Some politicians employ harsh rhetoric demanding that government deny public services such as food, housing, and medical care to immigrants. While nonprofits assist immigrants in this regard, their work is sustainable only if private donors support them. Using a survey experiment, this article examines whether donors' willingness to support a charity depends on the legal status of its beneficiaries, and the region from which they have come. We find that, in relation to a charity that serves low-income families (control group), donors are less willing to support a charity serving immigrants, but the region from which beneficiaries emigrated is irrelevant. Donor willingness diminishes substantially when beneficiaries are undocumented or face deportation. While shared ethnicity between donors and beneficiaries does not increase charitable support, bilingualism does. In addition, support for the charity rises substantially among Latinx donors who were born outside the US and do not speak English at home.

向服务不足的人群提供公共服务：非营利组织和拉丁裔威胁叙述

一些政客使用严厉的言辞要求政府拒绝向移民提供食品、住房和医疗等公共服务。虽然非营利组织在这方面帮助移民，但只有在私人捐助者支持他们的情况下，他们的工作才能持续。本文通过一项调查实验检验捐助者支持慈善机构的意愿是否取决于受益人的法律地位以及他们来自的地区。我们发现，就服务于低收入家庭的慈善机构（对照组）而言，捐助者不太愿意支持服务于移民的慈善机构，但与受益人移民的地区无关。当受益人没有证件或面临驱逐出境时，捐助者的意愿会大大降低。虽然捐助者和受益人之间的共同种族不会增加慈善支持，双语确实如此。此外，在美国境外出生且在家不会说英语的拉丁裔捐助者对该慈善机构的支持大幅增加。
