Beginning in the 1990s and intensifying after the events of September 11, deportations in the United States increased to record levels under President Obama and continued at high levels under President Trump. Although a growing literature addresses how migrants respond to the shifting context of reception, empirical evidence on how migrants’ remitt...
Drawing on the concept of a “complex humanitarian crisis,” this paper describes how outflows of migrants from Central America were transformed into such a crisis by intransigent immigration and border policies enacted in both Mexico and the United States. We describe the origins of the migration in U.S. Cold War interventions that created many thou...
Between 2000 and 2020, undocumented migration declined, temporary labor migration rose, and legal permanent residents arrived at a steady pace-together creating a new system of Mexico-U.S. migration based on the circulation of legal temporary workers and permanent residents. Drawing on data from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Mexi...
Systemic racism is a scientifically tractable phenomenon, urgent for cognitive scientists to address. This tutorial reviews the built-in systems that undermine life opportunities and outcomes by racial category, with a focus on challenges to Black Americans. From American colonial history, explicit practices and policies reinforced disadvantage acr...
Immigration is increasing around the world. Academic work suggests that increasing immigration reduces social cohesion and subjective wellbeing. These studies, however, have mainly focused on the white majority. Using the 2002-2014 European Social Survey, we analyze data from 5,149 ethnic minority respondents living in 24 European countries. We exa...
Abstract The world appears to be moving into a new era of international migration during which gaps between policies needed to manage migratory flows and those enacted in practice will widen. Whereas immigrants in the late 20th century were motivated by a desire to improve their wellbeing by accessing opportunities in richer countries, in the early...
Misguided U.S. policies since 1980 have created a large undocumented population within the United States. Border militarization curtailed circular undocumented migration from Mexico, and Cold War politics precluded the acceptance of refugees from Central America fleeing violence and economic turmoil unleashed by America’s intervention in the region...
Linking municipal-level homicide rates from 1990 through 2018 with data from the Mexican Migration Project, we estimate a series of multinomial discrete-time event history models to assess the effect that exposure to lethal violence has on the likelihood of migration within Mexico and to the U.S. without documents. Statistical estimates indicate th...

... (2) Colorblindness: Construction in the U.S. is viewed by some people as a race-neutral domain, adhering to ideologies of self-reliance and a strong work ethic that determines success in the field [11]. However, this colorblind perception affects (1) educational institutions and workplace culture and (2) hiring practices and career advancement opportunities for minorities transitioning into the U.S. construction domain. ...
... Al tomar en cuenta que los trayectos de las personas migrantes en América Latina y el Caribe se desarrollan en entornos en los que la violencia, en sus distintos tipos y modalidades, es recurrente y genera afectaciones que significativamente propician virajes importantes, distintos estudios han dado cuenta precisamente de la relación que existe entre los movimientos migratorios y la violencia (Massey et al., 2020) donde la delincuencia, la represión del estado, pandillas y otro tipo de conflictos son los principales generadores de prácticas violentas. ...
... Therefore, the potential mismatch between migration policies and migrants' settlement outcomes remains a concern and the situation can worsen if the host nation fails to recognise and effectively address settlement needs (Massey, 2020;Sassen, 2000). A settlement service literacy tool that accounts for political factors and migrants' knowledge and competence, empowerment and community influence would provide more robust results allow for more effective decision-making to inform settlement service planning and delivery. ...
... Repressive ideologies, in turn, provoked heightened sensibilities to privilege and oppression interlocking with layers of identities-race, ethnicity, gender, class, (dis)ability, sexuality, nationality, and region (Collins, 1986;Mosley et al., 2020;Oluo, 2019). Some identities were particularly salient and consequential as evident in the US by the deaths of Black, Brown, Hispanic, Indigenous, and impoverished people in the custody of increasingly militarized police 11 and immigration authorities (Massey, 2020). ...
