- W114744540 abstract "Observers of the immigration debate often describe battle between native-bom, non-Hispanic white hosts and Latino-immigrant and second-generation guests. This description may in some ways make sense. The majority of immigrants in the United States come from Latin America (54 percent), and Mexican-born immigrants alone constitute roughly 31 percent of the total foreign-bom population. Of course, the immigrant guests are not exclusively Latino; some 27 percent of the foreign-born come from Asia, and another 13 percent come from Europe (Migration Policy Institute, 2008). But the population is not homogeneous either. Among the U.S.-born individuals with deep roots in the United States are African Americans, Asian-origin Americans, and Latino Americans, particularly those of Mexican descent. Though many think of ethnic Mexicans as recent immigrant group, roughly three in ten people of Mexican descent trace their roots in the United States back three generations or more. And so part of the host population that grap- ples with how to weigh the costs and benefits of immigration is Mexican Americans whose fam- ilies have been in the United States for multi- ple generations. While these established Mexican Americans evaluate the costs and benefits from their perspective as Amer- ican citizens, their opin- ions are complicated by the fact that they trace their ethnic origins to Mexico, the country that sends the most immigrants to the United States. How do Mexican Americans view immigration from their ethnic homeland? I set out to answer this question using sixty in-depth interviews with established Mexican Americans in Garden City, beef-packing town in the southwest corner of Kansas, and sixty-three in-depth interviews with established Mexican Americans in Santa Maria, small agricultural city on the central coast of California. The interviews formed the data for larger project examining the ethnic identity of later-generation Mexican Americans (see Jimenez, forthcoming; Jimenez, 2008). The people I interviewed in both locations ranged in age from 15 to 98 and were mostly members of the blue-collar, white-collar, and professional middle classes. Their views about Mexican immigration, and their views on how it affects Mexican Americans in particular, depend great deal on their The tcrmgeneration generally refers to two related but different ideas. For social scientists of immigration, the term refers to birth cohort (group born during the same time period, usually twenty to twenty-five years) within family and is used to indicate where that group falls in relation to the family's initial immigrants-the first generation. Their offspring are the the third are the grandchildren of immigrants, and so on. Colloquially, most people use second understanding ofgeneration to refer to all people born during particular period of time. The historical events that define the lives of people born during perticular period of time inform well-known monikers: trie greatest generation, baby boomers, generation X. But social scientists more accurately define such groupings as birth cohorts. These temporal markers-generation and cohort- are important for understanding how Mexican Americans think about immigration from Mexico (see Jimenez and Fitzgerald, 2008). Though sociologists tend to focus on generation-smoe-immigration as the primary temporal marker of assimilation, I found the age of Mexican American correspondents- their birth cohort- also shapes how they see the costs and benefits of Mexican immigration. Birth cohort matters for how Mexican Americans view the costs and benefits of Mexican irnmigration because their views are informed by popular thinking about immigration, diversity, and ethnic identity that has changed dramatically in recent history. The middle and oldest cohorts I interviewed grew up during the reign of Americanization- a consciously articulated movement to strip the immigrant of his native culture and attachments and to make him over into an American along Anglo-Saxon lines (Gordon, 1964, p. …" @default.
