“…In addition, the findings add one more data point to work on the determinants of international migration in Latin America (see Massey andLastra, 2011 or Massey et al, 2014 for examples). Blanchard et al (2011) conclude that Honduran migrants, both in the US and deportees, possess unique characteristics compared to their Central American peers. A better understanding of the country's migration context will enrich the wider body of literature on the region.…”

Quantitative evidence on the drivers of undocumented migration from Honduras is limited. As a result, policy responses have been reactionary and understudied. Migration flows from the country are distinct from the rest of the region and merit study. By implementing different survey instruments, including focus groups, in‐depth interviews and a nationally representative survey, we build the first nationally representative data‐set on migrant attitudes in the country. Our results show that the propensity to migrate of individuals living in low‐income households is inversely related to human capital accumulation and access to basic services. Similarly, variables linked to networks in the destination country are positively correlated with the propensity to migrate. The prevalence of violence in areas where potential migrants live is unrelated to their migration decisions. This indicates that the focus of migration policy should rest in improving material conditions.

“…Mental health studies suggest that re-assimilation, in the various forms it takes, can itself be a traumatic process rather than a simple solution to the traumas of deportation (von Werthern et al, 2018). Although not always the case, return migrants often face high levels of stigma after their return to their countries of origin as they are sometimes seen by their communities or their own families as failures and as criminals (Blanchard et al, 2011). They may also have to…”

One-fourth of deportees from the United States are parents of US-citizen children. We do not know how separation from families affects remigration among deportees, who face high penalties given unlawful reentry. We examined how family separation affects intent to remigrate among Salvadoran deportees. The majority of deportees with children in the United States were also separated from their spouse, and the vast majority had US-citizen children. Family separation was the single most important factor affecting intent to remigrate. We interpret these findings in light of immigration policy debates.
