The effect of selective INS monitoring strategies on the industrial employment choice and earnings of recent immigrants.
A study was conducted to examine the consequences of the industry-selective enforcement policy of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Data were drawn from the 1980 and 1990 Public Use Microdata Samples. Findings indicated that there is evidence of selective monitoring by the INS and...

Data were drawn from the 1980 and 1990 Public Use Microdata Samples. Findings indicated that there is evidence of selective monitoring by the INS and that this policy has redistributed illegal workers from closely to weakly monitored industries. It was found that between 1980 and 1990, the likelihood that recent immigrants of both groups joined the manufacturing industry declined and that the probability that such immigrants participated in the agricultural and service industries increased. This trend was more pronounced for recent Mexican immigrants. The findings suggest that the INS's strategy has had a differential impact on industry and immigrant labor markets and that it seems to have shifted the group with the biggest share of illegal workers to weakly monitored industries. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
