Here's a breakdown of rights for undocumented immigrants in the US:

Important: While they can't stay without legal permission, undocumented immigrants do have certain rights.

Basic Rights:

  • Equal Protection: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act protects them from discrimination based on race, religion, or nationality (at work).

  • Due Process: They have the right to a fair hearing if facing deportation. This includes the right to present evidence and legal representation (though not government-funded).

Other Rights:

  • Freedom of Speech and Religion: They can practice their faith and express themselves freely.

  • Protection from unreasonable searches: Law enforcement generally needs a warrant.

They Don't Have:

  • Right to Remain: They can be deported through legal proceedings.

  • Right to Vote: Voting is for US citizens.
