Four women in Southern California were asked to prove they were legal residents by a waiter in a restaurant.
Managers of Saint Marc, in Huntington Beach, later apologised and said they had fired the staff member.
Diana Carrillo, who has Mexican ancestry, told the BBC: "I've never faced discrimination like this in the past. The four of us who went to the restaurant were all born in the United States."
"I think a lot of people think they have the power to discriminate against people more openly than before," Ms Carrillo said.
"I woke up this morning to a lot of comments stating this is fake news, that this didn't happen. Unfortunately it did happen and it happened to me and three other people. We have to bring awareness to racism and address this."
Kent Bearden, senior director of operations at Saint Marc, confirmed to the newspaper that the waiter in question was fired and said that that employee's actions "are something that you can't control".
