Abstract

International migrants are agents of democratic diffusion. They spread attitudes and behaviors absorbed in democratic host countries to their less democratic home countries by way of three processes: (a) migrant returns, (b) cross-border communication between migrants still abroad and their friends and family back home, and (c) migrant information networks in high-volume migration-producing communities. Marshaling data from an original June 2006 national survey in Mexico, the authors show that through one or another of these processes, migration alters the political participation and behavior of Mexicans living in Mexico.

1. This may be true of individuals, even if it is not true of countries; countries that backslide to authoritarianism mostly do so because interest-based elite interaction undermines weak institutional foundations for democracy, not because individual citizens sour on democracy (Przeworski, 1992).
2.
2. To avoid possible item nonresponse bias, we imputed missing values for the tolerance variable as well as for income, satisfaction with democracy, and self-reported probability of voting, using regression predictions (as implemented in Stata’s impute routine).
3.
3. There is no theoretical reason to think that Mexicans who live in the United States (or know someone who does) would be more likely to vote. The low voter turnout rates in the United States make it a terrible place to learn voting behavior. Moreover, migrants—even those in the United States legally—are prohibited from voting until they become U.S. citizens.
