The first source I am going to summarize and briefly analyze is an article in The Policy Studies Journal titled, "Policy Climates, Enforcement Rates, and MigrantBehavior: Is Self-Deportation a ViableImmigration Policy?"
What is its purpose?
The purpose of this study was to try to answer whether or not higher enforcement rates and practices caused changes to migrant behaviors and whether self-deportation is a reasonable policy.Many policymakers focus on enforcement as the solution to address problems with undocumented immigrants. However, this study discovered that high rates of enforcement are unlikely to encourage undocumented immigrants to self-deport but rather to move from high enforcement cities and states.
Where was it published?

What kind of sources are cited?
The vast majority of the 50+ sources cited are scholarly journals and articles from a wide range of topics such as; agriculture, labor, crime, economics, etc. There are also a few newspaper and documentaries that are cited,
Who is the author?
Rene R. Rocha, Daniel P. Hawes, Alisa Hicklin Fryar, and Robert D. Wrinkle. All of the authors are either associate professors of professors in the Political Science fields at various universities across the U.S.
Who is its intended audience?
I would say that people who also work in the academic field are the intended audiences because it breaks down the research question they pose in a very analytical and scientific way that not everyone would be able to follow along.
