UNDOCUMENTED MIGRATION
TO THE UNITED STATES
IRCA and the Experience of the 1980s
Edited by Frank D. Bean, Barry Edmonston,
and Jeffrey S. Passel
The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act—the most
sweeping revision of U.S. immigration policy since 1965—contains
several major provisions but its most important objective was to
reduce illegal immigration. This book presents the most up-to-
date evidence available on the size of the illegal population in the
United States and how it has changed in the 1980s. The various
authors rely on several different data sources to tackle the problem
of estimating whether IRCA has had an impact on illegal
immigration to the United States and employ a variety of
approaches to tease out information on trends. Some present
results based on data collected in Mexico, the single most
important source country—a valuable supplement to complete the
picture of changing patterns of illegal immigration.
