“…While having DACA protections alone was not statistically associated with mental health symptoms in our sample, the remaining dimensions of legal vulnerability -discrimination, social exclusion, threat to the family, and financial strain -were key predictors of both anxiety and depression. Extant literature shows higher levels of discrimination, social exclusion, and threat of family seperation are associated with increased levels of both anxiety and depressive symptomalogy (Alvarez-Galvez & Rojas-Garcia, 2019;Ayón, 2020;LeBrón & Viruell-Fuentes, 2020;Ward et al, 2019). Experiences of discrimination can lead to adverse mental health effects across different racial groups, and discrimination has been shown to be a crucial factor in explaining the high burden of depressive symptoms among Latinos, especially those with higher education (Ward et al, 2019).…”

“…Women in our study reported higher anxiety symptomatology compared to their male counterparts. Additionally, women, in general, experience more and different types of discrimination, which could predispose them to increased psychological distress (LeBrón & Viruell-Fuentes, 2020;Ward et al, 2019). Previous studies have attributed gender differences in part to differences in perceptions of acculturative stress (Lorenzo-Blanco & Cortina, 2013;Yoon et al, 2013).…”

“…For day laborers, punitive immigration policies, increased enforcement actions, and negative stigmatization of immigrants increase susceptibility to adverse mental health outcomes. These factors also shape access to psychosocial and institutional resources that can be used to mitigate the effects of discrimination and anticipatory threats [ 25 , 26 ].

“…It is problematic to generalize the health advantages of Latinx immigrants to all Latinx persons if we do not consider other factors and examine chronic disease and mental health outcomes. Moreover, the Latinx population has been administratively and politically constructed to be the only ethnic group in the U.S. Census (54). Despite the imposition of this ethnic administrative category, persons who self-identify or are perceived as Mexicanorigin or Latinx do experience racism and racial discrimination in multiple domains of U.S. society and in their countries of origin, especially if they are Latin Americans that phenotypically present as Black or one of many indigenous groups.…”
