Abstract: This year the American Society of Hispanic Economists turned 17 years old since its creation, with ten years as an AEA recognized organization. I am happy to say that today ASHE has become an incredibly supportive professional family for all its members and a source of thoughtful mentorship resources for many young scholars. My strong wish is to maintain that role and to expand our impact through those who have been long part of the organization, the incoming new members, and the new cohort of young Hispanic economists wishing to make changes. As we reflect through this year’s events that have besieged the Hispanic/Latino community in the U.S., we, professionals, stop to ask ourselves how our work sheds light on the issues that matter and the possible solutions that would benefit the community and the nation. In this HEO edition of the Hispanic Economic Outlook, you will find different researchers exploring and presenting different perspectives on the issues affecting the Hispanic community in the U.S. In our first article, Sandra Orozco-Aleman presents a summary of her co-authored work with Heriberto Gonzalez-Lozano on crime immigration enforcement and migration in Mexico. They find that drug-related violent crime and the U.S. internal push on immigration enforcement have shaped the composition of Mexican migration into the U.S. by increasing the cost of internal migration within Mexico and the passing through the border. As these trends and migrant compositions are changing, and with the foreseeable increase of immigration enforcement, there is a need to understand further how these changes will impact the national Hispanic community.
