Fact Sheet
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.

Journal Article
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.

Fact Sheet
Evidence indicates that there are disparities in immigrants’ access to health care and health status compared to U.S.-born residents, in part due to immigration policies that determine access to public benefits or shape lives. This fact sheet examines data from the Research on Immigrant Health and State Policy Study (RIGHTS) on the perceptions of Latinx and Asian immigrants in California. RIGHTS is a follow-up survey of the 2018 and 2019 California Health Interview Surveys (CHIS).

Fact Sheet
Latinx and Asian immigrants, California’s two largest immigrant groups, face barriers to health care and experience worse health outcomes compared to U.S.-born Californians. This is in part due in part to restrictive immigration policies that permit local law enforcement (e.g., police, sheriffs) to collaborate with immigration enforcement authorities in the surveillance, policing, and deportation of noncitizens.

Journal Article
While a growing body of research has examined immigrants’ health generally, less is known specifically about the impact of immigration policy on the health of Chinese immigrants, the second-largest foreign-born population in the United States. This is due, in part, to the lack of methodologically well-trained, cross-cultural researchers who have both the cultural and linguistic expertise and health knowledge to engage with Chinese immigrant populations.

Journal Article
Criminalizing immigrant policies, a form of structural racism, are associated with preterm birth; however, to date, few population studies have examined this association by race and nativity status or examined the association of inclusive immigrant policies with preterm birth. Authors assess the extent to which variation in preterm birth by race/ethnicity and nativity status is associated with state-level criminalizing vs. inclusive immigrant policies.

Journal Article
Authors use a public health lens to discuss the Biden administration's opportunity to reshape immigration policy — and thus, immigrant health — by canceling anti-immigrant executive actions of the Trump era and avoiding political compromises of the Obama era.

Journal Article
In the last thirty years, major shifts in immigrant policy at national and state levels have heightened boundaries among citizens, permanent residents, and those with other statuses. While there is mounting evidence that citizenship influences immigrant health care inequities, there has been less focus on how policies that reinforce citizenship stratification may shape the extent of these inequities.
