“…US population data suggest little effect of SB 1070 on the number of unauthorized immigrants in Arizona (AmuedoDorantes and Lozano 2015). Evidence beyond Arizona on state omnibus immigration laws, many of which included a universal E-Verify mandate, suggests a sizable drop in the population of unauthorized immigrants in states that adopted such laws (Good 2013). 1 This paper examines the effect of state E-Verify mandates on the population of unauthorized immigrants.…”

During the 2000s, several states adopted laws requiring employers to verify new employees' eligibility to work legally in the USA. This study uses data from the 2005-2014 American Community Survey to examine how such laws affect unauthorized immigrants' locational choices. The results indicate that having an E-Verify law reduces the number of less-educated prime-age immigrants from Mexico and Central America-immigrants who are likely to be unauthorized-living in a state. We find evidence that some new migrants are diverted to other states, but also suggestive evidence that some alreadypresent migrants leave the country entirely.JEL codes: J15, J61, J68

“…Two other studies examine the effect of omnibus legislation and other restrictive policies across multiple states, either for proxy groups for unauthorized immigrants or direct measures of the targeted population. Good (2013) estimates difference-in-differences models for the population level and population share of 52 demographic groups defined by legal status, raceethnicity, and education level. The study finds that those groups with high proportions of likely unauthorized immigrants (e.g., foreign-born noncitizen Hispanics, foreign-born noncitizen Hispanics with low education and who arrived in the United States after 1982) consistently experienced significant population declines as a result of a state adopting restrictive omnibus legislation.…”

In some states, policies have taken the form of omnibus legislation designed to place restrictions on immigrants who are in the United States without authorization, through actions of law enforcement and employers, as well as limits in other aspects of public life. In other states, policies have been adopted one by one, such as requiring employers in the public and private sectors to verify employment eligibility through E-Verify, to preclude access to driver's licenses for individuals who are not authorized to be in the country, and to exclude unauthorized students from eligibility for in-state tuition at public colleges and universities. At the same time, some states have also adopted policies toward unauthorized immigrants that are unrestrictive-for example, by making driver's licenses available to all regardless of immigration status or basing access to in-state tuition solely on residency requirements, regardless of immigration status.The expanding role of states in these areas of policy raises questions about the consequences of state-level action for various stakeholders in the public and private sectors. Within this context, the goals of this study are to• develop a cost-benefit framework for classifying the potential impacts of specific statelevel policies, identifying the potential domains of impact and how different stakeholders in the public and private sectors would be affected • review the research literature to identify empirical evidence, where it exists, regarding the likely magnitudes of the impacts of specific state-level immigration-related policies • use the cost-benefit fr...

“…These actions have attracted the attention of researchers trying to assess their effects. See, for instance, Hanson and Spilimbergo (1999), Orrenius (2001), Dávila et al (2002), Hanson et al (2002), Amuedo-Dorantes and Bansak (2012), Good (2013) and Bohn et al (2014). This paper joins this literature by evaluating the short-term effects of immigration legislation.…”

Purpose This paper aims to examine the short-term effect of the Arizona Immigration Law of 2010 (SB 1070) on the noncitizen Hispanic state population. Design/methodology/approach To get a consistent estimate of this effect, a synthetic control method has been used to calculate a suitable counterfactual. Findings Results indicate that this bill produced a statistically significant short-term reduction in the proportion of noncitizen Hispanics in Arizona between 10 and 15 per cent. However, the evidence suggests that this effect vanishes after a few months. Originality/value These findings are consistent with previous evidence of the high mobility of the undocumented population in the US, and contribute to the understanding of the effects of federal and state-level immigration legislation.
