Title: "Undocumented Immigration & Crime in the United States: A Micro-Level Analysis"

Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between undocumented immigration and crime using data covering approximately 16,000 migrant hotel rooms during the New York City migrant housing crisis. I exploit the timing of migrant busing from the southern border as an exogenous source of variation in a difference-in-differences specification. I find that an additional 100 migrant shelter hotel rooms (per 100k Hispanics) are associated with 1.11 more Hispanic arrests (per 100k Hispanics) at the modified zip code-by-week level. The baseline results are driven by cash-generating offenses—such as petit and grand larceny—and hinge on access to informal construction hiring hubs.
