The study found that increased interior immigration enforcement in the United States negatively affects the fertility rates of undocumented immigrants, particularly due to police-based measures linked to increased deportations.
Using the 2005-2014 waves of the American Community Survey -a period characterized by the rapid expansion of interior immigration enforcement initiatives across the United States, we evaluate the impact of a tougher policy environment on undocumented immigrants' fertility. We find that a one standard deviation increases in enforcement lowers childbearing among likely undocumented women by 5%. The effect stems from police based measures linked to increased deportations, which may raise uncertainty about the future of the family unit and its resources. (c) 2021 The Author(s).
