The Settlement Process Among Mexican Migrants to the United States
Abstract
This report examines the process of integration and settlement among Mexican migrants to the United States using data specially collected from four Mexican sending communities. These data indicate that as migrants accumulate experience in the United States social and economic ties are formed which progressively increase the likelihood of U.S. settlement. Over time migrants bring family members abroad make new friends establish institutional connections and obtain more stable better paying jobs. As a result less money is remitted home to Mexico and more is spent in the United States. These trends give rise to a steady cumulative increase in the probability of U.S. settlement. (EXCERPT)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
