A few folks asked me to share the suggestions I got. Here is the list, in rough alphabetical order, of the suggestions I received from my inquiry. Many thanks to those who replied

Arlie Hochschild and Barbara Ehrenreich had a great anthology a few years back called Global Woman

Rachel Kurian also has some eye-opening research about the use of international au-pairs in western Europe ("The Globalization of Domestic Care Services").
Allison Weir has a number of incredible articles on this topic too ("The Global Universal Care Giver" and "Global Care Chains: Freedom, Responsibility, and Solidarity").
The documentary Dying to Leave, http://www.pbs.org/wnet/wideangle/episodes/dying-to-leave/introduction/924/
which relates the absence of job opportunities in the migrants' home countries to the situation of undocumented immigrants, human smuggling and trafficking. It shows the risks involved and helps to get students to see the issue from the perspective of the migrants. It is a bit dated - released in 2004 - and you will probably want to critique its presentation of the issue with them, but it tends to help students reframe the issue from "illegal immigrants are coming here and stealing our jobs" to seeing it as an international economic problem.

Dear FEAST,
Can anyone recommend an article/chapter on immigration and/or transnational labor that would be accessible to 100-level students? (This particular group of students are very much at the introductory level).
Feel free to reply off list to me at: [log in to unmask] Thanks!
