Legal status disparities in preventive care usage among Latino immigrants in California
This paper examines disparities in preventive care utilization among Latino immigrants, differentiating between naturalized U.S. citizens, permanent residents, temporary status holders, and undocumented immigrants. We analyzed data from the 2015–2016 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), a cross-sectional, representative sample of California residents. Our sample consisted of 5,513 respondents who self-identified as foreign-born Latinos. We …
Disentangling the Consequences of Latino Immigrants’ Unauthorized Status for the Health of Their U.S.-Born Children
Immigrants’ legal status has been described as a social determinant of health that shapes health outcomes through multiple channels. Furthermore, legal status matters not only for immigrants themselves, but also for their family members, including their U.S.-born citizen children. Nonetheless, few studies have empirically disentangled the possible mediating mechanisms through which parents’ legal status shapes their children’s health. This paper …
Differentiated legality
All non-citizens face risk of deportation, but a variety of factors unequally stratify this risk. To capture the range of formally unequal statuses produced by migration control systems, we introduce the concept of “differentiated legality.” This paper applies this framework to analyze perceived deportation risk reported by 1,976 immigrants from a range of origin countries in the 2016–2017 Collaborative Multi-racial Post-election Survey. Findings…
Diverging pathways
Drawing on a unique, large-sample survey from France, Trajectories and Origins (TeO), this article provides an empirical assessment of the effects of migrants' initial legal status on socioeconomic attainment focusing on three outcomes: household income, neighbourhood disadvantage, and concentration in immigrant neighbourhoods. Legal status effects are identified using a twofold strategy. First, our data comprise an exceptionally rich set of info…
When fear spreads
What shapes Latino immigrants’ worries surrounding deportation? Using five waves of the Latino National Survey, we examine this question by considering immigrants’ own legal status, their social background and the legal vulnerability of their national origin group. We find that while individual legal vulnerability heightens deportation worries, social and group markers also have independent and intersecting associations with immigrants’ worries. …
Unequal Ties
Social capital (SC) plays a fundamental role in immigration by easing entry into a new environment. We advance a novel approach to assessing the role of SC for immigrants’ labor market incorporation. First, we isolate the impact of SC activation from the mere presence of potential help. Second, we disentangle the diverse components of migration-related SC by distinguishing between individual migration- (IM) and community migration-level (CM) conn…
Legal Exclusion, Civic Exclusion
Unlike many other sociopolitical activities in the United States, civic engagement is not restricted by legal status and is often the initial and primary form of political action available to immigrants. Few studies, however, have disaggregated the impact of legal status on immigrants’ civic participation, despite civic engagement’s significance for immigrant incorporation and despite growing evidence of the stratifying effects of legal categorie…
