Mexican immigrants often have better health outcomes than Mexican Americans because Mexican Americans are more attuned to racial discrimination in the U.S. and that discrimination leads to stress , which has negative effects on their health . -Mexican immigrants are more likely to live in ethnic enclaves , which help to shelter them from stress of discrimination .
