Legal Question in Employment Law in Missouri

What are the consequences of illigal question at the job interview?

Is it illigal to be asked at the job interview (I speak with an accent as I was bourn in another country) 1.What country are you from? 2.What brought you to America? 3.Do you have any support group of friends and family here? If those questions are illegal, what can I do about it?
