Green Cards & Rights
Green Cards and Undocumented Individuals:
As of February 2024, obtaining a green card remains challenging for undocumented immigrants. Typically, lawful status is required, which creates hurdles. However, there might be limited options in specific circumstances, such as humanitarian relief programs.
Remember: Immigration policies are fluid, so staying informed is key. Consider consulting immigration attorneys or advocacy organizations for the latest guidance.
Understanding Your Rights:
Undocumented immigrants do have certain basic human rights, regardless of their immigration status. These include:
Right to due process under the law: This means you have the right to a fair hearing and legal representation if facing legal action.
Constitutional rights in the US: These include the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney if detained.
