This study uses multinomial logistic regression to compare the primary and repeat migration of Mexicans with Hispanics of other national origins. Repeat migration is broken into three categories for the multinomial analysis. In our basic model Mexicans are much more likely to make return migrations than are other Hispanics but these differences are reduced to non-significance when socioeconomic factors and duration of residence are included in Model 4. Mexicans and other Hispanics who have never migrated are equally likely to make a primary migration.
