Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Over the last decade, there has been a great deal of scholarly interest and research on transnational politics—political engagement of immigrants and their children in their countries of origin or ancestry. Community-focused ethnographies of Latino immigrants have demonstrated that some emigrants are engaging the politics of their communities of origin. The experiences of these migrants have come at a time when Latin American immigrant-sending countries have invested extensively in creating opportunities for emigrants to maintain cultural and political ties with their countries of origin. Mexico’s offer of Mexican nationality to its émigrés is an example of this new international relationship that facilitates some forms of transnational politics. This paper examines the political consequences of transnationalism for the United States and what it means for immigrant political adaptation and naturalization in the United States. I measure the consequences of involvement in sending country community affairs and politics on immigrant political attachment, U.S. organizational membership, and naturalization in the United States. I tap a survey of 1,602 Latino immigrants/migrants from Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and El Salvador conducted by the Tomás Rivera Policy Institute (TRPI) in 2002. This survey offers a rich battery of measures of immigrant/migrant political and community engagement both before their migration (for adults) and since their migration.
