Injured illegal immigrant can sue

Recently a local court upheld the right of an illegal immigrant to sue following a construction accident. In the Manhattan case, a Judge ruled that the plaintiff's case should not be dismissed even though the plaintiff was an illegal immigrant. The Court found that the plaintiff's illegal status was "irrelevant." The Court's ruling was clearly a victory for immigrant's rights. The Court found that the defendant employer of illegal immigrants cannot receive the benefits of paying illegal immigrants lower wages and then use the immigrant's illegal status against them when faced with a lawsuit. The Judge found that it was wrong for the firms to hold deportation over the heads of immigrant workers injured on the job
