“…In this particular case, the result could be due to a sense of linked fate with immigrants, as “Henry Fernandez and Jennifer Jones explain…, ‘Black people know what it's like to have their communities terrorized, to feel fear when pulled over by police, and to fight to keep their families together’” (Alexander, 2020, p. xliii–xliv), leading to a sense of empathy toward immigrants. Additionally, Carter and King‐Meadows's (2019) recent work has shown a dual consciousness in Black public opinion about immigration: while Black people may worry about immigrants, they do not want to see them suffer through deportation, for instance.…”

Some politicians employ harsh rhetoric demanding that government deny public services such as food, housing, and medical care to immigrants. While nonprofits assist immigrants in this regard, their work is sustainable only if private donors support them. Using a survey experiment, this article examines whether donors' willingness to support a charity depends on the legal status of its beneficiaries, and the region from which they have come. We find that, in relation to a charity that serves low‐income families (control group), donors are less willing to support a charity serving immigrants, but the region from which beneficiaries emigrated is irrelevant. Donor willingness diminishes substantially when beneficiaries are undocumented or face deportation. While shared ethnicity between donors and beneficiaries does not increase charitable support, bilingualism does. In addition, support for the charity rises substantially among Latinx donors who were born outside the US and do not speak English at home.

“…The budding research on sexism and racism in the 2016 election finds a positive association between racial resentment and vote choice for Trump among white women (Frasure-Yokley 2018; Tien 2017). Moreover, support for Trump was rooted in racial resentment, negative views toward immigration, and hostile sexism rather than economic class or anxiety (Bock, Byrd-Craven, and Burkley 2017; Carter and King-Meadows 2019; Cassese and Barnes 2019; Cassese and Holman 2019; Frasure-Yokley 2018; Junn 2017; Tien 2017).…”

What did Native American women and men voters think about Donald Trump on the eve of the 2018 election? This question has important implications for understanding the gendered political attitudes of peoples adversely targeted by Trump’s politics. To examine this issue, we analyze a path-breaking, nationally representative sample of six hundred Native American voters. We find that Native Americans’ attitudes about sexual harassment are central to their attitudes about politics and policy in the Trump era. This relationship suggests that Native American voters are an informed electorate influenced by the president’s words and actions. Our work demonstrates multiple ways that gender influenced Native American politics during an election where gender and racial identities were central. In so doing, our work illuminates how race, institutions, and vulnerability affect the political attitudes of Native American voters, one of the least studied groups in American politics.

“…The role of racial/ethnic identity specifically regarding undocumented immigration reform remain understudied (but see Carter and King-Meadows 2019;Frasure-Yokley and Greene 2013;Morris 2000;Nteta 2013Nteta , 2014Smith 2017;Smith and Greer 2018). African Americans, for example, have been relatively positive toward immigration when compared with other racial groups (Jones 2014).…”

This article examines the extent to which economic attitudes, political predispositions, neighborhood context, and socio-demographic factors influence views toward adult, undocumented immigrants living and working in the United States. We specifically examine how these factors differ for respondents living in various types of American urban, suburban, and rural areas. Arguably, in the aftermath of the 2016 Presidential election, public opinion toward often racialized immigration policy proposals is incomplete without an understanding of the role of place and geographic identity. In the 2016 general election, 62 percent of rural voters cast a ballot for Trump, as compared with 50 percent of suburban voters, and 35 percent of urban voters. However, we know little about how their views toward undocumented immigration, a persistent hot-button issue, varied by geographic type. Our findings suggest that views toward undocumented immigrants currently living and working in the United States are conditioned by factors related to a respondent’s geographic type. We find that attitudes toward immigrants vary considerably across place. These findings provide support to our argument about the development of a geographic-based identity that has considerable impact on important public opinion attitudes, even after controlling for more traditional explanatory factors.
