We’ve all heard the fictional Republican war on
women. Tell a woman she has to pay for
her own damn birth control, suddenly you’re denying her access to health
care. It’s a ridiculous premise.
What isn’t ridiculous is the Democratic Party’s
war on American citizenship. Illegal
aliens are swarming across our borders.
The DOJ, federal judiciary and Democratic politicians are scheming to
grant defacto amnesty without the authorization of Congress. And now, businesses are being sued for
verifying the legal status of employees.
A Texas catering
business will pay the United States $26,400 for engaging in
“citizenship-discrimination,” as part of a settlement with the Justice
Department announced Tuesday.
Culinaire International
unlawfully discriminated against employees based on their citizenship status,
the Justice Department claimed, because it required non-citizen employees to
provide extra proof of their right to work in the United States.
Culinaire has agreed to
pay the United States $20,460 in civil penalties, receive training in
anti-discrimination rules of the Immigration and Nationality Act, revise
its work eligibility verification process, and create a $40,000 back pay
fund for “potential economic victims.”
“Employers cannot
discriminate against workers by requiring them to produce more documents than
necessary in the employment eligibility verification and reverification
processes,” Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights division, Molly
Moran, said in a statement.
A lawful permanent
resident’s card expires, but their right to work is permanent, and in this case
Culinaire was requiring employees to present a renewed permanent resident card
to be verified as work-eligible. The Justice Department claimed this violated a
provision in the INA that prohibits employers from requiring extra
documentation from non-citizen employees.
So let’s get this
straight. An immigrant’s lawful
residency expires, yet they don’t have to renew it and can work in the U.S.
indefinitely and with impunity. Does
anyone else have a problem with this?
Didn’t the 9/11 hijackers exploit similar loopholes?
