项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project aims to understand how state and county immigration enforcement laws affect the health of undocumented immigrants (defined as individuals born outside the U.S. and not authorized to reside or work in the U.S.) and their children. Our focus will be on three sets of laws that vary over time and across states: 1) E- Verify mandates that require employers in an area to verify a prospective employee's work authorization using a national electronic system; 2) laws that regulate undocumented immigrants' access to driver's licenses; and, 3) laws that authorize local law enforcement agencies to check individuals' citizenship status and set in motion deportation proceedings. These laws are likely to increase environmental demands and/or reduce coping resources among undocumented immigrants and their families and therefore are likely to heighten acculturation stress and its negative health consequences. We test this proposition using 16 years of data (1998-2013) from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), an annual, cross-sectional household survey that adopts a nationally representative multistage probably sampling design. We will test whether the enactment of a given immigration enforcement law affects physical health, mental health, and access to health care for likely undocumented immigrants (identified through a proxy measure) and their children. Using regression analysis, we will compare geographic and temporal trends in health among a "treatment" population of likely undocumented immigrants who should be impacted by the relevant policies and a "control" population of comparable native-born whites before and after the enactment of each law. Additionally, we will assess whether the size of the local co-ethnic immigrant population moderates policy-health relationships for likely undocumented immigrants and their children, and we will explore whether restrictive immigration laws have unintended negative effects on the health of individuals who may be perceived to be undocumented immigrants (e.g., native-born Mexican Americans).

描述(由申请者提供)：该项目旨在了解州和县移民执法法律如何影响非法移民(定义为在美国境外出生、未获授权在美国居住或工作的个人)的健康。和他们的孩子。我们的重点将放在三套法律上，这些法律随着时间的推移和各州的不同而有所不同：1)电子验证命令，要求某个地区的雇主使用国家电子系统验证未来雇员的工作授权；2)管理非法移民获得驾照的法律；3)授权当地执法机构检查个人公民身份并启动驱逐程序的法律。这些法律可能会增加无证移民及其家人的环境需求和/或减少应对资源，因此可能会加剧文化适应压力及其对健康的负面影响。我们使用国家健康访谈调查(NHIS)16年(1998-2013年)的数据来检验这一命题，NHIS是一项年度横断面家庭调查，采用了具有全国代表性的多阶段可能抽样设计。我们将测试特定移民执法法的颁布是否会影响可能的非法移民(通过代理措施确定)及其子女的身体健康、心理健康和获得医疗保健的机会。使用回归分析，我们将比较在每项法律颁布前后，应该受到相关政策影响的可能的非法移民的“治疗”人群和可比的本地出生的白人的“对照”人口之间的地理和时间健康趋势。此外，我们将评估当地同族移民人口的规模是否会缓和可能的无证移民及其子女的政策-健康关系，并将探讨限制性移民法是否会对可能被视为无证移民的个人(例如，土生土长的墨西哥裔美国人)的健康产生意想不到的负面影响。
