Abstract

Undocumented workers area at risk throughout the American States and their lines are in danger. Their human rights are violated all times and their rights as workers abridged without the knowledge of the appropriate authorities. Protecting this group of people is becoming difficult because of their limited population in the American States. It is also hard to locate them. They have little information in English and the practices that govern the working environments in the United States (Haines et al., 2006:357). It is, therefore, important to examine the ways in which their rights are violated compared to the other American Citizens as discussed below.

While the abuses against the undocumented workers continue to grow, the immigration controls are used against the workers instead of protecting them. [...]

It is against the human rights to deny any person the right to pay that he/she has worked for as required.
