A survey was conducted to learn more about the population of immigrant amnesty applicants in California, which comprises 55% of the population nationwide applying for legalization through the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. Findings are reported separately, in most cases, for immigrants who have resided in the United States since before 1982 and for special agricultural workers, because of demographic differences between the groups. Data reported include the following: (1) demographic profiles of the applicants, including age, immigration patterns, marital status and household composition, and housing costs; (2) patterns of application for legalization, status of legalization, citizenship intention, and family members' status; (3) education and English language proficiency as they relate to legalization requirements, including language test scores, class attendance patterns, child care during attendance, language use outside of the home, and sources of educational services; (4) employment patterns and occupations; (5) health information, including self-reported health status, injuries and disabilities, exercise patterns, height and weight statistics, health insurance coverage, access to and use of physician, dentist, and other health care services; and (6) use or non-use of selected government programs.
