	abstract = {Migrants to the United States are a diverse population. This diversity, captured in various\&nbsp;migration theories, is overlooked in empirical applications that describe a typical narrative for an\&nbsp;average migrant. Using the Mexican Migration Project data from about 17,000 first-time\&nbsp;migrants between 1970 and 2000, this study employs cluster analysis to identify four types of\&nbsp;migrants with distinct configurations of characteristics. Each migrant type corresponds to a\&nbsp;specific theoretical account, and becomes prevalent in a specific period, depending on the\&nbsp;economic, social and political conditions. Strikingly, each migrant type also becomes prevalent\&nbsp;around the period in which its corresponding theory is developed.},
