Law-Engaged Graduate Student Seminar with Josh Wassink - The New System of Mexican Migration: A Theoretical and Empirical Analysis

Date & Time Oct 02 2019 12:00 PM - 1:20 PM
Speaker(s)
Josh Wassink, PhD candidate, Population Research
Audience Restricted to Princeton graduate students, faculty, and fellows

Graduate students, fellows, and faculty only, please.
Each seminar features law-related papers or practice job talks presented by graduate students from many disciplines.

From the presenter: This paper examines the dramatic shift in Mexico-U.S. migration from unauthorized entry to legal temporary migration. What had been a stable system of circular undocumented migration from Mexico has been replaced by a new and growing system based on the circulation of temporary documented laborers, who surpassed 500,000 entries in 2018. I draw on prior theoretical and empirical research to develop a conceptual model that describes the new system, and confirm its tenets by using data from the Mexican Migration Project.
