NURTURING NATURALIZATION: REACHING THE HARD TO NATURALIZE
MANUEL PASTOR @Prof_MPastor
Please do not cite or quote without permission
PROFILING THE HARD TO NATURALIZE
Fostering citizenship is a public good for both economy & civic engagement
Previous research says the high naturalization fee was one key impediment
But that is not the only factor and we need detailed profiles on eligible LPRs to determine key strategies
Why do the analysis?

Methodology:
Used 2010-2014 American Community Survey (IPUMS version)
In approach similar to Migration Policy Institute, utilized certain key “logical” conditions as well as probability estimates derived from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to identify the undocumented
DEFINING THE ELIGIBLE TO NATURALIZE
Then calibrated count of undocumented with estimates from Office of Immigration Statistics (OIS), Pew, & MPI –the remainder are Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs)

DEFINING THE ELIGIBLE TO NATURALIZE
Table 1. Years of Eligibility for Eligible to Naturalize Population
Applying the residency restrictions (five years, three if married to a U.S. citizen), we obtain a total of eligible to naturalize (8.80 million) that matches aggregate OIS estimates (8.79 million) as well as various distributions by: years of eligibility

DEFINING THE ELIGIBLE TO NATURALIZE
But because we are using the 2010-2014 American Community Survey, we can estimate individual characteristics of the eligible to naturalize
And we can also drive down to lower geographic scales, including sub-county level known as PUMA (Public Use Microdata Area)
http://dornsife.usc.edu/CSII
DEFINING THE ELIGIBLE TO NATURALIZE
We will be comparing the naturalization choice in two key ways:
Stock analysis: those who naturalized as adults and those adults who have not yet naturalized
Flow analysis: those who were eligible to naturalize over the last year and did so, and those who were eligible to naturalize last year and did not

DOES INCOME MATTER?
To answer this question, we need to shift to a flow analysis – in any given year, who chooses to naturalize versus who does not naturalize
Why a flow analysis? Because while certain factors do not change after naturalization (like whether you’re Mexican), some variables like income do
http://dornsife.usc.edu/CSII
DOES INCOME MATTER?
Research has demonstrated that naturalization can improve incomes – there’s a “citizen gain”
Impact on earnings from attaining citizenship falls somewhere between 8percent and 11 percent
Boost in earnings associated with naturalization, with additional gains over subsequent years

To answer this question, we need to shift to a flow analysis – in any given year, who chooses to naturalize versus who does not naturalize
So to avoid spurious relationship, we have to look at those who recently naturalized against the stock of those who were eligible but did not

NATURALIZATION: BARRIERS & MOTIVATIONS
So what do surveys say?
Barriers
Primary
Limited English proficiency
Financial costs
Other:
Misinformation (unaware of fee waivers or T.A.)
Criminal convictions

NATURALIZATION: ADDITIONAL BARRIERS
Economic, political, social, cultural and geographical conditions in the country of origin and community environment that they encounter in the U.S.
Inability or difficulty to obtain dual citizenship (or other ties to home country)
Urban concentration, isolation, and segregation
Local context of immigrant reception
http://dornsife.usc.edu/CSII
NATURALIZATION: MOTIVATIONS
Motivators (non-economic)
Primary: Civil & legal rights
Every poll lists immigrants desire to vote as key
Newly naturalized Latino respondents demonstrated a high propensity to vote (Ramirez et al, 2010)
67.2% of those who had been granted citizenship have voted at least once
84.2% of those who had been granted citizenship had registered to vote
Heated anti-immigrant political contexts (Levin 2013; Ramirez et al 2010) and migrating for political reasons are more likely to vote (Gershon and Patonja 2014)

(This webinar handout is for informational purposes only. Please do not cite or use these PowerPoint slides without permission from CSII. Thank you.) 16
NATURALIZATION: MOTIVATIONS
Motivators
Primary: Sense of belonging and access to information
Concentrations of naturalized immigrants help un-naturalized access information about benefits and procedures of naturalizing (Abascal, 2015)
Other reasons for naturalizing: viewing US as a home (12%), sense of identity as American or love for the US (18%) (Gonzalez-Barrera el al, 2013)
Primary: Family
Primary family related reasons for naturalizing include: sponsoring a family member (3%), for their family or children (no specific reason) (2%) (Gonzalez-Barrera el al, 2013)
http://dornsife.usc.edu/CSII
NATURALIZATION: DEVELOPING INCENTIVES
Incentives – the “thing” that motivates
Tangible benefits/rewards (more constant)
Comes from the outside/external (given by those in power)
Motivation comes from yourself – internal (more likely to vary, less concrete, and depends on the context)

Right to live in the United States

How we measure it?
Eligible-to-naturalize adults divided by the voting-eligible population – or Citizen Voting Age Population (CVAP)
In other words…

WHAT ARE THE TAKEAWAYS?
Try to catch people early(before the 5 year mark)
Cost remains an issue but English fluency is important
Engage the entire family and community
Focus where people are (use the maps!)
Target the Mexican-originpopulation
Civic engagement is a big motivator for naturalizing
