Answer preview

Immigration is at its highest globally, with the US being the largest recipient of migrant workers. Even though most of these workers are documented, there is a large percentage that is undocumented. Most undocumented workers work in construction, manufacturing, agricultural, and other low-paying and dangerous jobs in the country. Health is a crucial human right, and all humans are entitled to adequate healthcare. Undocumented migrants who work in the high-risk industries face poor healthcare if they are not recognized as eligible for workers compensation. According to Berlinger & Raghavan (2013), healthcare is a basic need, but many undocumented workers do not get it because they do not have workers benefits.
