National Origin Discrimination
According to the Civil Rights Division, there are federal laws that prohibit discrimination based on a persons origin, race, color, religion, disability, gender and familial status. These laws make it illegal to discriminate a person based on their birthplace, ancestry, culture or language. These laws are effective when it comes to
(Which are also effective when it comes to…) accessing the freedom to proper education, employment, housing, voting rights, lending/loans, and public accommodations. Based on 2023 KFF/LA Times Survey of Immigrants that examines a study of the diverse U.S. immigrant experience, about four in ten (38%) of immigrants have said that they received worse treatment than those who were born in the U.S. or are citizens of the U.S. whether it its inside a store or restaurant, in interactions with the police, or when buying/renting a home. The same portion can also be said about them being shamed for the limitations of communication as well as their accents. With the lack of language or status in mind, one in four of immigrants often are either rejected from receiving health services or are poorly received. About half of immigrants who are employed experience discrimination in the workplace such as given less pay or fewer opportunities for advancement than those born in the U.S. Overqualified workers are often seen as less just because of their immigration status. Some are even paid nothing while being threatened or harassed.
Conclusion sentence further explained:
Most immigrants face daily oppression just because they or their family are from another country, accent or name associated with a national origin group, or because they participate in certain customs that are accustomed with their origin group. Immigrants are in need of better protection and treatment.
