摘要

In the United States, anti-immigrant policy enforcement has been associated with adverse mental health outcomes among immigrants. The first administration of the Trump presidency produced sweeping changes to the U.S. immigration system. Yet, the voices of undocumented Latino immigrant men, some of the most prominent targets of the Trump administration, have been largely unexplored. Through eight qualitative focus groups (N = 37) spanning across 3 years, this study documents the evolving experiences of immigrant Latino day laborers through the first Trump presidential campaign, election, and presidency. Using longitudinal qualitative analytical strategies, we document how changes in immigration rhetoric and enforcement practices shaped participants’ perceptions of safety, belonging, and psychological well-being over time. By centering the lived experiences of undocumented Latino immigrant men, this study contributes to scholarship on immigration policy as a social determinant of health by identifying potentially activating sociopolitical incidents and their sociological and psychological manifestations among an underreported and underserved group of men. As the second Trump presidential administration ratches up unprecedented immigration enforcement policies, findings can help inform critical programs designed to mitigate psychosocial harm and promote the development of more humane policies.
