<p>Abstract</p>
<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>

<p>Resumen</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Los Estados Unidos de América tiene una larga historia de políticas discriminatorias sobre la inmigración y los refugiados, lo que ha dado lugar a disparidades de salud, educación, empleo y salarios para muchos inmigrantes y refugiados. Esta discriminación oficial se refleja en el prejuicio personal de muchos estadounidenses. En este estudio, comparamos la distancia social que los participantes desean de los inmigrantes. Asignamos aleatoriamente una viñeta ficticia a los participantes (N = 616). Las viñetas alteran en la nación de origen (Inglaterra, India, Siria), género (hombre, mujer) y ocupación (doctor, maestro, custodio) de los inmigrantes. Los participantes demostraron una preferencia para los inmigrantes quienes sean profesionales, mujeres y de Inglaterra mientras que controlábamos por edad, aunque no hubo efectos significativos de interacción. Estos datos implican que las actitudes de los estadounidenses sobre los inmigrantes y la inmigración no son objetivos. Creemos que estas actitudes prejuiciosas se reflejan en las políticas y leyes, lo que sugiere la necesidad de construir procesos para proteger tales políticas de actitudes subjetivas y perjudiciales.</p>
<p><em>Palabras claves:</em> actitudes de inmigración; refugiados; género; identidad; inmigrantes</p><br/>The following message is being delivered on behalf of Interamerican Journal of Psychology.
