- Title
THE SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY OF LIMITING HEALTHCARE BENEFITS FOR UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS -- MOVING BEYOND RACE, CLASS, AND NATIVISM.
- Authors
Matthew, Dayna Bowen
- Abstract
The article discusses the role of immigration law in assessing whether illegal immigrants could be granted publicly funded medical care in the U.S. The author describes the use of Group Identity Model from social psychology to explain the process of social categorization and develop social perceptions to reinforce intergroup conflict. She adds that the perception of the law on illegals is that they compete with residents for jobs, education and health benefits.
