They can fire you for pretty much any reason they want to.

There are any number or reasons that you may see as unjustifyable however to the employer they are completly justified in thier actions.
Some of the reason why I have had to let people go in the past that they did not seem to grasp were:
- deviation from their employment contract with regards to being unable to work the shifts they were hired for. As much as I would like to accommodate I will not allow another employees hours to suffer thus sometimes that employee is no longer useful to the company.
- Poor attendance, punctuality issues. A repeated pattern of tardiness as well as absences hurts productivity and negatively impact other employees.
- Decreased productivity. Effectively the employee is no longer performing their duties to company standards.
- Interpersonal conflict. The employee is unwilling or unable to work well with other staff and consistently creates problems.
- Downsizing. Generally the newer or less productive employees will be let go.
- Insubordination
Review your stance, if you feel that you have been unjustifiably terminated and you have an exemplary employment record, or feel that it is for personal reason pursue it with the labor board.

If you were working without a contract, then they can fire you for any reason and you can quit for any reason.
If you were working with a contract then you can get an attorney or maybe make a complaint to a business board, if there is any. There is also the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) if you feel discriminated against where you can make a complaint and they'll investigate.

is it perhaps that you cannot spell or use correct words? then I think they did the right thing. But seriously, you need to give us more information if you are asking that type of Q. It would be nice if you had told us what "unjustible" reason it was. I am sure you can speak to an attorney who will explain your rights.

Short of hiring an attorney, not much. File for unemployment but expect your previous employer to balk at agreeing to it. Talk with your local Employment Commission and see if they have other ideas on who you might contact regarding a suit against your employer. Report them to the Better Business Bureau.

Depends largely on what state you're in. For example, Texas is an "at will" employment state. In essence this means you can leave a job for most any reason and can be terminated for most any reason.
In addition to that it depends on what action constitutes "unjustifiable."
Employment law is pretty complex and differs widely from state to state, so there is no easy answer for you especially considering you gave no details at all.

In most US states, you can be fired for no reason. You are only likely to be protected if the company recognizes a union, and you are a member. Otherwise, you just have to suck it up and move on.

Who thinks it's unjust? You or the employer?
