Latino/a children are the largest and fastest-growing minority group under 18 years of age. Furthermore, a large proportion of these children are growing up in immigrant families. The combination of minority and immigrant status magnifies issues of health and well-being for this group, making them particularly vulnerable to health disparities. Yet, the factors that contribute to the positive health development of Latino/a children and their families are not well known.  The literature on the social determents of health has focused on the environmental and neighborhood effects on health.  Little attention, however, has focused on the impacts that hostile social-political climate has on Latino/a health. This manuscript examines how anti-immigrant policies affect the physical and mental health of Latino/as.  Merging two unique datasets: sum of anti-immigrant policies by state and, a Robert W. Johnson Center for Health Policy nationally representative sample of Latinos, we estimate a series of ordered logistic and logistic regressions to understand how anti-immigrant legislations are affecting the health of Latinos.  Our modeling approach takes into consideration the socio-political, familial, cultural, and personal contexts that make up the Latina/o experience which is widely overlooked in datasets that treat Latinos as a homogenous ethnic group.  Preliminary findings suggest that for each additional anti-immigrant law enacted, the probability of reporting good health decreases by 2 percent, holding all else constant.  Regarding the racial factors that are important when studying Latinos, we find that dark skinned U.S. citizens report worse health than light skinned non-citizens, a finding that is yet to be discussed in the literature.  The implication and significance of this work has tremendous impacts for policy makers, health service providers and researchers interested in reducing health disparities among minority populations.
