Abstract

We examine the labor market effects of Secure Communities (SC), a police-based immigration enforcement policy implemented in 2008–13. Using variation in implementation across local areas and over time, we find that SC decreased the employment of likely undocumented immigrants. These effects are driven not only by deportations but also by adjustments among immigrants who remain in the United States. Importantly, SC also decreased the employment and hourly wages of US-born individuals. We provide support for two mechanisms that could explain this decline in labor demand: an increase in labor costs that decreases job creation and a reduction in local consumption.

移民执法对劳动力市场的影响

我们研究了安全社区(SC)对劳动力市场的影响，这是一项基于警察的移民执法政策，于2008-13年实施。利用不同地区和时间的实施变化，我们发现SC减少了可能无证移民的就业。这些影响不仅受到驱逐出境的影响，也受到留在美国的移民的调整的影响。重要的是，SC还减少了美国出生的个人的就业和小时工资。我们为两种可以解释劳动力需求下降的机制提供了支持:劳动力成本的增加减少了就业机会的创造和当地消费的减少。
