	abstract={Empirical studies in the migration literature have shown that migration enclaves (networks)
negatively affect the language proficiency of migrants. These studies, however, ignore the
choice of location as a function of language skills. Using data on Mexican migration to the
US, we show that migrants choose smaller networks as their English language proficiency
improves.
