<p>The United States of America has a long history of discriminatory immigration and refugee policies that have resulted in disparities of health, education, employment and wages for many.&nbsp; This official discrimination is reflected in the personal prejudice of many U.S. Americans.&nbsp; In this study, we compare the social distance that participants desire from immigrants by randomly assigning participants (<em>N</em> = 616) a fictional vignette that alters the nation of origin (England, India, Syria), gender (man, woman) and occupation (doctor, teacher, janitor) of an immigrant.&nbsp; Participants demonstrated a preference for professional immigrants, women immigrants, and immigrants from England while controlling for age, though there were no significant interaction effects.&nbsp; These findings imply that U.S. American’s attitudes about immigrants and immigration are not objective.&nbsp; We believe that these prejudicial attitudes are reflected in policy and law, suggesting a need to construct processes to protect such policies from subjective and prejudicial attitudes.</p><br/>The following message is being delivered on behalf of Interamerican Journal of Psychology.
