“…Six dichotomous race/ethnicity categories (i.e., Black/ African American, South Asian, East Asian, Black/White Latinx, White, and Other) were included in the analyses. The "white" racial category was used as the reference category in analysis as we hypothesized this group to be least likely to experience discrimination and/ or policy stress based on previous examination of this dataset (Rai et al, 2023).…”

Under the Trump administration, many immigrants struggled with exclusionary policies that created a climate of fear and uncertainty. Our aim was to investigate which immigrants may be more vulnerable for experiencing policy stress and discrimination during this time period. Employing a cross-sectional design, we recruited U.S. immigrants ( N = 490) to complete an online survey assessing experiences of policy-related stress and discrimination. Multiple regression results showed significant models for both outcome variables, with several vulnerabilities emerging. For policy stress, immigrants who were younger, non-white, and who lived in a household with a lower annual income were more vulnerable. Participants who were second-generation immigrants, younger, male, and non-white reported higher perceived discrimination. Findings suggest that the stress associated with policies and experiences of discrimination varied within the immigrant community, and implications for practice and policy work are discussed.
