Immigration concerns and social program avoidance: The roles of legal status and family composition among asian and latino communities

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The far-reaching consequences of anti-immigrant policies on noncitizen individuals and their families, including U.S. citizens, may lead to disparities in access to social assistance programs that may exacerbate health disparities. Further, our findings suggest that immigrants' cross-status ties to U.S. citizen family members may be protective against the harmful effects of anti-immigrant policies.
