Answer to Question 1

The illegal immigrants often work in hazardous conditions without protective gear and earn far less than their legal counterparts. Nearly one-third of the illegal immigrants interviewed reported working with harmful substances and in dangerous conditions, while 19 percent said they were not given any protective equipment. Illegal immigrants also were paid significantly less if at all earning on average 10 per hour, compared with 16.50 for documented workers. Under federal labor law, illegal immigrants are afforded the same health and safety protections as documented workers. Regardless of their legal status, laborers can sue most employers under the Fair Labor Standards Act for violation of the minimum wage law and overtime regulations.
