Abstract

This report document the origins, extent, and consequences of unauthorized migration status for the offspring of Mexican immigrants in the United States. In particular, we assess the implications of unauthorized status for educational attainment, among both the migrants themselves and their children (including those born in the United States) and grandchildren.
