La Constitución de Estados Unidos protege a todos los inmigrantes, incluidos los indocumentados, cuando participan en protestas en Estados Unidos.
He aquí una lista de algunos de los derechos contemplados en la Constitución de Estados Unidos que debe tener en cuenta cuando participe en protestas:
- Derecho a la libertad de expresión. La Primera Enmienda prohíbe al gobierno restringir el derecho a la libertad de expresión. La gente tiene derecho a participar en protestas, marchas y manifestaciones.
- Derecho a no sufrir represalias. La Primera Enmienda prohíbe que el gobierno tome represalias contra usted por ejercer sus derechos, como el derecho a la libertad de expresión.
- Derecho a guardar silencio. La Quinta Enmienda le protege de la autoinculpación y le otorga el derecho a permanecer en silencio.
- Derecho a no ser registrado ni incautado injustificadamente. La Cuarta Enmienda le protege contra registros e incautaciones irrazonables.
- Derecho a hablar con un abogado. Si usted es arrestado o detenido, tiene derecho a hablar con un abogado.
Ten en cuenta que, si eres indocumentado y participas en protestas, corres un mayor riesgo de que te detengan los funcionarios de inmigración si están presentes en la protesta. Si eres indocumentado, asegúrate de que tienes un plan para el caso de que te detengan las fuerzas del orden o los funcionarios de inmigración. Es importante tomar precauciones y si es arrestado o detenido debe ponerse en contacto con un abogado inmediatamente.

It’s no secret that the U.S. immigration system has faced increased scrutiny and change in recent months. From evolving policies to headlines filled with uncertainty, it’s understandable that many individuals are left wondering: Is this still the right time to pursue a future in the United States? The answer is yes—and here’s why. Despite the shifting political landscape, the core structure of U.S. immigration law remains firmly in place. While the process may appear more complex or demanding than it once was, the legal pathways to live, work, and thrive in the United States are still open and accessible to those who take the proper steps. What often gets lost in the conversation is that the United States remains a country built on innovation, creativity, and resilience. It continues to attract global talent, entrepreneurs, artists, and professionals from all walks of life. Whether you are launching a business, advancing your career, or seeking a better life for your family, the United States offers unparalleled opportunities to those who are prepared and determined. Much of what makes the United States a global economic and technological leader today is the direct result of contributions made by immigrants. Nearly half of the current Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children. Immigrant entrepreneurs have long been an essential part of America’s economic success story. Some of the largest and most recognizable American companies were founded by immigrants or the children of immigrants. This includes household names such as Apple and Costco. Moderna, the pharmaceutical company and vaccine producer, was founded by a Canadian-born stem cell biologist, Derrick J. Rossi, whose parents themselves emigrated from Malta. These success stories are not outliers; they are part of a broader pattern that reflects the drive, innovation, and resilience that immigrants bring to the country. The United States also offers one of the most dynamic and diverse economies in the world. It is a place where hard work, fresh ideas, and entrepreneurial vision are rewarded. For creative professionals, business leaders, and investors, the United States provides a unique platform to grow, connect, and gain global influence. Its competitive marketplace, access to capital, and culture of innovation create unmatched opportunities for those ready to seize them. While the immigration process requires careful planning, that process is far from impossible. Indeed, having strong legal guidance is one of the most effective advantages an applicant can possess. Immigration law is complex, and each case must be evaluated individually. A clear, strategic plan tailored to your background and goals can significantly improve your chances of success.
