Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects workers from employment discrimination based on their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, opposition to practices made unlawful by Title VII, or participation in Title VII proceedings.(2) This Section of the Compliance Manual focuses on the prohibition against national origin discrimination. In enacting this prohibition, Congress recognized that whether an individual's ancestry is Mexican, Ukrainian, Filipino, Arab, American Indian, or any other nationality, he or she is entitled to the same employment opportunities as anyone else. Likewise, Title VII's protections extend to all workers in the United States, whether born in the United States or abroad and regardless of citizenship status. Title VII articulates the national policy against national origin discrimination in the workplace, while also preserving an employer's freedom of choice to make sound business decisions (SECTION 13: NATIONAL ORIGIN DISCRIMINATION).

By examining the Compliance Manual, it is apparent that it is better not to hire illegal immigrants because they are not American citizens and some of them are harmful to this country. However, they can get by with working in America due to the loop holes in laws. With that, it is recommended that companies use Affirmative Action temporary, which gives illegal immigrants a certain time frame to get their green card without receiving any penalties. It is also recommended if they are not in the legal process of receiving their green card, they must be removed from the employment immediately. Along with that, the temporary work permission should be at least sixty days, which the illegal immigrant can give the government to stay in this country without appearing to be a threat for terrorism due to the events of September 11.

Within this memo, it is recommended that illegal immigrants receive a fair shot at employment that fits the policies of the government and company since some do intend to becoming American citizens, which they need and deserve the same treatment as any other until they are informed otherwise.
