DACA Paper

Caitlin Patler, Erin Hamilton, and Jo Hale get their research published in the American Behavioral Scientist Journal

The research investigates the relationship between an immigrant's legal status and their projected socioeconomic status. To explore this relationship, Patler, Hamilton, and Hale compare earnings of immigrants with DACA to those without. What they found was that recipients of DACA were expected to be in a higher socioeconomic class than non-receiving immigrants.
