Notes: Robust standard errors in brackets. Controls include adult gender, age, age squared and the education level of the respondent. Regressions also include time propensity distress values and county fixed effects. The first subsample includes but is not restricted to undocumented immigrant Latinxs. The second subsample is composed of foreign-born Latinxs who are naturalized citizens or legal, permanent residents.
