann, Klaus F.author2001-04-01As in the U.S. and Canada, migration is a controversial issue in Europe. This paper explores the possibility that immigration policy may affect the labor market assimilation of immigrants and hence natives’ sentiments towards immigrants. It first reviews the assimilation literature in economics and the policy approaches taken in Europe and among the traditional immigration countries. Second, a new analysis of individual data from the OECD countries studies sentiments concerning immigration and the determinants of these sentiments is presented. Natives in countries that receive predominantly refugee migrants are relatively more concerned with immigrations impact on social issues such as crime than on the employment effects. Natives in countries with mostly economic migrants are relatively more concerned about loosing jobs to immigrants. However, the results also suggest that natives may view immigration more favorably if immigrants are selected according to the needs of the labor markets. Possible benefits of such a policy are that it may moderate social tensions in regards to migration and contribute to a better economic performance of the respective countries.publicImmigration Policy, Assimilation of Immigrants, and Natives' Sentiments Towards Immigrants: Evidence from 12 OECD Countriesarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt6ps3x4fh2011-07-03T10:08:19Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/6ps3x4fhHouston, Alanauthor2003-12-01publicPopulation Politics: Benjamin Franklin and the peopling of North Americaarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt70c6g11d2011-07-03T10:08:15Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/70c6g11dCornelius, Wayne A.author2004-12-01This paper evaluates the strategy for controlling “unwanted” immigration that has been implemented by the U.S. government since 1993, and suggests explanations for the failure of that strategy to achieve its stated objectives thus far. Available evidence suggests that a strategy of immigration control that overwhelmingly emphasizes border enforcement and short-changes interior (especially workplace) enforcement has caused illegal entries to be redistributed along the Southwest border; the financial cost of illegal entry has more than quadrupled; undocumented migrants are staying longer in the United States; migrant deaths resulting from clandestine border crossings have risen sharply; and there has been a surge in anti-immigrant vigilante activity. Consequences predicted by advocates of the concentrated border enforcement strategy have not yet materialized: There is no evidence that unauthorized migration is being deterred at the point of origin; that would-be illegal entrants are being discouraged at the border after multiple apprehensions by the Border Patrol and returning home; that their employment prospects in the U.S. have been curtailed; and that the resident population of undocumented immigrants is shrinking. It is argued that a severely constrained employer sanctions enforcement effort that has left demand for unauthorized immigrant labor intact is the fundamental reason why steadily escalating spending on border enforcement during the last ten years has had such a weak deterrent effect on unauthorized immigration to the United States. Reasons for the persistence of a failed immigration control policy are discussed, and alternatives to the current policy are evaluated.publicControlling 'Unwanted' Immigration: Lessons from the United States, 1993-2004articlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt9k25b3mb2011-07-03T10:08:01Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/9k25b3mbLoescher, Gilauthor2003-01-15publicWar in Iraq: an Impending Refugee Crisis?articlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt3jx6p1zt2011-07-03T10:07:57Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/3jx6p1ztForsythe, David Pauthor2003-01-15publicRefugees and the Red Cross: and Underdeveloped Dimension of Protectionarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt4b8232dh2011-07-03T10:07:51Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/4b8232dhValdez, Zulemaauthor2002-11-25Although entrepreneurial success is often attributed to reciprocity in "ethnic resources" or "social capital," this explanation does not directly address ethnic groups with marginal business-ownership, such as among Mexicans, or non-immigrant, "non-ethnic" business-ownership, such as among Whites. Instead of focusing on ethno-cultural differences, this presentation suggests that three forms of economic integration-market-exchange, reciprocity, and redistribution--combine to facilitate entrepreneurship in a market economy. Relationships of exchange occur within a market economy in which a group is situated. Likewise, reciprocity, such as ethnic resources, or redistribution, such as government assistance, must also be situated within the context of the market when analyzing their impact on entrepreneurial success. Such a comprehensive and systematic perspective more fully explains ethnic differences in entrepreneurship. Using the 1990 CENSAS (long-form census data with tract-level information) and the 1992 Characteristics of Business-Owners database, Valdez argues that in a capitalist economy, market exchange facilitates success while reciprocal and redistributive relationships compensate for market disadvantages, but will affect success only marginally.publicImmigrationBeyond Ethnic Entrepreneurship: Ethnicity and the Economy in Enterprisearticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt4zv454f52011-07-03T10:07:45Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/4zv454f5Meyers, Eytanauthor2002-11-06What explains multilateral cooperation leading to the free movement of labor? I examine the ability of two theories of regime formation (structural and game-theoretic approaches) and of two theories of integration (supranationalism and intergovernmentalism) to account for such cooperation. Based on a review of attempts to promote cooperation at the regional and inter-regional levels, and on a more detailed analysis of two case studies (the EU and ECOWAS), I demonstrate that none of the four theories adequately explains how multilateral cooperation with regards to the free movement of labor emerges. I then offer an alternative model, which highlights bargaining between the countries of origin and those of destination. I assert that countries of origin are likely to support the free movement of labor, while countries of destination are likely to oppose it. Multilateral cooperation is achieved when the countries of destination agree to the free movement of labor, and in return, the countries of origin grant the former unrestricted entry into their markets, and/or accept their leadership status. This kind of cross-issue linkage mainly develops in regional integration schemes. I further explain the factors contributing to the durability of cooperation on the free movement of labor, and the paradoxical finding that the multilateral agreements most likely to emerge and survive are the ones that contribute the least to economic efficiency.publicMultilateral Cooperation in International Labor Migrationarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt4dt5t1zk2011-07-03T10:07:40Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/4dt5t1zkLaw, Anna Oauthor2002-10-30This paper examines the effect of overarching institutional norms on judicial behavior in the United States Supreme Court and Federal Circuit Courts of Appeal in immigration cases. Law argues that distinct operational norms govern the different levels of the judiciary, causing the two courts to adopt divergent approaches to immigration cases. While the high court is mainly concerned with resolving grand questions of jurisprudence, the Circuit Courts of Appeals are more parochial in focus and attends to questions of procedural due process. Law attributes the difference in approaches taken by the two courts to their specific and dissimilar institutional contexts and concludes that these enduring structures better explain judicial behavior than such factors as the characteristics of individual judges, which is the focus of standard modes of analysis.publicThe Effect of Institutional Arrangements and Operations on Judicial Behavior in American Immigration Law—1883-1893 and 1990-2000articlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt1122w14b2011-07-03T10:07:24Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/1122w14bTegtmeyer Pak, Katherineauthor2004-12-01This paper offers three linked arguments. First, it argues that Japan alone amongst the industrialized democracies avoided importing guestworkers for decades due to the legacies in its experience of decolonization. The rapidity and abruptness of decolonization in Japan led to an extremely rigid entry control policy, which was closed to economic concerns. Second, the paper argues that the comparative study of immigration politics is ripe for the development of a theoretically grounded typology based on the institutional logics embedded in national migration regimes. Three ideal types are proposed: (1) decolonization (or post-colonial) regimes; (2) demographic regimes; and (3) economic (labor-market) regimes. The third argument is that “convergence” between national migration regimes exists in the layering of logics. That is, over time, most states have moved from regimes that are closer to one of the three ideal types to regimes that layer, or mix, multiple regimes.publicDevelopment of National Migration Regimes: Japan in Comparative Perspectivearticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7s65b9d62011-07-02T15:23:09Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7s65b9d6Lesser, Jeffreyauthor2000-04-01publicNegotiating National Identity: Middle Eastern and Asian Immigrants and the Struggle for Ethnicity in Brazilarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7mx516pr2011-07-02T15:23:03Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7mx516prCornelius, Wayne A.author2001-12-01publicDeath at the Border: The Efficacy and "Unintended" Consequences of U.S. Immigration Control Policy 1993-2000articlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt9600q8zb2011-07-02T15:22:57Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/9600q8zbLevitt, Peggyauthor2002-03-01Many aspects of religious life have long been global. Contemporary migrants extend and deepen these cross-border ties by transnationalizing everyday religious practice. Instead of severing their connections to their homelands, increasing numbers of migrants remain strongly connected to their countries of origin at the same time as they become integrated into the countries that receive them. While some “keep feet in two worlds” by earning their livelihoods or supporting political candidates across borders, other migrants do so by belonging to transnational religious organizations and movements, therefore expanding already global religious institutions and allowing them to belong in two places. Based on a study of transnational migration to six immigrant neighborhoods in the Boston metropolitan area, this presentation will examine how transnational religious membership intersects with other forms of transnational belonging. In what ways does migrant incorporation into host countries or migrants’ impact on their countries of origin change when they remain connected through churches rather than political groups?publicRedefining the Boundaries of Belonging: Thoughts on Transnational Religious and Political Lifearticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt0s04g29f2011-07-02T15:22:52Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/0s04g29fOishi, Nanaauthor2002-03-01This paper is a synopsis of Oishi’s forthcoming book Women in Motion: Globalization, State Policies, and Labor Migration in Asia (Stanford University Press), which analyzes the mechanisms involved in international female migration in Asia. Acknowledging the shortcomings of previous studies that focus too much on migrantreceiving countries and/or a single country case, this work examines female migration from a comparative and integrative perspective. The analysis proceeds at multiple levels of analysis: (1) the state (macro); (2) individuals (micro); and (3) society (meso) in both migrant-sending and receiving countries. How have foreign direct investment and state policies affected women’s labor force participation? How has society legitimized or illegitimized women’s labor migration within and across national borders? How do individual women make their decisions to emigrate? Based on fieldwork in 10 countries, the study demonstrates the complex causation of international female migration in Asia.publicGender and Migration: An Integrative Approacharticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt4j8616qt2011-07-02T15:22:46Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/4j8616qtTsuda, TakeyukiauthorCornelius, Wayne A.author2002-04-01The most commonly used model of labor market incorporation among immigrants in the United States analyzes their earnings largely as a function of human capital variables such as education, language competence, age, length of residence and employment experience in the receiving country. However, such a simple model is not necessarily cross-culturally applicable and may lose much of its explanatory power in other societies, where immigrants encounter different labor market conditions. This paper estimates multivariate models of wage determination among samples of foreign workers interviewed in 1996 in San Diego County, California, and the Japanese industrial city of Hamamatsu. In contrast to San Diego, the standard measures of achieved human capital do not significantly influence immigrant wages in Hamamatsu. Instead, ascribed human capital (e.g., gender, ethnicity) has a much greater impact on immigrant wages in Japan than in the United States. Although the use of social networks by immigrants to find jobs has a significant impact on wages in both countries, the effect is positive in Hamamatsu, whereas it is negative in San Diego. The paper draws on data from ethnographic studies in Japan and California to suggest explanations for these divergent results. More generally, the paper illustrates the importance of reception contexts (host societies) in determining labor market outcomes for immigrant workers.publicLabor Market Incorporation of Immigrants in Japan and the United States: A Comparative Analysisarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt931390502011-07-02T15:22:41Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/93139050Hajnal, Zoltanauthor2004-01-01Since the 1950s, there has been roughly a two-fold rise in the proportion of Americans who identify as political Independents. We argue that the ethnic and immigrant experiences of Latinos shed new light on why and how individuals self-identify with a political party. For Latinos, we argue, party identification is defined by social and political identity formation under uncertainty. We argue that for immigrant-based ethnic groups like Latinos, identification as Independent is a rationally adaptive strategy given uncertainty and ambivalence about one’s social group attachments, one’s core political predispositions, and the benefits of political and civic involvement to pursue the individual and group interests of Latinos in the US. Absent home-grown and wellgrooved habits, the category of Independent affords a safe harbor for many Latinos from which to bank experiences and impressions about political life in the US. We test our account using data from 1989-1990 Latino National Politics Study, the 1993-1994 Multi-City Study of Urban Inequality and the American National Election Studies.publicLatino Independents and Identity Formation Under Uncertaintyarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt98z2f1nz2011-07-02T15:22:34Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/98z2f1nzKim, Nadiaauthor2004-02-01In recent years, students of gender and migration have established that ethnic immigrant families and communities are sites of both oppression and resistance. Less is known, however, about how immigrant women respond to their “double-edged” lives; how, in light of cultural globalization, their responses are forged in a global/local context; and what these responses reveal about larger processes of assimilation and transnationalism. As Korean immigrants hail from a country that has had long-standing ties to the US via US imperialist projects starting in World War II, they are a fitting case study of the ways immigrant women in particular wrestle with global/local dimensions of “race”/ethnonationality and gender, of “tradition” and modernity. Drawing from indepth, open-ended interviews with 32 non-immigrants in Seoul and 47 immigrants in Los Angeles County, Kim finds that globalized culture and US experience foster the women’s identification with white American marriages and husbands as more “gender-equal.” While the women desire these marital norms in part to approximate American “modernity”/“whiteness,” their Korean nationalism and sense of exclusion in the US foster hybridized identities. In contrast, the men counter women’s changes by clinging to more “traditional” Korean nationalistic identities necessarily rooted in patriarchy.publicOur Place in Someone Else's House: Korean Americans and gendered identity in global/local contextarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt1d27r4js2011-07-02T15:22:25Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/1d27r4jsSherry, Adamauthor2004-04-01publicFoundations of U.S. Immigration Control Policy: A study of information transmission to Mexican migrants and the role of information as a deterrent at the borderarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7xz801jz2011-07-02T11:25:08Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7xz801jzMendoza, Cristóbalauthor2000-02-01publicThe Role of the State in Influencing African Labour Outcomes in Spain and Portugalarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt4xq3c9vj2011-07-02T11:24:11Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/4xq3c9vjStobbe, Holkauthor2000-02-01publicUndocumented Migration in the USA and Germanyarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7hv1r1nm2011-07-02T11:24:06Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7hv1r1nmWatts, Julieauthor2000-03-01publicThe Unconventional Immigration Policy Preferences of Labor Unions in Spain, Italy, and Francearticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt8844h2b32011-07-02T11:24:01Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/8844h2b3Givens, Terriauthor2000-03-01publicGender Differences in Support for Radical Right, Anti-Immigrant Political Partiesarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2w70s26h2011-07-02T11:23:31Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2w70s26hLazin, Fred A.author2000-11-01publicPolitics, Race and Absorption: Israeli Housing and Education Policies for Ethiopian Jewish Immigrants, 1984-1992articlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7n72j4sr2011-07-02T11:23:25Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7n72j4srTegmeyer Pak, Katherineauthor2001-01-01publicTowards Local Citizenship: Japanese Cities Respond to International Migrationarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt5ff066m22011-07-02T11:23:20Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/5ff066m2Hanson, GordonauthorRobertson, RaymondauthorSpilimbergo, Antonioauthor2001-02-01In this paper, we examine the impact of enforcement of the U.S.-Mexico border on wages in U.S. and Mexican border regions. The U.S. Border Patrol polices U.S. boundaries, seeking to apprehend any undocumented entrants. It concentrates its efforts on the Mexican border. We examine labor markets in border areas of California, Texas, and Mexico. For each region, we have high-frequency data on wages and person hours the U.S. Border Patrol spends policing the border. For a range of empirical specifications and definitions of regional labor markets, we find little impact of border enforcement on wages in U.S. border cities and a moderate negative impact of border enforcement on wages in Mexican border cities. These findings are consistent with two hypothesis: (1) border enforcement has a minimal impact on illegal immigration, or (2) illegal immigration from Mexico has a minimal impact on wages in U.S. border areas.publicDoes Border Enforcement Protect U.S. Workers From Illegal Immigration?articlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt4jk212tr2011-07-02T11:23:15Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/4jk212trCastañeda, AlejandraauthorSaldívar, Emikoauthor2001-04-01publicCiudadanías Excluidas: Indígenas y Migrantes en Méxicoarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt20p4h3dr2011-07-02T11:23:10Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/20p4h3drDietz, Guntherauthor2001-02-01publicFrontier Hybridization or Culture Clash?: Trans-national Migrant Communities and Sub-national Identity Politics in Andalusia, Spainarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt4wd691zw2011-07-02T11:23:04Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/4wd691zwStephen, Lynnauthor2001-04-01publicGlobalization, the State, and the Creation of Flexible Indigenous Workers: Mixtec Farmworkers in Oregonarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt8r54d1t52011-07-02T11:23:00Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/8r54d1t5Martin, Philipauthor2001-04-01publicFarm Labor in California: Then and Nowarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt63c3343g2011-07-02T11:22:54Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/63c3343gHanson, Gordon H.authorSpilimbergo, Antonioauthor2001-11-01In this paper, we examine the correlation between sectoral shocks and border enforcement in the United States. Enforcement of national borders is the main policy instrument the U.S. government uses to combat illegal immigration. We see whether border enforcement falls following positive shocks to sectors that are intensive in the use of undocumented labor, as would be consistent with political economy models of illegal immigration. The main finding is that border enforcement is negatively correlated with lagged relative price changes in the apparel, fruits and vegetables, and livestock industries and with housing starts in the western United States. This suggests that authorities relax border enforcement when demand for undocumented labor is high.publicPolitical Economy, Sectoral Shocks, and Border Enforcementarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt5782c0nj2011-07-02T11:22:50Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/5782c0njJoppke, ChristianauthorRoshenhek, Zeevauthor2001-12-01After World War II, Israel and Germany adopted curiously similar policies of ethnic- priority immigration, accepting as immigrants only putative co-ethnics. The first objective of this article is to provide analytical descriptions of an understudied type of immigration, which is entirely a political artefact and also offers a window into the constitution and contestation of the boundaries of the national community. The second objective is to account for the main variation between the two cases, the resilience of Jewish immigration in Israel, and the demise of ethnic-German immigration in Germany. The very fact of divergent outcomes casts doubt on a “primordialist” account of ethnic-priority immigration, which sees the latter as emanating—in a direct and unproblematic way--from an “ethnic” (as against “civic”) definition of nationhood. We point instead to the possibility of “liberal” and “restrictive” contention surrounding ethnic-priority immigration, and argue that for historical and geopolitical reasons the political space for such contention has been more constricted in Israel than in Germany.publicEthnic-Priority Immigration in Israel and Germany: Resilience Versus Demisearticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt9jh5k8002011-07-02T11:22:45Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/9jh5k800Hunger, Uweauthor2002-01-01publicThe "Brain Gain" Hypothesis: Third World Elites in Industrialized Countries and Socioeconomic Development in their Home Countryarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt8h32223n2011-07-02T11:22:28Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/8h32223nMartin, PhilipauthorDietrich von Loeffelholz, HansauthorStraubhaar, Thomasauthor2002-12-01publicManaging Migration for Economic Growth: Germany and the United States in Comparative Perspectivearticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt9rz3s2sc2011-07-02T11:22:23Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/9rz3s2scBleakley, Hoytauthor2003-11-01Research on the effect of language skills on earnings is complicated by the endogeneity of language skills. This study exploits the phenomenon that younger children learn languages more easily than older children to construct an instrumental variable for language proficiency. We find a significant positive effect of English proficiency on wages among adults who immigrated to the U.S. as children. Much of this impact appears to be mediated through education. Differences between non-English-speaking origin countries and English-speaking ones that might make immigrants from the latter a poor control group for nonlanguage age-at-arrival effects do not drive these findings.

We focus on the effect of changes in economic conditions, migrant networks, and border enforcement on the educational attainment of Mexicanborn men who cross the border illegally. Results from hazard models using data from the Mexican Migration Project indicate that improvements in U.S. and Mexican economic conditions are associated with a decline in the average educational level of undocumented immigrants. Stricter border enforcement is associated with higher average skill levels.

Drawing upon three general theories: realistic group conflict theory, social identification theory, and institutional theory, I further refine a theory of ethnic competition and xenophobia in the Southern European context. I argue that popular attitudes towards immigration are correlated with a set of individual level factors (e.g. perceptions of personal and collective threat, as well as measures of political socialization), which are shaped and determined by the contextual characteristics (e.g. economic conditions and demographic characteristics) as well as the type of institutional environment (e.g. the presence or absence of support towards civic institutions) in which inter-group relations are embedded. The characterization of these institutional environments determine the type of ingroup-outgroup social relations. I first, empirically characterize the type of “civic communities” existing in 50 Southern European regions and then, empirically test its significance in preventing inter-group hostility and the fostering of tolerance towards minority groups. Results show that there is a strong significant effect between trust in institutions (such as NGOS and voluntary organizations) and decreased levels of anti-immigrant sentiment and intergroup conflict in Southern Europe. This paper provides evidence for the widespread effects that local minority group size and types of institutional trust have on political and social tolerance towards immigrants. Furthermore, evidence is provided that anti-immigrant sentiment has an extensive impact in Southern Europeans’ policy opinions. I explore thus the richness of civil society as a definitive characteristic of places and if/how it relates to people’s hostility towards immigrants and immigration policy.publicThe Impact of Political Engagement on Social and Political Tolerance toward Immigrants in Southern Europearticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt3m25b6p92011-07-02T11:21:51Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/3m25b6p9Eckstein, Susanauthor2004-04-01This article offers a new approach for deepening our understanding of the immigrant experience.

This presentation concerns the social processes and organization of day labor among Latino and Eastern European immigrants and American citizens at an informal worksite in New York City. The overall research project challenges conventional perceptions about day laborers, explores the social construction of identity, and analyzes the impact race and ethnicity in New York City has on the life experiences of the men. More importantly, this paper explores the active role the men play in their own work experience and describes a “visual queue” frequently used by the “employers” and by the workers. The research highlights the shaping, negotiation, and presentation of identity as it relates to the employment experiences of the different groups of men working at this site and uncovers how these larger social processes are manifested in the visible and less visible everyday practices on a New York City street corner.publicMaking the Queue: Latino Day Laborers in New York's Street Corner Labor Marketsarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7h02n14n2011-07-02T11:21:41Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7h02n14nLozano Ascencio, Fernandoauthor2004-04-01publicTendencias recientes de las remesas de los migrantes mexicanos en Estados Unidosarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt3xt2z6v62011-07-02T11:21:36Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/3xt2z6v6Boehm, Deborah A.author2004-04-01publicGender(ed) Migrations: Shifting Gender Subjectivities in a Transnational Mexican Communityarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt3m99p2sg2011-07-02T11:21:31Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/3m99p2sgLinton, Aprilauthor2004-11-01publicLearning in Two Languages: Spanish-English Immersion in U.S. Public Schoolsarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7p04v7kx2011-07-02T11:21:27Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7p04v7kxTsuda, Takeyukiauthor2004-11-01publicMedia Images, Immigrant Reality: Ethnic Prejudice and Tradition in Japanese Media Representations of Japanese-Brazilian Return Migrantsarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt4286c3092011-07-02T11:21:21Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/4286c309Izquierdo, Antonioauthor2004-11-01publicCambios en la Inmigración a Resultas de la Política Restrictiva del Gobierno Españolarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt0j5865nk2011-07-02T11:21:12Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/0j5865nkAlba, Richardauthor2004-11-01publicLanguage Assimilation Today: Bilingualism Persists More Than in the Past, But English Still Dominatesarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt5jt5v2sw2011-07-02T11:21:03Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/5jt5v2swThielemann, Eikoauthor2004-12-01Public policy making on asylum takes place in an environment of intense public scrutiny, strong institutional constraints and international collective action problems. By assessing the relative importance of key pull factors of international migration, this article explains why, even when controlling for their differences in size, some states receive a much larger number of asylum seekers than others. The analysis of 20 OECD countries for the period 1985-1999 further shows that some of the most high profile public policy measures—safe third country provisions, dispersal and voucher schemes—aimed, at least in part, at deterring unwanted migration and at addressing the highly unequal distribution of asylum burdens have often been ineffective. This is because the key determinants of an asylum seeker’s choice of host country are historical, economic and reputational factors that largely lie beyond the reach of asylum policy makers. The paper argues that the effectiveness of unilateral policy measures will be further undermined by multilateral attempts to harmonise restrictive policies and that current efforts such as those by the European Union consolidate, rather than effectively address, existing disparities in the distribution of asylum burdens.publicImmigrationDoes Policy Matter?

This paper contends that as Mexican immigrants have moved in sizable numbers to atypical destinations, they have also mobilized social capital and funds of knowledge from the historical concentrations of Latino settlement (i.e. Los Angeles and Chicago) to new areas, such as the South. Using qualitative and descriptive quantitative data collected in Dalton, Georgia, a small city located in the southern Appalachia region, this article shows how previously accumulated social capital and funds of knowledge are facilitating settlement with collective and individual level consequences. At the community level, this access to social capital is compressing the timing of the migratory cycle, accelerating incorporation. At the individual level, one significant outcome is the rapid rise of ethnic entrepreneurship, which in turn fosters differentiation within the immigrant community.publicMexican Immigrant Communities in the South and Social Capital: The Case of Dalton, Georgiaarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt3kv4r9fg2011-07-02T11:19:52Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/3kv4r9fgKoff, Harlanauthor2002-10-29publicLet's Talk: Dialogue Across Disciplines on Immigration and Integration Issuesarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2m22d7v82011-07-02T07:26:15Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2m22d7v8Winkelmann, Rainerauthor2001-01-01The paper provides an analysis of the recent immigration history of New Zealand and Australia.

This approach – simultaneously self-serving and self-defeating – emphasizes socioeconomic conditions within Third World countries and immigration enforcement by advanced industrialized nations. Conducting fieldwork in both rural Mexico and the United States, I found that the personnel practices and recruitment activities within three of America’s billion dollar crop industries create and perpetuate unauthorized migrant flows. My study of these rural labor markets contradicts several critical supply-side assumptions, especially pertaining to the origins and composition of international migrant networks. Supply-siders view these networks as systems of mutual aid amongst new immigrants. I found that the networks are also used by employers to maintain access to sources of low cost labor. I conclude that the involvement of an increasing number of US corporations in the development of migrant networks from Mexico shifts responsibility for undocumented migration from “them” to us”.public"Them" or "Us"?: Assessing Responsibility for Undocumented Migration from Mexicoarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt9vt1199x2011-03-19T02:17:51Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/9vt1199xRosenblum, Marcauthor2000-05-01publicUS Relations with Mexico and Central America, 1977-1999articlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt9rn6n4cd2011-03-19T02:14:39Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/9rn6n4cdLytle, Kellyauthor2003-10-01publicConstructing the Criminal Alien: A Historical Framework for Analyzing Border Vigilantes at the Turn of the 21st Centuryarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt9nd9393g2011-03-19T02:11:40Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/9nd9393gBleakley, HoytauthorChin, Aimeeauthor2004-10-01Research on the effect of parental human capital on children’s human capital is complicated by the endogeneity of parental human capital. This study exploits the phenomenon that younger children learn languages more easily than older children to construct an instrumental variable for language human capital. Thus, among U.S.-born children with childhood immigrant parents, those whose parents arrived to the U.S. as younger children tend to have more exposure to English at home. We find a significant positive effect of parent’s English-speaking proficiency on children’s English-speaking proficiency while the children are young, but eventually all children attain the highest level of English-speaking proficiency as measured by the Census. We find evidence that children with parents with lower English-speaking proficiency are more likely to drop out of high school, be below their age-appropriate grade, and not attend preschool.

Though systematic analyses are few, a burgeoning literature suggests that cultural norms and enduring values, rather than calculations of self-interest, determine immigration policy preferences. This paper challenges the contention that economic motivations play little or no role in the formation of immigration policy preferences. Drawing on recent work in political economy, I argue that individual preferences over immigration policy reflect economic and non-economic concerns – both broadly rooted in considerations of individual self-interest. While affective orientations toward ethnic groups and prejudice clearly underlie public attitudes toward immigration policy, analysts err in discounting an economic interpretation of immigration policy preferences. In fact, multivariate analysis of 1992 through 2000 National Election Study surveys reveals a robust link between an individual’s position in the labor market and immigration policy. Respondents at the lower end of the nation’s occupational and/or educational distribution are more likely to oppose increased immigration, as the Heckscher-Ohlin model of international trade implies.publicImmigration, Economic Insecurity, and the "Ambivalent" American Publicarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt6f48g8m62011-03-19T00:39:28Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/6f48g8m6Ruhs, Martinauthor2002-06-01This paper comparatively discusses the policies and adverse consequences of six major temporary foreign worker programmes (TFWPs) in five different countries (Germany, Kuwait, Singapore, Switzerland, and the United States). I find that TFWPs have been quite different in design, but rather similar in their adverse consequences. The latter include: (i) the emergence of “immigrant sectors” in the host economy; (ii) the vulnerability of migrant workers toward various forms of exploitation in recruitment and employment; (iii) the tendency of TFWPs to become longer in duration and bigger in size than initially envisaged; (iv) native workers’ opposition against the introduction or expansion of a TFWP; and (v) the emergence of illegal foreign workers who, together with native employers, circumvent the programme. Given that most countries lack viable alternative to TFWPs, I argue that there is an urgent need to develop new types of TFWPs that avoid and learn from the past policy mistakes identified in this paper. The paper concludes with a proposal of seven general policy principles for making TFWPs work.publicTemporary Foreign Worker Programmes: Policies, Adverse Consequences, and the Need to Make Them Workarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt6d09j0n22011-03-19T00:38:17Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/6d09j0n2Andreas, Peterauthor2003-06-22publicA Tale of Two Borders: The U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada Lines After 9/11articlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt6cq204h22011-03-19T00:37:59Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/6cq204h2Lofstrom, Magnusauthor2000-07-01This paper uses data from the 1980 and 1990 U.S. Censuses to analyze the labor market experience of high-skilled immigrants relative to high-skilled natives. Immigrants are found to be more likely to be working in one of the high-skilled occupations than natives, but the gap between the two groups decreased in the 1980’s. Given the high selfemployment rates of this group of workers, about 20 percent, it is important to study this aspect of the labor market experience. High-skilled natives are more likely to be selfemployed than high-skilled immigrants. Models of the self-employment decision, controlling for differences in socio-economic background, occupation, regional differences in immigrant population proportions, national origin and ethnicity, are estimated. Evidence of positive enclave effects on self-employment probabilities is found. Predicted earnings of self-employed immigrants are higher throughout most of their work life relative to wage/salary immigrants and natives, as well as compared to self-employed natives. Furthermore, there appears to be very little difference in predicted earnings across national origin group of self-employed immigrants. The low variation in predicted earnings across country of origin groups is not found for wage/salary immigrants.publicSelf-Employment and Earnings among High-Skilled Immigrants in the United Statesarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt6b10r5qk2011-03-19T00:36:00Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/6b10r5qkDurán Ruiz, Francisco J.author2003-10-01publicThe Relationship between Legal Status, Rights and the Social Integration of the Immigrantsarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt66n4r41f2011-03-19T00:28:53Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/66n4r41fOda-Angel, Francsicoauthor2000-06-01publicA Singular International Area: Borders and Cultures in the Societies of the Strait of Gibraltararticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt64k0513q2011-03-19T00:26:59Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/64k0513qChiquiar, DanielauthorHanson, Gordon H.author2002-09-01In this paper, we use data from the Mexico and U.S. population censuses to examine who migrates from Mexico to the United States and how the skills and economic performance of these individuals compare to those who remain in Mexico. We test Borjas' negative-selection hypothesis that in poor countries the individuals with the strongest incentive to migrate to rich countries are those with relatively low skill levels. We find that 1) Mexican immigrants, while much less educated than U.S. natives, are on average more educated than residents of Mexico, and 2) were Mexican immigrants in the United States to be paid according to current skill prices in Mexico they would tend to occupy the middle and upper portions of Mexico's wage distribution. These results are inconsistent with the negative-selection hypothesis and suggest, instead, that in terms of observable skills there is intermediate or positive selection of immigrants from Mexico. The results also suggest that migration abroad may raise wage inequality in Mexico.publicInternational Migration, Self-Selection, and the Distribution of Wages: Evidence from Mexico and the United Statesarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt5h24b7j62011-03-19T00:09:07Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/5h24b7j6Kyle, DavidauthorLiang, Zaiauthor2001-10-01Human smuggling is a phenomenon that further blurs the already fuzzy boundaries between economic migrant and refugee, legal and illegal immigrant. Many state policy-makers and NGOs are concerned that if they admit immigrants or refugees who use human smugglers, this will encourage smugglers to further break immigration laws. This paper questions the assumption that illegal migrants are like any other illegal commodity crossing state borders. Kyle argues that most migrant smugglers are social bandits who may be considered unsavory and even dangerous by their home societies, but not as "criminals." Even states that are "victims" of human smugglers do not uniformly paint them as criminal and evil. In contrast to common thieves and smugglers, there is a highly politicized historical dimension to both the motivations of social bandits and to those who see them as either criminals (i.e., transnational organized crime) or "freedom fighters." Although migration research has a significant role to play in the understanding of transnational social banditry, current migration theory does not sufficiently explain the sharp rise in human smuggling around the world, especially in terms of how it conceptualizes "demand." To illustrate these points, special attention will be given to emigration from Ecuador to the United States and Spain, including the organization of illicit "migrant export schemes.”publicMigration Merchants: Human Smuggling from Ecuador and Chinaarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt5g04260w2011-03-19T00:08:14Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/5g04260wFitzgerald, Davidauthor2002-08-01The controversial notion of ‘transnationalism’ has generated new insights into international migrants’ ongoing ties with their communities of origin that are unexplained by crude versions of the assimilation paradigm. However, the problematic conceptualization of ‘transnationalism’ and its vague usage in empirical studies needlessly inhibit the transnational perspective’s utility. Understanding the political and economic incorporation of migrants in both their communities of origin and destination is facilitated by disaggregating the types of political borders, types of nationalism, and levels of identification that have been conflated in the framework of ‘transnationalism’. I demonstrate the analytic value of these distinctions by using them to interpret evidence from a six-month ethnographic case study of an immigrant labor union in Southern California. A theoretically coherent typology applicable to both the case study and other migration settings provides a framework for explaining how institutions incorporate migrants into U.S. and local politics while simultaneously promoting cross-border ties. I argue labor migrants engage in cross-border activities as a defensive reaction against the discrimination to which they are subjected qua ‘foreigners’ and because cross-border networks are a strategic resource for attaining status and material benefits both ‘here’ and ‘there’.publicRethinking the 'Local' and 'Transnational': Cross-Border Politics and Hometown Networks in an Immigrant Unionarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt55g6m4k52011-03-19T00:00:28Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/55g6m4k5Rosenblum, Marcauthor2002-06-01Immediately following the 2000-1 inaugurations of Presidents Vicente Fox and George W.

Although the terror attacks of September, 2001 put these negotiations on hold, the progress which had been made—and the extent to which Mexico set the bilateral agenda—highlight the transnational character of U.S. immigration policy-making. But what do sending-states want when it comes to U.S. immigration policy, and when and how can they influence the process?

Cuban of Puerto Rican ancestry, living with a Spanish-dominant person, having children in one’s household, and working in a service- or health-related job all increase the odds of bilingualism. Contextual incentives – growth in a state’s Hispanic population, bilinguals’ status, and Hispanics’ political influence – also positively influence the odds of bilingualism. By showing a positive relationship between upward mobility, political participation, and bilingualism, my findings suggest that it is possible for Hispanics in the U.S. to maintain selected characteristics of their origin culture while becoming American.publicIs Spanish Here to Stay?

I analyze the institutional factors that have mediated the construction of Korean collective identity in Japan and, in turn, the ways that Korean community activists have re-conceptualized possibilities for their exercise of citizenship as foreign residents in Japan. My empirical analysis is based on a theoretical framework that defines citizenship as an interactive process of political incorporation, performance, and participation. I posit that the various dimensions of citizenship—its legal significance, symbolic meaning, claims and responsibilities, and practice—are performed, negotiated, and restructured in a triangular interactive relationship between the state, citizens, and noncitizens.I address a puzzle that is both specific to Koreans in Japan and generalizable to foreign permanent residents in other advanced industrial democracies: Given their high levels of cultural assimilation, why does citizenship remain the last vestige of identity within the Korean community in Japan? Unlike previous studies that have focused on stringent citizenship policies at the level of the state alone, this paper explores the interactive process between institutions and communities. Based on their legal status, we would expect social movements in Japan’s Korean community to center around the quest for citizenship acquisition. Yet, the findings of this paper demonstrate that Korean organizations have concentrated their efforts on securing the community’s foreign citizenship status. I argue that postwar Japan’s ethnocultural citizenship policies both shaped Korean political identity in Japan and structured political opportunities for Korean activists to negotiate the terms of their community’s incorporation. Especially in recent years, new generations of Korean activists have reinterpreted the meaning of Korean citizenship as identity and practice in movements to democratize Japanese society. Rather than naturalize and become a small section of the voting population, Korean activists have increasingly used their noncitizen status as their “voice” to express their opposition to state policies. Based on ethnographic research conducted in Tokyo, Kawasaki, and Osaka over a twelve-month period, this paper explores how citizenship policies affect the political identities, claims, and strategies of noncitizen communities.publicNon citizens, Voice, and Identity: the Politics of Citizenshiparticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt3f77c4n82011-03-18T23:11:14Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/3f77c4n8Valenzuela, Abel, Jr.author2000-05-01publicWorking on the Margins: Immigrant Day Labor Characteristics and Prospects for Employmentarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2x05s9vx2011-03-18T22:55:51Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2x05s9vxLe Texier, Emmanuelleauthor2003-06-30publicMobilizing in the Barrio: Conflicting Identities and the Language of Politicsarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2js6b82r2011-03-18T22:46:02Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2js6b82rTsuda, Takeyukiauthor2000-05-01publicThe Benefits of Being Minority:The Ethnic Status of the Japanese-Brazilians in Brazilarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2fj3r3j42011-03-18T22:42:48Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2fj3r3j4Constant, AmelieauthorZimmerman, Klausauthor2003-10-01While the literature has established that there is substantial and highly selective return migration, the growing importance of repeat migration has been largely ignored. Using Markov chain analysis, this paper provides a modeling framework for repeated moves of migrants between the host and home countries. The Markov transition matrix between the states in two consecutive periods is parameterized and estimated using a logit specification and a large panel data with 14 waves. The analysis for Germany, the largest European immigration country, shows that more than 60% of the migrants are indeed repeat migrants. The out-migration per year is low, about 10%. Migrants are more likely to leave again early after their arrival in Germany, and when they have social and familial bonds in the home country, but less likely when they have a job in Germany and speak the language well. Once out-migrated from Germany, the return probability is about 80% and guided mainly by remittances and family considerations.publicThe Dynamics of Repeat Migration: A Markov Chain Analysisarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2b05k7zx2011-03-18T22:39:11Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2b05k7zxZlolniski, Christiánauthor2000-05-01publicCleaning the Buildings of High Tech Companies in Silicon Valley: The Case of Mexican Janitors in Sonixarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2811q36q2011-03-18T22:37:16Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2811q36qAlarcón, Rafael G.author2000-05-01publicMigrants of the Information Age: Indian and Mexican Engineers and Regional Development in Silicon Valleyarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt25r9q8xd2011-03-18T22:35:15Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/25r9q8xdSmith, James P.author2004-10-01publicImmigrants and Their Schoolingarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt24t4f7062011-03-18T22:34:18Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/24t4f706Cornelius, Wayne A.authorRosenblum, Marc R.author2004-10-01With nearly one in ten residents of advanced industrialized states now an immigrant, international migration has become a fundamental driver of social, economic, and political change. We review alternative models of migratory behavior (which emphasize structural factors largely beyond states’ control) as well as models of immigration policy making that seek to explain the gaps between stated policy and actual outcomes. Some scholars attempt to explain the limited efficacy of control policies by focusing on domestic interest groups, political institutions, and the interaction among them; others approach the issue from an international or “intermestic” perspective. Despite the modest effects of control measures on unauthorized flows of economic migrants and asylum seekers, governments continue to determine the proportion of migrants who enjoy legal status, the specific membership rights associated with different legal (and undocumented) migrant classes, and how policies are implemented. These choices have important implications for how the costs and benefits of migration are distributed among different groups of migrants, native-born workers, employers, consumers, and taxpayers.publicImmigration and Politicsarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2045z1hc2011-03-18T22:29:15Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2045z1hcChung, Angie Y.author2002-06-01publicThe Dawn of a New Generation: The Historical Evolution of Inter-Generational Conflict and Cooperation in Korean American Organizational Politicsarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt19f5w4c02011-03-18T22:09:43Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/19f5w4c0Abraham, Davidauthor2002-05-01This is paper analyzes changes in the nature of citizenship in the United States, Germany, and Israel over the past three decades. Abraham argues that the gap between "citizen" and "resident alien" has been shrinking. Overall, there has been a decline in the content of citizenship and easier access to it. Despite some recent hostility toward aliens in many countries, the tendency over the longer term has been to grant aliens greater rights. In part, this is because courts have come to focus on equal protection rights for individuals. However, the development also points to a reduction in solidarity within these societies because of neo-liberalism and the weakening of citizenship as a political and socio-economic category. The decline of the Keynesian welfare state, the breakup of the Soviet Union, and the rise of international human rights discourses have also played a role. The result in Germany and the United States has been increased recognition of immigrant rights and non-discrimination toward immigrant residents, but at the expense of redistribution. The presentation also examines whether neo-liberal developments in Israeli law and society might have a similar impact.publicCitizenship Solidarity and Rights Individualism: On the Decline of National Citizenship in the U.S., Germany, and Israelarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt11b339z72011-03-18T22:01:53Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/11b339z7Cohen, Jeffrey H.authorRodriguez, Leilaauthor2004-08-01In this paper, we investigate the ways in which migrant households in rural Oaxaca, Mexico use remittances.

The process of naturalization, the voluntary passage from lawful permanent residence to citizenship, sheds light on the structure of the Untied States as polity and as a nation, and reveals its terms of membership. Drawing on ethnographic and documentary research in San Diego, California, this paper argues that immigration and naturalization involve not merely border crossings over physical spaces, but also the traversing of a complex and significant civic border that delineates the citizenry of the United States.publicCharting a Civic Border: Immigration and Naturalization in San Diegoarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt0tm5b6jh2011-03-18T21:56:23Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/0tm5b6jhHill Maher, Kristenauthor2003-05-28publicIdentity Projects at Home and Labor From Abroad: The Market for Foreign Domestic Workers in Southern California and Santiago, Chilearticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt0np2r2b32011-03-18T21:51:35Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/0np2r2b3Brand, Laurie A.author2002-05-01Although immigration obviously requires prior emigration, very little work in migration studies examines states of origin. In addition, most research that is concerned with a labor-exporting country generally examines either social networks or the impact of remittances and worker absence on families or home communities. Brand argues that just as immigration policy should be understood as more than simply the nature of border controls and visas, emigration policy should also be analyzed from a broad perspective. This includes political, economic, and cultural policies and practices of the home state that deliberately target some aspect of its expatriates' lives. To better understand the bases of emigration policy, Brand explores the establishment and development of several state institutions in Morocco (a separate ministry for Moroccans abroad and the Foundation Hassan II) and Tunisia (I'Office des Tunisiens a I'Etranger). She examines various traditional explanations for the formation of immigration policy in receiving states (the economy, security, changing global norms) in order to determine their relevance to the emigration policies of migrant-sending countries.publicStates and Their Expatriates: Explaining the Development of Tunisian and Moroccan Emigration-Related Institutionsarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt0bq0797r2011-03-18T21:43:03Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/0bq0797rAgrela, Belénauthor2002-08-01This paper explores how immigrants have caused a restructuring of identities in the “new” Spain, through a juxtaposition with those who have traditionally been defined as “cultural others.” To show how processes of categorization are used as a rhetoric of exclusion, Agrela analyzes the way in which public policies are constructing immigration as a symbolic, political, and cultural problem that has recently become one of the most salient issues on Spain's political agenda at the local, regional, and national levels. The paper examines how formal and informal categories of immigrants are established by public policies and how immigrants have come to be defined as a “public problem.”publicSpain as a Recent Country of Immigration: How Immigration Became a Symbolic, Political, and Cultural Problem in the "New Spain"articlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt0522f7wb2011-03-18T21:37:27Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/0522f7wbAneesh, A.author2000-08-01publicRethinking Migration: High-Skilled Labor Flows from India to the United Statesarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt03r249gt2011-03-18T21:36:03Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/03r249gtFox, Jon E.author2004-05-01publicFrom National Inclusion to European Exclusion: State, Nation and Europe in Ethnic Hungarian Migration to Hungaryarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt02m1s7gm2011-03-18T21:35:04Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/02m1s7gmRelaño Pastor, Mayauthor2001-05-01publicMexican Immigrant Women's Narratives of Language Experience: Defendiéndose in Southern Californiaarticlelocaloai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt0159v7822011-03-18T21:33:43Z am 3u eScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/0159v782Beal, E. Anneauthor2001-10-01Amid the frenzied consumption of villas, clothing, technology, and services characteristic of up-scale living in Amman, the most conspicuous of the conspicuous consumers are popularly identified as wealthy Palestinians who entered Jordan in the aftermath of Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990. This presentation will focus on these “returnees” to Jordan – some of whom had never lived in Jordan prior to the invasion – and more specifically, the relationships among their consumption practices, conflicting notions of taste among Amman’s elites, and the emergence of a “Gulfie” Palestinian identity. Despite the global aspects of elite Palestinian returnee consumption, a convincing interpretation of its sociocultural importance must make reference to factors embedded in social, political, and economic contexts unique to the Jordanian experience.publicGlobal Products, Embedded Contexts: The Interpretation of Consumption Practices Among Palestinian Migrants in Ammanarticlelocal
