自2000年代中期以来，驱逐出境在美国变得越来越普遍。拉丁美洲的非公民，包括无证和有证移民，是驱逐出境的目标。驱逐出境的威胁也触及入籍和在美国出生的拉丁裔公民，他们在很大程度上不受驱逐出境的影响，但他们的亲人或社区是可以被驱逐出境的。本文利用全国拉丁美洲人调查的6年数据，研究了拉丁美洲人对驱逐出境的恐惧是否以及如何因公民身份和法律的地位而异。与拉丁裔非公民相比，拉丁裔美国公民报告的平均驱逐恐惧较低。然而，随着时间的推移，当研究这种分歧时，一个更复杂的故事出现了：驱逐出境的恐惧在拉丁美洲非公民中很高，但稳定，而驱逐出境的恐惧在拉丁美洲美国公民中大幅增加。这些趋势反映了自2016年美国总统大选以来，国民对驱逐政策和做法的认识日益提高，而不是明显的变化。这篇文章强调了驱逐出境或其后果如何影响美国移民制度不成比例地针对的种族群体。
Deportation has become more commonplace in the United States since the mid-2000s. Latin American noncitizens-encompassing undocumented and documented immigrants-are targeted for deportation. Deportation's threat also reaches naturalized and US-born citizens of Latino descent who are largely immune to deportation but whose loved ones or communities are deportable. Drawing on 6 y of data from the National Survey of Latinos, this article examines whether and how Latinos' deportation fears vary by citizenship and legal status and over time. Compared with Latino noncitizens, Latino US citizens report lower average deportation fears. However, a more complex story emerges when examining this divide over time: Deportation fears are high but stable among Latino noncitizens, whereas deportation fears have increased substantially among Latino US citizens. These trends retied a growing national awareness of-rather than observable changes to-deportation policy and practice since the 2016 US presidential election. The article highlights how deportation or its consequences affects a racial group that the US immigration regime targets disproportionately.
