“…In what follows, we further assess the robustness of our findings to the exclusion of outliers, to the focus on Secure Communities-an immigration enforcement arguably more exogenous given the fact that participating counties could not opt-in (East et al 2018) 22 -and to the use of constant 2000 Census county population weights that would be unaffected by immigration enforcement.…”

“…To measure immigration enforcement, we use country of origin‐MSA deportation rates, which we derive from individual level records on removals under SC. This measure differs from other papers which use the roll‐out dates of SC to capture variation in the intensity of the program (Alsan & Yang, 2019; East & Velásquez, 2020; East et al., 2020). Our measure, therefore, allows us to model marriage markets at the MSA and country of origin level.…”

“…The combination of these data sets provides an innovative picture of the impact of actual or de facto immigration enforcement, as well as that of awareness of immigration raids—a proxy for the perceived threat of deportation—on a number of likely undocumented migrants' labor market outcomes. To date, most studies have focused, instead, on understanding the labor market impacts of the precursors of such de facto measures—namely, de jure measures, such as Secure Communities, employment verification mandates or omnibus immigration laws (e.g., Amuedo‐Dorantes & Bansak, 2012; Amuedo‐Dorantes & Lozano, 2015; East & Velasquez, 2019; East et al., 2019). While of great relevance, questions remain regarding migrants' awareness of de jure measures, not to mention differences in the strictness with which such measures might be implemented in various localities at various points in time based on its population composition, police department, or political affiliations of local officials—to name a few factors.…”
