Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: In this paper, we assess whether parental legal status at the time of initial migration and parental naturalization affect political participation among the young adult 1.5 and 2nd generation children of the immigrants. Our analysis is based on a recently completed telephone survey of 1.5 and 2nd generation young adults (aged 20 to 40) in the five county Los Angeles region – the Immigration and Intergenerational Mobility in Metropolitan Los Angeles (IIMMLA) survey. In the analysis presented in this paper, we focus exclusively on the Mexican and Salvadoran/Guatemalan 1.5 and 2nd generation respondents. We find that knowing whether a Mexican, Salvadoran, or Guatemalan 1.5 or 2nd generation immigrant had a parent who entered the United States in an unauthorized status or who naturalized does add to our understandings of the likelihood of that person participating in community or electoral politics. Immigration status at entrance and parental naturalization relate to participation in the range of community and civic activities for Mexicans (and weakly for Salvadorans/Guatemalans), and to the likelihood of registering to vote for Salvadorans/Guatemalans.
