What are your rights, even if you are undocumented?

Writer: Khada N. AcharyaKhada N. Acharya

Undocumented individuals in the U.S. have rights under the Constitution, regardless of immigration status. They are entitled to due process, ensuring fair legal proceedings and the ability to contest actions against them. The Fourteenth Amendment grants them equal protection under the law, prohibiting discrimination based on immigration status and guaranteeing the same legal protections as citizens. They have the right to remain silent during law enforcement questioning and to seek legal counsel to avoid self-incrimination. Legal representation is crucial for navigating legal matters, including immigration and criminal issues. Undocumented individuals can access education, as public schools cannot deny enrollment based on immigration status, ensuring opportunities for development and societal integration. They are also protected by labor laws, guaranteeing safe working conditions, fair wages, and the right to organize. Understanding these rights is vital for their well-being in the U.S.
