当前对美墨关系的分析。移民理论一般基于社会经济背景和男性被调查者的决策过程。此外，关于无证墨西哥移民妇女的有限数据主要涉及墨美关系。边境地区和邻近的美国城市中心。我们的定性研究重点是居住在华盛顿州中部的无证墨西哥移民妇女，该地区的经济以农业综合企业发展为主导，依赖于移民和移民农场劳动力。本文评估了新古典国际移民经济学和社会资本理论在解释妇女移民决策过程中的命题。项目数据表明，虽然太平洋西北部一段时间以来一直是主要的迁徙目的地，但现在它可能越来越多地成为美国第二阶段的迁徙地点，继最初向加利福尼亚等更传统的目的地迁移之后。(C) 2002年Elsevier Science Inc.出版
Current analyses of Mexico-U.S. migration theory generally are based on socioeconomic contexts and decision-making processes of male respondents. Further, limited data available on undocumented Mexican immigrant women mainly address the Mexico-U.S. border area, and adjacent U.S. urban centers. Our qualitative study focuses on undocumented Mexican immigrant women residing in central Washington State, where the regional economy is dominated by agribusiness development and dependent on immigrant and migrant farm labor. This paper assesses propositions of neoclassical economic and social capital theories of international migration in explaining the women's migration decision-making processes. Project data indicate that while the Pacific Northwest has been a primary migration destination for sometime, it now may be increasingly a second-stage U.S. migration site, following initial migration to more traditional destinations such as California.
