Researchers conducted the RIGHTS Study, developing a population-based survey of Asian and Latinx immigrants in California that measured 23 exclusionary experiences under health care and social services, education, labor/employment, and immigration enforcement policies.

This study examines the relationship between both cumulative and individual measures of employment exclusion and self-rated health and psychological distress among Asian and Latino immigrants in California, and whether this relationship is modified by legal status. The authors used data from the RIGHTS study.

This study examine how legal status and past undocumented status are associated with health care access and health outcomes. Researchers assess associations between past and current legal status and usual source of care, delayed medical care and psychological distress.

The Latino health paradox is the phenomenon whereby recent Latino immigrants have, on average, better health outcomes on some indicators than Latino immigrants who have lived in the United States longer and U.S.-born Latinos and non-Latino whites. This study examined whether the paradox holds after accounting for health care access and utilization.

Immigration enforcement policies are associated with immigrants' barriers to health care. Current evidence suggests that enforcement creates a "chilling effect" in which immigrants avoid care due to fear of encountering enforcement.

Although exclusionary immigration policies are associated with fear of deportation and avoidance of public benefits, relationships between immigration enforcement policy and public charge policies are largely unknown. Authors tested the relationship between immigrants' experiences with law enforcement and their concern about public charge.

The Structural Impacts of Enforcement Policy on Latino Immigrant Health (Frontiers in Public Health)
As evidence of the negative health impact of immigration enforcement policy continues to mount, public health research has focused primarily on the psychosocial health mechanisms, such as fear and stress, by which immigration enforcement may harm health.

In this study, authors quantify undocumented immigrants' lifetime exposure to various immigration enforcement tactics and their association with delays in COVID-19 testing and healthcare behaviors. This cross-sectional study included a nonrandom sample of 326 Asian and Latinx undocumented immigrants in California from September 2020 to February 2021.

Little is known about how one’s undocumented status influences employment exclusions or workplace violations. In this fact sheet, authors present data on employment exclusions and violations in the workplace among immigrants with a history of having been undocumented.

While immigrants in the U.S. suffer poor access to health care in general, access within immigrant populations varies notably by legal status and employment. Intersections between immigration, employment, and health care policy have shaped immigrants' access or exclusion from health care; however, little research has examined how immigrants experience and navigate these intersections.
