无证移民身份是社会经济流动的结构性障碍。因此，法律地位的正规化可能会促进以前的无证移民的社会经济流动性。2012年儿童抵达延迟行动(DACA)计划为童年时期来到美国的合格无证移民提供了不被驱逐出境的保护和获得工作授权的机会。虽然使用横断面数据的研究发现，DACA有助于改善社会经济状况，但没有研究考察DACA接受者随着时间的推移的社会经济状况，也很少有研究按DACA接受者的群体进行分类。来自对DACA接受者的唯一纵向研究之一，我们使用增长曲线模型估计加州拉丁裔/a DACA参与者从DACA领取前一年到DACA领取后77个月的个人工资轨迹。在这个样本中，与非接受者相比，DACA与接受者的收入轨迹改善有关。在接受DACA的人中，根据年龄和教育程度衡量，不同人生阶段的收入增长存在差异。值得注意的是，DACA终身教职似乎对那些在较早年龄获得DACA并获得大学学位的人特别有益。这项研究有助于我们理解移民法律和政策在构建美国移民融合和社会经济流动性方面的作用。
Undocumented immigration status is a structural barrier to socioeconomic mobility. The regularization of legal status may therefore promote the socioeconomic mobility of formerly undocumented immigrants. The 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program provided protection against deportation and access to work authorization for eligible undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children. While studies using cross-sectional data find that DACA led to improved socioeconomic status, no studies have examined the socioeconomic status of DACA recipients over time and few have disaggregated among groups of DACA recipients. Drawing from one of the only longitudinal studies of DACA recipients, we use growth curve models to estimate individuals’ wage trajectories from the year prior to DACA receipt up to 77 months post-DACA receipt among Latino/a DACA participants in California. In this sample, DACA is associated with improved earnings trajectories for recipients, compared with nonrecipients. Among DACA recipients, there is variation in earnings growth by stage of the life course, as measured by age and educational attainment. Notably, DACA tenure appears to be particularly beneficial for individuals who attain DACA at earlier ages and who earn college degrees. This study contributes to our understanding of the role of immigration laws and policies in structuring immigrant integration and socioeconomic mobility in the United States.
