This paper investigates the question of whether and how restrictive immigration policies affect the earnings of Latinxs who are not the target of these policies—that is, Latinx citizens. Focusing on policies at the state (E-Verify) and county (287(g)) level, we investigate possible spillover on Latinx citizen earnings from 2006 through 2016. We use multiple sources of data, merging policy and census data with two national probability samples of Latinx citizens. Our results show that E-Verify and 287(g) affect earnings similarly. Laws leave wage-employed workers unaffected and instead exclusively shape the earnings of self-employed respondents. Among self-employed, policy effects depend on the type of county respondents live in. Once laws like 287(g) or E-Verify go into effect, Latinx self-employed see dramatic earnings losses when living outside of ethnic enclaves, while seeing earnings gains when living within predominantly-Latinx counties.

本文调查了限制性移民政策是否以及如何影响不是这些政策目标的拉丁裔（即拉丁裔公民）的收入的问题。着眼于州 (E-Verify) 和县 (287(g)) 层面的政策，我们调查了 2006 年至 2016 年拉丁裔公民收入的可能溢出效应。我们使用多个数据源，将政策和人口普查数据与两个国家概率合并拉丁裔公民的样本。我们的结果表明，E-Verify 和 287(g) 对收益的影响相似。法律使受薪雇员不受影响，而是完全影响自雇受访者的收入。在个体经营者中，政策效果取决于受访者居住的县类型。一旦 287(g) 或 E-Verify 等法律生效，
