在本研究报告中，我们调查了第二代墨西哥裔美国儿童在童年时期移民到墨西哥并从墨西哥返回的流行程度和模式，并考虑了这种移民对他们学业的影响。大约十分之一的第二代墨西哥裔美国儿童在墨西哥度过了他们的童年。童年回到美国的强烈模式表明，即使在墨西哥，他们也被认为是墨西哥裔美国人的第二代。他们在墨西哥的入学率远低于留在美国的第二代墨西哥裔美国人的入学率，这不能用他们对移民的微弱负面选择来解释。我们的结论是，居住国是一个比该国移民身份更重要的决定因素。
In this Research Note, we investigate the prevalence and patterns of second-generation Mexican-American children's migration to and return from Mexico during childhood and consider the consequences of this migration for their schooling. Around one in ten second-generation Mexican-American children live in Mexico for some of their childhood. Strong patterns of return to the U.S. through childhood argue for their being considered as part of the Mexican-American second generation even when in Mexico. Their rates of school enrollment in Mexico are much lower than for second-generation Mexican-American children remaining in the U.S. and cannot be explained by their weakly negative selection into emigration. We conclude that country of residence is a far more important determinant of schooling outcome than is migrant status in that country.
