Immigrant's Rights

Written & Edited by: Vanessa Banos

Lets face it, immigration made the US what it is today, only 3% of current citizens are native. After all the effort put into this country, one would think immigrants have a surplus of rights. Here's what we think is most beneficial to our immigrants:

1. Anti-Discrimination:

   1. Multiple Florida laws protect immigrants from discrimination in the workplace, housing, accommodations, etc.

2. Deportation Orders:

   1. As an immigrant, you have the right to a hearing and to challenge a deportation, as long as you don't waive that right as they are booking you.

3. Remaining Silent:

   1. You are not obligated to express your immigration status with officers, ICE, or anybody for that matter.

4. Equality:

   1. No matter your immigration status, you have the exact same rights as the citizens of the US, as long as you are living here.
