There has been an ongoing concern about the productivity of kinship-based immigrants in the U.S. labor market. Despite the policy importance of this issue, little empirical or theoretical attention has been devoted to learning the effect of different admission criteria on immigrants’ economic performance. To estimate the effect of admission criteria on immigrant earnings profiles, we use 1980 census data on individuals matched to Immigration and Naturalization Service information on admission criteria for country-of-origin/year-of-entry immigrant cohorts. We find that nonoccupation-based immigration, most of which is family-based, is associated with lower entry earnings but higher earnings growth than occupation-based immigration. The higher estimated earnings growth is sufficient for nonoccupation-based immigrants to catch up with occupationally admitted immigrants after eleven to eighteen years in the United States.

Current sources of data on rental housing – such as the census or commercial databases that focus on large apartment complexes – do not reflect recent market activity or the full scope of the U.S. rental market. To address this gap, we collected, cleaned, analyzed, mapped, and visualized 11 million Craigslist rental housing listings. The data reveal fine-grained spatial and temporal patterns within and across metropolitan housing markets in the U.S. We find some metropolitan areas have only single-digit percentages of listings below fair market rent. Nontraditional sources of volunteered geographic information offer planners real-time, local-scale estimates of rent and housing characteristics currently lacking in alternative sources, such as census data.

Mexican Adults

This article compares two different methods for estimating the number of undocumented Mexican adults in Los Angeles Country (i.e., the Los Angeles Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area or PMSA). The first method, called the survey-based method, uses a combination of 1980 census data and the results of a survey conducted in Los Angeles County in 1980 and 1981. A sample was selected from babies born in Los Angeles County who had a mother or father of Mexican origin. The survey included questions about the legal status of the baby's parents and certain other relatives. The resulting estimates of undocumented Mexican immigrants are for males aged 18 to 44 years and females aged 18 to 39 years. The second method, called the residual method, is the method used by Warren and Passel (1987) and Passel and Woodrow (1984) to estimate the number of undocumented aliens counted in the 1980 census for the United States and each state, respectively. The method involves comparison of census figures for aliens counted with estimates of legally-resident aliens developed principally with data from the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). For this study, estimates by age, sex, and period of entry were produced for persons born in Mexico and living in Los Angeles County.

The plaintiff, a Chinese citizen who entered the United States under a nonimmigrant student visa, appealed from a decision by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to deny his request for asylum. Plaintiff claimed that he had a “well-founded fear of persecution,” the prerequisite to attaining “refugee” status under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (the Act) and implementing regulations promulgated by the INS. He also claimed that the immigration judge had erred by refusing to obtain a second advisory opinion from the Department of State’s Bureau of Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs (BHRHA). The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (per Nelson, J.) held that (1) the immigration judge had abused his discretion by not requesting a second advisory opinion from the BHRHA; and (2) the judge had incorrectly applied an objective standard in evaluating plaintiffs asylum request, when credible evidence demonstrated that plaintiff had a subjectively valid fear of persecution if deported to China. The court remanded the case to the immigration judge with instructions to obtain a second opinion from the BHRHA and to consider plaintiffs asylum request on the assumption that he qualified as a “refugee.”

Abstract Background/Introduction PSVT is a sporadic, sudden and recurring tachycardia that can be difficult to diagnose. Estimates based on an initial healthcare encounter may underestimate PSVT prevalence because patients may have multiple encounters before definitive diagnosis. Purpose To estimate the prevalence of PSVT patients in the US using longitudinal data. Methods Retrospective study that used demographic, enrollment and claims data from Truven MarketScan® (age <65y) and Medicare Limited Dataset (age≥65y) databases from 2008–2016. All individuals continuously enrolled in their health plans for 5 years were included; PSVT patients were required to have claims with a PSVT diagnosis (ICD-9: 427.0; ICD-10: I47.1) on 2+ outpatient visits, 1+ inpatient admission or 1+ ED visit. The 9-year period prevalence was calculated as the number of PSVT patients /number of individuals observable for 5 continuous years, and the 9-year prevalence from the study population was projected to the U.S. population by sex and age (<18, 18–34, 35–44, 45–54, 55–64, ≥65) using 2010–2016 U.S. census data. Results Of 18,057,297 study patients, 86,630 met criteria for PSVT. Projected to the US population, prevalence estimates ranged from 1,749,358 in 2010 to 1,967,532 in 2016. Prevalence rates increased with age, from 0.871/1,000 (<18y) to 5.031/1,000 (45–54y) and 21.881/1,000 (≥65y). Prevalence rates were higher for females in all age groups, except the <18y cohort, but the difference in prevalence between female and male patients decreased with age. Relative rates of PSVT were more than twice as high for females age 18–44y, while prevalence rates were 1.3 to 1.6 times higher in females age 45y and above (Table). Prevalence of PSVT in the US by Age and Gender, 2010–2016 Age Prevalence/1,000 [Female; Male] US Population (Year) Projected Prevalence (US) <18 0.871 [0.898; 0.845] 323,127,513 (2016) 1,967,532 18–34 2.268 [3.023; 1.440] 320,896,618 (2015) 1,930,746 35–44 3.313 [4,340; 2.147] 318,563,456 (2014) 1,892,923 45–54 5.031 [6.058; 3.845] 316,204,908 (2013) 1,855,256 55–64 7.761 [8.663; 6.727] 313,998,379 (2012) 1,818,690 65+ 21.881 [24.480; 18.329] 311,663,358 (2011) 1,777,397 Total 4.798 [5.823; 3.668] 309,348,193 (2010) 1,749,064 Conclusions Based on insurance claims data, PSVT affected 1.7–2 million individuals in the U.S. annually between 2010 and 2016. Prevalence rates were higher in older individuals and females, with much higher rates for females ages 18–44y relative to males. Estimates that rely on a single medical encounter may underestimate PSVT prevalence.

Last fall the United States ambassador to the United Nations, Jeane Kirkpatrick, attempted to draw worldwide attention to the “savagery” of Ethiopia's Marxist regime. “It is estimated that some 30,000 persons in Ethiopia were summarily executed for political reasons between 1974 and 1978,” she told the U.N. General Assembly on October 2, 1981. “Twelve-year-old children were among those immersed in hot oil. sexually tortured, or flung out of windows and left to die in the street.”At about the same time Ambassador Kirkpatrick was detailing the horrors of the Mengistu government, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service was busy preparing a review of the residency status of Ethiopians living in the United Stales.

PURPOSE: The objectives of this study were as follows: (1) to compare the magnitude of the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and cancer survival in the Canadian province of Ontario with that in the United States (U.S.), and (2) to compare cancer survival in communities with similar SES in Ontario and in the U.S. METHODS: The Ontario Cancer Registry provided information about all cases of invasive cancer diagnosed in Ontario from 1987 to 1992, and the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Registry (SEER) provided information about all cases diagnosed in the SEER regions of the U.S. during the same time period. Census data provided information about SES at the community level. The product-limit method was used to describe cause-specific survival. Cox proportional hazards models were used to describe the association between SES and the risk of death from cancer. RESULTS: There were significant associations between SES and survival for most cancer sites in both the U.S. and Ontario, but the magnitude of the association was usually larger in the U.S. In the poorest communities, there were significant survival advantages in favor of cancer patients in Ontario for many disease groups, including cancers of the lung, head and neck region, cervix, and uterus. However, in upper- and middle-income communities, there were significant survival advantages in favor of the U.S. for all cases combined and for several individual diseases, including cancers of the breast, colon and rectum, prostate, and bladder. CONCLUSION: The association between SES and cancer survival is weaker in Ontario than it is in the U.S. This is due to a combination of better survival among patients in the poorest communities and worse survival among patients in the wealthier communities of Ontario relative to those in the U.S.

Biographical data were collected on members of the U.S. executive, legislative, and judicial branches, in George Washington's first through Ronald Reagan's last administration, fromWho Was Who in America,theBiographical Dictionary of the United States Congress, Vice Presidents and Cabinet Members,andBurke's Presidential Families of the United States of America.They suggest that serial polygyny in this sample has declined over the last two hundred years. Census data on average American men suggest that the number of wives per man has stayed the same or increased at the same time. These trends imply that mating equality may have increased over the last two centuries of American history. What sketchy evidence exists on extramarital opportunities tentatively suggests a similar trend.
