Are the Biden administration's migrant surge facilities effective at reuniting migrant children with their families?
@AmuedoDorantes and @jrbucheli find such facilities reduced reunification time by 13 days!

Coming home to prosperity: How return migration promotes economic development.

Recently on VoxDev, @jrbucheli & @Fontenla_UNM @nmsu outlined how international migration has the potential to contribute to prosperity in #Mexico, even after migrants return: https://t.co/lM0W1cxiTL

What is the impact of family separation policies at the US border on migrant children?

In this paper, @AmuedoDorantes and I find that family separations raise the number of ‘unaccompanied’ children while lowering their odds of discharge from government custody and reunification.

[International Migration Review (IMR) @IMRjournal]

Reflecting on #Trump-era #migration policy, Catalina Amuedo-Dorantes and @jrbucheli study the impacts of the admin’s zero-tolerance policy on rates of family separation & reunification at the US-Mexico #border, and its implications today.

Increased desperation and living conditions while waiting in Mexico played a crucial role.

[José R. Bucheli @jrbucheli]

Can preventing asylum seekers from reaching ports of entry backfire?

In this new article with @AmuedoDorantes, we find that ‘metering’ asylum seekers during the Trump administration pushed many to cross the border illegally. https://t.co/1NfCfVSr6i #EconTwitter

@SuriTavneet @Fontenla_UNM Thank you for your support! 🙏

Ecstatic that my JMP is officially forthcoming at REStat! With @Fontenla_UNM we study return migration to communities of origin in Mexico with data on migration, development, and US immigration policies. This is yet another reminder of migrants’ contributions wherever they go.

In this joint work with @AmuedoDorantes and @amdonate, we find that local policies can mitigate the negative effects of immigration enforcement on US-born students.
