Immigrants Have Legal Rights: Do You Know Your Rights?

Immigrants in the United States have legal rights, even if they are undocumented and do not have a visa or a green card. All immigrants should be aware of their legal rights and protections.

Legal Rights

Here are some legal rights that undocumented immigrants should be aware of regarding their legal rights in the United States:

• Fifth Amendment Rights:
  Undocumented immigrants, like all individuals in the United States, are protected by the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This includes the right to due process. This means that they cannot be deprived of life, liberty or property without the proper legal procedures.
• The right to remain silent:
  Undocumented immigrants have the same rights as anyone else regarding remaining silent. They cannot be forced to incriminate themselves or answer questions about their immigration status to state or local police.
• The right to an attorney:
  All individuals, including undocumented immigrants, can seek legal counsel in the United States. They can hire a private attorney or seek assistance from a non-profit organization or pro bono legal service.
• The right to medical treatment:
  Undocumented immigrants have the right to receive emergency medical treatment even if they cannot afford to pay for it.
• The right to education:
  All children, including undocumented immigrants, have the right to attend public school in the United States. This is true regardless of the child’s immigration status or the status of the child’s parents.
• The right to due process:
  Undocumented immigrants have the right to due process in the United States. This means that they have the right to a fair hearing. And if located within the United States, they cannot be deported without this process being followed.
• Labor Rights:
  All individuals, including undocumented immigrants, are entitled to certain labor rights and protections. These include the right to a safe working environment from known health and safety hazards, minimum wage protections, and the right to form or join labor unions under various federal and state laws.

An Immigration Attorney Can Protect Your Rights

It is important for undocumented immigrants to be informed about their legal rights, as well as to seek legal advice and assistance from trusted sources. Plus, certain cities and states may also have additional policies that protect undocumented immigrants. It can be helpful to research specific local laws and regulations. Immigration laws and regulations change frequently and can be confusing. Consulting an experienced immigration attorney who can provide more accurate and specific information based on the current laws can protect your rights.
