Abstract

"The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) created two one-time only legalization programs affecting nearly 3 million undocumented immigrants. Legalization has produced important changes among immigrants and in immigration policy. These changes include new patterns of immigrant social and economic adaptation to the United States and new immigrant flows through family ties to IRCA-legalized aliens.... This article combines data from a longitudinal survey of the IRCA-legalized population with qualitative field data on current immigration issues from key informants in eight high-immigration metropolitan areas. It reviews the political evolution and early implementation of legalization, the current socioeconomic position of legalized aliens, and changes in the immigration ¿policy space' resulting from legalization."

摘要

1986年的《移民改革与控制法案》（IRCA）设立了两个一次性的合法化项目，影响了近300万无证移民。合法化在移民群体以及移民政策方面带来了重大变化。这些变化包括移民在美国社会和经济适应方面的新模式，以及通过与IRCA合法化的外国人的家庭关系形成的新移民潮……本文将对IRCA合法化人群的纵向调查数据与来自八个高移民大都市地区关键信息提供者关于当前移民问题的定性实地数据相结合。它回顾了合法化的政治演变和早期实施情况、合法化外国人目前的社会经济地位，以及合法化导致的移民“政策空间”的变化。
