abstract: 'An estimated 7.8 million people live and work in the United States
without authorized status. We examined the extent to which legal status
makes them vulnerable to employment discrimination despite technically
being protected under labor laws. We used three decades of data from the
nationally representative National Agricultural Workers Survey, which
provides four categories of self-reported legal status. We first
investigated how legal status affected the wages and income of Mexican
immigrant farmworkers using linear regression analyses. Then, we used
Blinder-Oaxaca models to decompose the wage and income gap across the
1989 to 2016 period, categorized into five eras. Unauthorized
farmworkers earned significantly lower wages and income compared to
those with citizen status, though the gap narrowed over time.
Approximately 57\% of the wage gap across the entire period was
unexplained by compositional characteristics. While the
unauthorized/citizen wage gap narrowed across eras, the unexplained
proportion increased substantially-from approximately 52\% to 93\%. That
the unexplained proportion expanded during eras with increased
immigration enforcement and greater migrant selectivity supports claims
that unauthorized status functions as a defining social position. This
evidence points to the need for immigration reform that better supports
fair labor practices for immigrants.'
