Based on fieldwork conducted in 2025 in Ciudad Juárez and Mexico City, we find that many of the migrants from Latin America and the Caribbean have had very long and complex itineraries, trajectories, and legal statuses within the Americas. They were negotiating new possibilities in the face of constant change in migration policies in other Latin American countries, as well as recent changes in internalization and externalization policies of border control in the United States and Mexico. Specifically, our findings showcase (1) how relatively direct trajectories to Mexico have become longer, more dangerous, and more uncertain; (2) how people have visited multiple countries and lived in multiple countries holding several legal statuses before arriving to Mexico; and (3) how a reversal of the flow is increasing, with some considering returning to countries where they lived before, not necessarily their country of birth because staying in Mexico or arriving to the United States had become harder. In this Dispatch from the Field, we focus the discussion on their implications in three domains: (1) migrant's lives in terms of future plans, international protection, and legal pathways for migration; (2) theorizing migration, refuge, integration, transit, and return; and (3) data collection and analysis.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147489889","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}

Because some immigrants are especially likely to face harm if deported, we examine how immigrants’ identity and economic characteristics shape deportation attitudes. We focus on unauthorized LGBTQ+ immigrants in the United States, examining the interplay between immigrants’ economic contributions and respondents’ partisanship. We rely on an original survey experiment with a sample of U.S. respondents that mirrors Census quotas for key socio-demographic indicators. We present three main findings. First, without any information on economic contributions, similar levels of support emerge for the deportation of gay and straight unauthorized immigrants. Second, immigrants’ economic contributions substantially reduce support for deportation among both groups. Third, this apparent consensus masks important partisan differences. Democrats reward gay unauthorized immigrants significantly more than straight unauthorized immigrants for their economic contributions. The opposite occurs for Republicans: support for deportation is substantially lower for straight unauthorized immigrants who have made economic contributions. These findings illustrate how partisan identity structures the application of deservingness heuristics in immigration attitudes, with implications for immigration policy debates around vulnerable immigrant populations.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"92 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147454672","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}

Existing explanations emphasise socio-demographic characteristics, political and economic contexts, and access to migrant networks. This article tests socio-psychological factors as predictors of variation in migration aspirations, plans, preparations, and irregularity willingness. Using original, nationally representative survey data from Montenegro, it tests the effects of personal values, risk aversion, self-efficacy, interpersonal trust, behavioural inhibition, and personality traits. In particular, individuals who value openness-to-change and self-enhancement and are less risk-averse are significantly more likely to express a desire to migrate, even when controlling for conventional predictors. Psychological factors play a more limited role in explaining the more behavioural plans and preparations, where structural and enabling factors dominate, consistent with the aspirations–capabilities framework, though perhaps reflecting statistical power. Willingness to migrate irregularly displays a largely distinct pattern of associations, particularly higher interpersonal trust and lower conscientiousness. Overall, the results suggest that psychology is particularly well suited to explaining why people want to migrate and how they would be willing to do so, while migration behaviour depends more heavily on capabilities.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147393362","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}

Our framework was developed during research conducted in 2022 with individuals assisting Ukrainian war refugees in Poland and was applied in five FGWs attended by 36 participants. The originality of the FGW lies in linking the ideas of an ad-hoc support group, an educational workshop and a focus group interview. We argue that this is a much needed development in migration studies, which can help to attract participation and facilitate the involvement of interviewees, increase the richness and depth of research data and satisfy ethical requirements for benefiting participants and generating social good. In this Note, after presenting the context of our research, we explain the specificity of our research, focusing on the needs and constraints of volunteers. We then discuss the role of reciprocity in social research. Next, we present our framework and toolkit and explain in detail how we implemented them and the challenges we experienced. In conclusion, we argue that our FGW method can bring a novel approach to migration studies as it allows for immediate reciprocity in the form of competencies sharing with workshop participants as well as networking and support. It also allows us to address the power hierarchies, particularly present in research with vulnerable groups. Last but not least, FGW can be used by researchers who are also activists, as it allows for the study of specific social issues and simultaneously supports researched communities.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"147 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147358801","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}

Studying these emotional experiences is challenging due to limited longitudinal data. To address this, we curated high-quality data and analyzed Twitter activities of immigrants in the United States to explore how their expressed sentiments evolve post-migration, comparing them to non-immigrants and US locals in a quasi-causal sense. Our findings revealed that migration generally boosts positive sentiments among immigrants, even when discussing the same topics, and that this effect lasts up to one-year post-migration. However, there is no conclusive evidence that migration significantly impacts negative sentiments. These patterns indicate that the migration event is associated with an expansion of positive expressed sentiments among immigrants, rather than a reduction in negative ones, suggesting a reorientation of emotional expression that reflects adaptation or opportunity recognition following migration. Additionally, age and gender play a key role, with younger population and females more likely to express positive sentiments post-migration, while linguistic ties also help foster increased positivity. These insights advance our understanding of immigrants’ emotional adaptation and highlight key demographic and social factors that shape their post-migration experiences.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147358854","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}

Across Europe, the erosion of social norms has emboldened xenophobic discourse, fueling a surge in anti-refugee sentiments. As hostility toward refugees intensifies, a critical question emerges: How does this environment affect the lived experiences of refugees themselves? One key yet underexplored aspect of refugee experiences is social marginalization, the perception of being unappreciated, excluded, or unwelcome in society. This paper contributes to the growing literature on host society antagonism by examining how anti-refugee violence in Germany influences social marginalization among refugees. Drawing on the German Socio-Economic Panel surveys from 2016 to 2017, linked to administrative data on anti-refugee violence from the Anti Refugee Violence in Germany (ARVIG) project, the study employs multilevel modeling to assess this relationship. The findings show that refugees living in counties with higher levels of anti-refugee violence report significantly greater social marginalization. These results underscore the importance of considering the broader socio-political climate of the host society when analysing integration and assimilation outcomes.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147287485","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}
