In any country, it is inevitable that immigrants will be a big part of the country’s population. Many immigrants are the force of the country and provide such a positive impact on the country in many ways such as economically and population-wise. When an immigrant arrives in the United States of America, they could be overwhelmed with many things such as being in a new country, leaving the home they have known their whole lives, new laws, getting a source of income, and making a new life with new friends and family. One very important thing that they should know is that they should learn their rights especially if they ever encounter law enforcement. A person, regardless of legal status, has legal rights under the constitution If an immigrant gets asked for their legal status, they should stay calm and not create an argument as that only creates a bigger problem do not lie but, you also have the right to remain silent. You also have the right to say no to being searched. All of this can be hard to remember especially when you are in a dire situation such as dealing with law enforcement, but it is critical to stay calm. When things do not go as planned, it is important to have a plan. Make sure to have a talk with your family if things go sideways. Having a lawyer, being educated on U.S. laws, and saving up money is so important to any U.S. Immigrant as they can help in ever in danger.
