Immigrants are being mistreated?


  Immigrants had being mistreated in many ways. They are mistreated because some Americans don't like the idea of them staying in their country. Immigrants like the Asians, had to work hard in Chinese restaurants and minimarkets. Latins have the dirtiest jobs in the country; washing bathrooms, checking above the houses and cleaning them too. Some Latins do not even have a job to maintain their families.

One of the groups of people that mistreated the immigrants are the high class.  Most of the time is the high class paid them a minimum amount of money for very hard work. Jobs like baby sitting, doing domestic jobs and in the case of Mexicans, doing the gardens of the houses. Police can't do anything about that exploitation because most of them are illegal. Another group that discriminated them are the police because they are angry with the immigrants because the police think that they do not deserve to be in USA.

There are laws that protect the immigrants from discrimination. The court may award employment discrimination monetary damages for the immigrants under the Civil Rights Act of 1991. This law protects employment discrimination based on race and nationality, so it protects immigrants. Employers hiring immigrants must not discriminate against them because the immigrants can and may take legal action. Immigrants can also file a complaint to the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission and have information and proof of discrimination ready.
