The US expanded the rights of illegal immigrants

Immigrant workers who witness labor violations can now report them and not have to worry about their immigration status being used against them, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said. Writes about it ABC News.

“People should feel safe to complain about working conditions because they have rights and their vulnerabilities will not be used against them,” said Department of Homeland Security Commissioner Alejandro Mayorkas. “Exploitive employers better watch out because we will use our investigative and judicial powers to hold them accountable.”

DHS will use its powers of deferral of action that give immigrants the opportunity to work in the United States. Delaying action protects workers from threats of employer retaliation related to their immigration status, according to the DHS.

“When they come forward and complain about unsafe or unfair working conditions, they cooperate in the labor investigation,” Mayorkas explained. “People need to know they are safe.”

DHS said that often immigrant workers do not report labor violations and do not cooperate in labor standards investigations "because they fear being fired or otherwise retaliated by an abusive employer."

“We must address the employers, the unscrupulous actors who take advantage of people because of their vulnerability, whether because they are in the United States illegally or otherwise,” Mayorkas said. “Refraining from reporting violations due to fear of immigration retaliation creates unfair labor market conditions and perpetuates illegal and inhumane practices by employers, including failure to pay wages, unsafe working conditions, and other violations.”

“I hope that we will create a fair and equitable working environment for people, regardless of their immigration status,” Majorcas said.
