Approximately 19.8 million children are believed to have accompanied their parents…

During 1981-84, migration patterns of both the poor and nonpoor consistently reinforced preexisting spatial concentrations of poverty. High migration rates of the poor into and out of high poverty counties suggest an equilibrium condition. A locale's persistent poverty may result not from lack of opportunity but from an opportunity structure that…

The Immigration and Naturalization Service's (INS) 1-213 forms can be used by educators to help students analyze Mexican origin patterns and U.S. intraurban patterns. Data from the San Antonio INS district show that while migrants are coming in greater numbers, they are not social and economic burdens. (RM)
