Abstract: Tougher immigration enforcement was responsible for 1.8 million deportations between 2009 and 2013 alone. We exploit the geographic and temporal variation in intensified enforcement to gauge its impact on children’s propensity to live without their parents, or in households headed by single mothers with absentee spouses. Given the negative consequences of being raised without parents or in a single-headed household and the parallel increase in immigration enforcement in the United States, gaining a better understanding of the collateral damage of heightened enforcement on the families to which these children belong is well warranted.
