This Dispatch from the Field provides new statistics on nearly a half million unaccompanied minors navigating removal proceedings in US immigration courts nationwide between 2009 and 2023 (through March), including population demographics, geographic location of cases, representation rates, and case outcomes. We extrapolated these statistics, even the most basic of which have not been available to the public since 2017, by using a novel approach that we developed to identify unaccompanied minors in administrative data from the Executive Office for Immigration Review. During the study period, only 51% of unaccompanied children were represented by an immigration attorney at any time during their removal proceedings. There are significant geographic and demographic disparities in representation rates. Representation for unaccompanied minors declined almost every year during the first Trump presidency. Over half (56%) of children's cases on which a decision was reached during the study period ended in a deportation order. More children were ordered deported under the first Trump administration (70% of completed cases) than under either the Obama (51%) or Biden (45%) administrations. Children who were not represented by an attorney were far more likely to be ordered deported.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143733870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analyses rely on datasets built with individual-level linked historical Censuses (1901–1940), which longitudinally map socio-economic indices of full occupational careers of late-nineteenth-century population birth cohorts (1884–1891). Modernization is measured by time-variant and metropolitan area-specific indicators of key industries, employment chances, domestic migration, and urbanicity. Contradicting modernization theory and the logic of industrialism, results demonstrate that macroeconomic opportunity structures do not explain differences in career growth curves of first- and second-generation immigrants in comparison to White men with US-born parents. Instead, we argue that structural ethnic cleavages, in combination with early-career class allocation, account for most of the observed immigrant variation in intragenerational mobility. We also find that the career growth curves of second-generation immigrants from Ireland, the Nordic countries, and Russia, in particular, far exceed those of multi-generational American men, but only if they started their careers in the working-class rather than the agricultural sector.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143672513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We contribute to and advance debates on the increased reliance on the concept of vulnerability in migration and asylum governance by mobilizing a policy mobility perspective. Drawing on case studies in Cádiz (Spain) and Marseille (France), we examine how vulnerability as a mobile policy concept becomes embedded in these sites as it encounters specific constellations of actors, institutions, and regulatory frameworks. Our analysis shows that the vulnerability concept easily adapts to the logics of (neo-)liberal marketization, and to both the “nativist” and “globalist” discourses that currently circulate in migration policy and public debate. We argue that the persistence of the vulnerability framework in migration governance is due to its flexibility and ability to serve diverse political agendas. In conclusion, we argue that a policy mobility perspective tempers the idea that a more coherent or inclusive definition would “fix” the problem of vulnerability governance and strengthen rights and protection for people on the move.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143607783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It highlights the intricate interplay between structural constraints and individual agency by drawing upon Giddens’ structuration theory. The study essentially builds on this theory in order to identify which factors influence the structural constraints and individual agency. The structural constraints include extended, forced sojourns in refugee camp, limited livelihood opportunities, educational issues, security concerns, healthcare challenges, and a lack of legal status. Conversely, individual agency delineates desires for durable solutions, peer pressure, and responses to exploitation. This study investigates first-hand narratives in order to identify the interplay between these forces, shedding light on their roles in shaping the irregular migration patterns. Despite the associated risks and uncertainties, the Rohingya undertake these journeys driven by a desire for safety and economic stability. Taking advantage of their situation, human traffickers target the Rohingya, exploit their vulnerability, and entice them to embark on risky journeys. This study, therefore, emphasizes the urgent need to find comprehensive solutions to address the plight of the Rohingya people.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"132 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143607778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The concept's usage, however, is largely isolated to specific contexts and cases. Those looking to engage it in their work face at least two challenges: (1) existing studies understand and apply legitimacy in different ways; and (2) there are no well-defined theoretical perspectives in the field to draw on. To facilitate such engagement, I first propose some shared understandings of legitimacy—namely a definition and conceptualization—that are widely applicable, amenable to diverse perspectives and approaches, and analytically useful. I then outline a theoretical perspective—one relating legitimacy to the actions of key players in migration (individuals, groups, organizations, states, etc.)—that can help researchers integrate legitimacy into their work, seek new avenues for future study, and bring the concept into wider conversations in the field. Finally, I illustrate how these arguments can enable new insights by expanding first on the theory of functional imperatives, followed by three substantive areas of migration research: the implementation and effectiveness of migration policies; the migration state and federalism; and status, deservingness, and social movements.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143607814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use the case of Sweden to study the strategies that migrants adopt to overcome barriers keeping them from fully using their education in the host society's labor market. We used administrative register data on employment, self-employment, unemployment, parental leave, and education to classify nine-year-long labor-market sequences of a cohort of migrants. Optimal matching and cluster analysis yielded five sequence types from which incorporation strategies can be inferred. We studied how institutional barriers to the transferability of human capital moderate the association between education and sequence type. We found that the association between education and the probability of each labor market sequence type depended on the institutional dissimilarity between origin and host country, even when linguistic dissimilarity and cultural dissimilarity were accounted for. Favored by supranational institutional arrangements that standardize educational credentials, migrants whose origin country was a member of what later became the European Higher Education Area avoided inactivity by converting their human capital into early employment. In contrast, highly educated migrants from other parts of the world tended to first obtain Swedish educational credentials before entering the labor market. Strategies based on self-employment were not related to education regardless of migrant origin and resulted in much lower earnings. Our findings show that differences in the transferability of human capital can produce diverse incorporation outcomes by shaping which strategies migrants adopt to navigate the context of reception.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143607784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It traces and explains the reconstitution of social workers’ professional identities and institutionalized practices that made them part of the ‘hostile environment’ the British government has been creating for irregular migrants. Drawing mostly on in-depth interviews with local welfare bureaucrats, social workers, and NGO practitioners, we identify three governmental moves that played a crucial role in turning social workers into border guards: the shifting of financial burden to local authorities; the linking of migrants’ destitution with their irregularity; and the framing of their expulsion as ‘voluntary return’. We employ a theoretical approach that builds on Foucault's differentiation between three principal modalities of power—law/sovereignty, discipline, and security—and highlights the productive interplay between them. Our analysis shows how the logics of law, discipline, and security complement and reinforce each other within policy, discourse, and everyday practice, and how this contributes to resolving inherent contradictions that otherwise hamper social workers’ participation in immigration control. The findings help to explain the often surprisingly smooth internalization of immigration control into public welfare institutions and to better understand the organizational modalities of everyday bordering within liberal-democratic states.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143607781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
