Rights of Permanent Residents
As a permanent resident, you have
the right to:
•Live and work permanently anywhere in the U.S.
•Apply to become a U.S. citizen once you are eligible.
Request a visa for your husband or wife and unmarried children to live
in the U.S.
Get Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, and Medicare
benefits, if you are eligible.
Own property in the U.S.
Apply for a driver's license in your state or territory.
Leave and return to the U.S. under certain conditions.
Attend public school and college.
Join certain branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.
Purchase or own a firearm, as long as there are no state or local restrictions saying you can't.
Residents do not have the right to vote.
Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural
Worker Protection Act (MSPA), provide labor protections for vulnerable
workers. The FLSA requires employers to pay covered employees a
minimum wage and, in general, time and a half an employee's regular rate
of pay for overtime hours without regard to whether an employee is
documented or undocumented.
The problems you may face if
you are working illegally in the
U.S.:
Some employers look for alien or
immigrant employees to hire,
thinking these workers will work
more cheaply than U.S. citizens.
Other bosses employ migrants in
positions that are dangerous,
without providing adequate
protection or training. There are
even some companies that
overwork immigrant employees,
especially those that don’t speak
English very well, taking
advantage of people. Any worker
without proper paperwork proving
that he or she belongs in this
country could be deported, if
caught.
Cancellation of removal for non-permanent residents may be granted if the alien:
•Has been continuously present for at least 10 years;
•Has been a person of good moral character during that time;
•Has not been convicted of an offense that would make him or her
removable; and
•Demonstrates that removal would result in exceptional and extremely
unusual hardship to his or her immediate family members (limited to the
alien's spouse, parent, or child) who are either U.S. citizens or lawful
permanent residents.
