Abstract
The relationship between geographic mobility, kinship ties and social status is examined in this article using data for a sample of 820 Mexican immigrants aged 18–60 who were interviewed upon legal entry to the U.S. in late 1973–74 and reinterviewed three years later. An attempt is made to determine whether and how the maintenance of kinship ties influences the integration of immigrants during the period immediately following emigration.
