我们使用综合公共使用微数据样本的数据来记录生活在西南部和许多墨西哥家庭重新定居的新地区的本地出生和外国出生的墨西哥人的贫困率。我们的分析集中在就业模式的变化如何改变墨西哥家庭和儿童的贫困风险。我们证明，墨西哥人口分散在美国各地广泛在20世纪90年代，墨西哥工人，特别是移民，居住在西南部以外的贫困率要低得多。然而，墨西哥移民的迅速涌入给那些努力满足他们需求的社区带来了压力。我们为服务于墨西哥新移民的家庭医生提供建议，他们的情况与当地居民有很大不同。
We used data from the Integrated Public Use Microdata Samples to document poverty rates among native-born and foreign-born Mexicans living in the southwest and in new regions where many Mexican families have resettled. Our analysis focused on how changing patterns of employment have altered the risk of poverty among Mexican families and children. We demonstrate that the Mexican population dispersed widely throughout the United States during the 1990s and that Mexican workers, especially immigrants, residing outside the southwest had much lower rates of poverty. Yet, a rapid influx of Mexican immigrants is putting strain on communities struggling to meet their needs. We offer suggestions for family practitioners serving Mexican newcomers, whose circumstances differ greatly from those of local populations.
