1 Public Policy (PPOL-G797), University of Massachusetts Office: Wheatley Enrico Marcelli, Instructor Fall 2006: Mondays, 4:00-6:30pm Mobile Phone: U.S. IMMIGRATION & IMMIGRANT POLICY I. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES One of the most important yet least informed policy debates occurring in the United States at the moment concerns U.S. immigration. This graduate student seminar will explore competing (e.g., realist, pluralist, elitist) theories of U.S. immigration and immigrant policy formation, and assess how well various policies have reflected public opinion and scientific evidence. In the first part of the course, we will consider archaeological evidence and theories concerning the first people to migrate to the Americas, recent immigration trends, and the conventional view that the United States has linearly lurched from relatively liberal to restrictionist immigration policies since English colonization. We will see that the newly independent nation took its first steps toward selective immigration policy quite early in 1788, while Congress was still operating under the Articles of Confederation (Zolberg 2006: 73). We will also consider evidence throughout the antebellum period suggesting that the United States has a long history of immigrant selectivity. That is, I will argue that viewing the 1875 restriction of convicts, paupers, and prostitutes from entering the United States as the first national-level law and commencement of restrictive U.S. immigration policy (Heer 1996: 37) is misleading because the colonies and then the states also approached immigration selectively. The first part of the course will conclude by reviewing the last three major immigration acts (of 1986, 1990, and 1996) much of which focused on what is alternatively labeled illegal, undocumented, or unauthorized immigration. The second part of our course will therefore shift from a history of immigration policy to research on illegal immigration. Specifically, we will review the two main methods for estimating the number, characteristics, and economic effects of unauthorized immigrant residents of the United States that were pioneered by demographer David Heer. The methodological core of the first is simply subtracting the 1
2 number of registered legal immigrants recorded in government administrative data from the number of foreign-born persons enumerated in a census and adjusting for deaths and emigration. This is the so-called residual or composite estimation methodology (Heer 1979) that is used to produce national and state level aggregate estimates by country of origin and U.S. state of residence. Alternatively, the direct surveybased estimation methodology developed by Marcelli and Heer (1997) provides estimates of the number and characteristics of unauthorized immigrants, but it can also distinguish authorized from unauthorized immigrants at the individual level and thus be employed to estimate how unauthorized immigrants affect other workers employment and earnings outcomes (Marcelli et al. 1999) as well as their use of public assistance (Marcelli and Heer 1998) in specific geographic areas. Such estimates, I shall argue, are critical for informing the current immigration policy debate, but are almost nonexistent. We will then consider a third approach to estimating the number of unauthorized immigrants the grouped-answers methodology that is currently being developed to estimate the number and characteristics of unauthorized immigrants in large (e.g., national) surveys at the individual level. This is still being validated by the U.S. Census Bureau and the General Accountability Office (1999), but promises to overcome several disadvantages of the residual (e.g., only aggregate numbers by country of birth and state of residence) and survey-based (e.g., geographically circumscribed) methods. The last part of the course will consider several topics concerning unauthorized immigrants that have received relatively little attention in the academic literature despite their persistent presence in contemporary media and policy debates (1) immigrant underenumeration in the 2000 Census, (2) immigrants demographic profile and geographic settlement patterns, (3) how unauthorized immigrants affect other workers employment and earnings outcomes, and how unauthorized status itself influences the average immigrant s labor market outcomes, (4) unauthorized immigrants use of public services and fiscal effects, and how localities respond to these, (5) immigrant remittances, and (6) immigrant access to medical care and overall health. Each of these six topical domains is hotly contested and requires significantly more study if immigration policy is to become well informed by social science research. There are two main goals of this course. The first is to review and understand the history of U.S. immigration and immigrant policies. The second is to master the academic literature on one of the six hot topics mentioned above, and to write a research article that contributes to the current immigration debate by being submitted to be reviewed for publication in a peer-reviewed journal such as the Journal of Immigrant Health, Demography, International Migration Review, International Migration, Population Research and Policy Review, or Migraciones Internacionales. Each student should select one of these journals to target for submission on or before the date the term paper s literature review is due (October 2, 2006). Course requirements include weekly essays that answer questions I will offer from required readings (due Friday afternoon before our next Monday evening class meeting) and a term paper (due 12/18/06). There will be no examinations. II. REQUIRED COURSE READING In addition to the three required books listed directly below, we will read various journal articles and selected readings from edited volumes, government agencies, and think tanks that will be available electronically. These are listed separately for each week in Section IV of this syllabus. Hayes, Helene U.S. Immigration Policy and the Undocumented: Ambivalent Laws, Furtive Lives. Westport, CT: Preager. Massey, Douglas S. et al., Eds Beyond Smoke and Mirrors: Mexican Immigration in an Era of Economic Integration. New York: Russell Sage Foundation. Zolberg, Aristide A Nation by Design: Immigration Policy in the Fashioning of America. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press and Russell Sage Foundation. 2
3 III. COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND GRADING Final grades will be based on two components. First, each student is required to me a 2-3 page response essay addressing a question I will ask related to required readings each week, beginning with the second week. The best 10 of a possible 12 essays will constitute 50 percent of the final grade. I must receive each essay by 3:00 pm the Friday before our next class meeting by or a grade of zero will be assigned. There will be no exceptions here given that two of the 12 essays can be missed altogether without any harm to one s grade. The second component of the final grade is a term paper (50 percent). Each student should schedule a time to meet with me privately during the first two weeks of the semester to discuss a plan for completing the three core sections of the term paper (literature review, data and methodology, results). Regular class attendance and arrival before 4:00pm are expected. If you anticipate any difficulty in this regard, please seriously reconsider whether you want to take this course. A. Weekly Essays (50%): Weekly essays should answer the question I draw from the required readings. Do not simply regurgitate what you read or simply list things from the readings in a bulleted format. These should be short critical essays that might, for instance, be found in The New Yorker, The Nation, or some other popular magazine. They should be fun and provocative. B. Term Paper (50%): Each student will select one of the six hot topics listed below and write a research paper not to exceed 15 double-spaced pages (excluding title page and references). For those who are inclined to write an empirical paper that statistically analyzes data, I recommend one of the following fairly well-known and respected data sources on immigration: Los Angeles County Mexican Immigrant Residency Status Survey (LAC-MIRSS) See me if you are interested in using these data California Health Insurance Survey (CHIS) See for other ideas and publications. 3. Latin American Migration Project (LAMP) See for ideas and publications. 4. New Immigrant Survey (NIS) See for ideas and publications. Each paper should have an introduction which clearly states the hypothesis, hypotheses, or events that motivate the paper in a few sentences only, a literature review that summarizes the main findings of the most important past research on the selected topic, a section explaining the data and methods employed to test the hypothesis or hypotheses, a results section, and a brief conclusion. Students are encouraged to submit an outline for the paper during the first several weeks of class, and to discuss the project with me at any time throughout the semester. The literature review will be due on or before October 2 nd, 2006 and the final draft of the paper is due on or before December 18 th, Each day the literature review or the final paper is late I will deduct half a letter grade. For example, if you hand in a paper that receives a score of 90% one day late, it will be reduced to 85%, It will be reduced to a grade of 80% if it is handed in two days late, etc. IV. COURSE SCHEDULE I shall reserve the right to alter the schedule or reading assignments shown below, and will make an effort to announce any changes well in advance. 3
