Fallouts of Deportations in Texas: Analyzing the impact of large-scale workplace raids on academic performance
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Workplace raids are one of the most visible and traumatic immigration enforcement tactics taken by ICE; they can result in the detention of hundreds of immigrants at one time, sending shocks through the community and leaving children suddenly without their family. Despite the humanitarian concerns surrounding these raids and their impact on the well-being of children, there is a limited amount of research on the topic. Using test scores from schools in proximity to a raid taking place in Allen, TX, I employ a series of quasi-experimental designs to determine the effects of the raid on Hispanic students' academic outcomes. I conduct two difference-in-differences analyses and a difference-in-difference-in-differences analysis using distinct control groups. I find statistically significant evidence that the raids negatively impacted Hispanic students’ performance on the Texas STAAR testing for both reading and math. Additionally, I find that schools closer to the raid experienced a larger drop in scores.
