摘要

2019年，非法穿越美墨边境的儿童移民人数创下历史新高。在大流行开始时，联邦政府援引第42条后，美国边境巡逻队开始将大多数越境者驱逐回墨西哥。一项法院命令，随后拜登政府正式改变政策，免除了大多数无人陪伴的儿童移民被驱逐出境。我们发现这一豁免导致了更多的无人陪伴的儿童移民，并且在第42条结束后继续增加。

U.S. immigration policy changes and children crossing the U.S.-Mexico border alone

The number of child migrants illegally crossing the US-Mexico border reached record highs in 2019. After the federal government invoked Title 42 at the start of the pandemic, the US Border Patrol began expelling most border crossers back to Mexico. A court order, followed by a formal policy change by the Biden administration, exempted most unaccompanied child migrants from being expelled. We find this exemption resulted in significantly more unaccompanied child migrants, and the increase persisted after Title 42 ended.

期刊介绍： Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
