This study uses 1990 Census data to examine inter-metropolitan area migration of Mexicans and Chinese in the United States. The goal of the research is to explore the relationship between secondary migration and the assimilation experiences of members of recent immigrant groups through the investigation of group movement patterns and the examination of their affecting factors at individual level. The analyses of this study are carried out at both macro and micro levels.

520 $a This study uses 1990 Census data to examine inter-metropolitan area migration of Mexicans and Chinese in the United States. The goal of the research is to explore the relationship between secondary migration and the assimilation experiences of members of recent immigrant groups through the investigation of group movement patterns and the examination of their affecting factors at individual level. The analyses of this study are carried out at both macro and micro levels.
520 $a At macro level, I examine three general patterns of secondary migration. I present average contextual mobility patterns of secondary migration through compilation and comparison of the general social and economic profiles of migration origins and destinations. I identify the centers of migration activities, which overlap considerably with the geographical concentrations of the co-ethnic group populations, and demonstrate that there are significant differences between secondary migrations involving these centers and the rest of the metro areas. I introduce the concept of "Reciprocal Flow," and demonstrate that there are different contextual changes associated with the participations of the component flows.
520 $a At micro level, I examine the probabilities of the participation in secondary migration as well as the associations between contextual migration mobility and individual attributes. It is hypothesized that migration is in general a privileged action that favors the ethnic group members with more advanced social and economic achievements. According to the mobility consequences, the secondary migration activities can be theoretically categorized as: ethnic consolidation/dispersion migration, ethnic niche employment migration, and residential mobility migration. Specific empirical hypotheses are tested with logistic models. The results reveal that, indeed, the participation of secondary migration is generally predicted by more favorable individual attributes. The results also demonstrate that there is a significant relationship between the mobility consequences of secondary migration and individual attributes. Some of the indicators have a powerful presence in the predictions of many aspects of migration mobility, while others exert unique influence to specific models. Despite the distinctive population makeup and different general socioeconomic status, the Mexicans and the Chinese demonstrate similar patterns in most analyses with few exceptions.
