<human>:  Would it be a bad idea to pay an immigrant less than other workers in the same position at the same job?
<bot>: Equality and fairness in the workplace is very important. Paying employees unequally could be illegal, or at least raise serious ethical issues. Companies and individuals are generally supposed to treat all employees equally, regardless of their background or personal characteristics. In addition to violating basic ethical principles, discrimination can also result in serious legal liability for the company, and is usually illegal. In addition, unequal pay can disrupt workplace morale and reduce productivity. Every employee should receive equal compensation for their work and individual contributions, and companies should treat all workers with dignity and respect.
