Immigration-related problems and stressors are prevalent and pressing concerns among Latinx and Asian American school-age youth. Youth fears related to family deportation have been associated with adverse mental health outcomes. This study used an ecological framework to examine the impact of immigration stress and school- and community-level resources and protective factors on Latinx and Asian American youth internalizing symptoms. The sample included 1309 Asian American and 701 Latinx students ( = 2010) who participated in a routine school-based mental health needs assessment survey. Multilevel regressions analyses revealed that first-generation youth, Latinx youth, and female youth were more vulnerable to experiencing immigration-related problems and worry. Student perceptions of negative school climate and community violence were associated with greater internalizing symptoms regardless of immigration worry. Moderation analyses revealed that immigration-related problems and worry were positively associated with internalizing symptoms and that this relationship did not differ by race/ethnicity. However, immigration worry was a particular risk factor for students who perceived their neighborhood community as safe. Findings highlight that a sociopolitical climate that sows immigration-related challenges fuels youth distress and that students' experiences of their community environment can play an essential role as a psychological resource.

与移民相关的问题和压力源是拉丁裔和亚裔美国学龄青年中普遍存在和紧迫的问题。青少年对家庭驱逐的恐惧与不良的心理健康结果有关。这项研究使用生态框架来研究移民压力、学校和社区层面的资源以及保护因素对拉丁裔和亚裔美国青年内化症状的影响。样本包括 1309 名亚裔美国人和 701 名拉丁裔学生（= 2010 年），他们参加了常规的学校心理健康需求评估调查。多层次回归分析显示，第一代青年、拉丁裔青年和女性青年更容易遇到与移民相关的问题和担忧。无论移民问题如何，学生对负面学校氛围和社区暴力的看法与更大的内化症状有关。适度分析显示，与移民相关的问题和担忧与内化症状呈正相关，并且这种关系不因种族/民族而异。然而，对于那些认为自己的社区安全的学生来说，移民担忧是一个特别的风险因素。研究结果强调，社会政治氛围会带来与移民相关的挑战，加剧青少年的痛苦，而学生的社区环境经历可以作为心理资源发挥重要作用。
