De facto immigration enforcement, ICE raid awareness, and worker engagement
研究移民因害怕被逮捕而影响劳动力市场参与,发现ICE驱逐与疑似无证移民的劳动参与率和就业率下降相关,尤其对女性和有子女者影响更大。
Abstract We explore whether fear of apprehension affects immigrants' labor market engagement by examining how Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) removals due to immigration violations and increased awareness of immigration raids impact their labor market outcomes. We find that ICE deportations are associated with reductions in the labor force participation and employment of likely undocumented immigrants when compared to similarly skilled foreign‐born US citizens. Effects are particularly strong among women, especially those with children, as well as in industries likely targeted by ICE raids. Controlling for perceived threats and de jure immigration policies has little impact on these results.
