Immigration enforcement has intensified in the U.S., however, there is little evidence on its effect on citizen’s labor outcomes. Exploiting the staggered rollout of a large, federal enforcement policy–Secure Communities (SC)–across local areas, we estimate a difference-in-differences model with time and location fixed effects. We find that SC reduced the labor supply of high-skilled citizen mothers. This effect is larger for mothers with young children, and there are persistent negative effects following the birth of a child. The increased cost of outsourcing household production, due to reduced undocumented immigrant women’s labor supply, is an important mechanism.
