On the basis of a logistic regression</p><p>analysis, the study shows that those most vulnerable to risk or aggressions are</p><p>first-time migrants who hire the services of human smugglers. Furthermore, mi-<br />grants who were previously exposed to the risk of death or whose belongings were</p><p>confiscated and never returned are less likely to engage in subsequent migration</p><p>attempts. Finally, being a victim of physical or verbal abuse at the hands of U.S.</p><p>Border Patrol agents is unrelated to future migration intentions.</p>}, number={26}, journal={Migraciones Internacionales}, author={Orraca Romano, Pedro Paulo and Corona Villavicencio, Francisco de Jesús}, year={2017}, month={abr.}, pages={9–42} }
