National discourse about immigration in the United States has become increasingly unwelcoming. In two studies, we examine whether regional-level (state) information about welcoming (vs. unwelcoming) immigrant policies in the context of either stable or increasing rate of immigration can influence intergroup relations in receiving communities. Among Whites (Study 1), welcoming policy proposals elicited more positive attitudes toward immigrants generally and toward Latinos, the ethnic group most closely associated with immigration in the United States, but only when rate of immigration is constant. In contrast, among Latinos (Study 2), an unwelcoming reception led to more positive attitudes toward immigrants (legal and undocumented) but again only when rate of immigration is constant. Asians’ attitudes (Study 2) toward immigrants were not affected by contextual information about immigration. Together, these findings suggest that

不仅仅是一个国家问题：州级移民接待和人口变化对美国白人、拉丁裔和亚裔群体间态度的影响

关于美国移民的全国性讨论越来越不受欢迎。在两项研究中，我们研究了在稳定或不断增加的移民率的背景下，关于欢迎（与不受欢迎）移民政策的区域（州）信息是否会影响接收社区的群体间关系。在白人（研究 1）中，欢迎的政策建议引发了对移民和拉丁美洲人的更积极态度，拉丁美洲人是美国与移民关系最密切的族群，但前提是移民率保持不变。相比之下，在拉丁裔（研究 2）中，不受欢迎的接待导致对移民（合法和无证移民）的态度更加积极，但同样只有在移民率恒定的情况下。亚洲人对移民的态度（研究 2）不受移民背景信息的影响。总之，这些发现表明
