The Obama administration is building Catch-22's for business. In order for a business to succeed, it will have to break the law. It could get a pass, though, if the business will take certain specified actions that support the federal government. In other words, the only way to get ahead will be to break the law.

How about DON’T perform background checks on employee applicants at your real peril?

I’d take my chances with the court if need be.

If you unknowingly hire a criminal and he/she ends up killing someone on the job, who usually ends up having to pay out the absolutely insane court award? Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. America really sucks under the Kenyan’s rule.

I'd like to know whether that bill going through the Senate (Violence against women act) has any gun control measures like background checks.

It's running below the radar so I assume it has provision for background and mental health consideration.

So lets guess the outcome of this idiocy.

Blacks and Hispanics unfortunately are a demographic with higher incidents of failed criminal activity. ie spent time in jail.

So a company now faces government harassment if they do criminal background checks and are taking a risk by not doing them. So the answer will be that human nature abhors bad policy, so less qualified black and Hispanics will make to through the hiring process so a company reducues it’s risks.

So, if it’s discriminatory to do criminal record checks before hiring an employee, based on the same logic, wouldn’t it also be discriminatory to do criminal record checks to prevent someone from exercising a right spelled out in the U.S. Constitution?

I have an engineering degree and a heck of a resume including various security clearances and management positions. My headhunter put me in for a very high position at nearby company. They did a screening interview, then sent me for a 4 hour evaluation test by a psychiatrist. After the math, English and reading skills test I had to answer several hundred psychological questions. “I think it’s okay to steal from my employer if my pay is too low.” “I think it’s okay to give illegal drugs to a coworker providing no money changes hands.” “I think marihuana should be legal.” “It’s okay to do illegal drugs on the weekends if I’m not doing them at work.” “I think violence is okay provided the person I hit deserved it.” These questions were asked about 30 different ways. According to my headhunter, this company has cut its turnover by 50% since they began this testing. Apparently, a large percentage of people are idiots. I’m thinking if this test is that good, maybe background checks aren’t necessary. Provided you give all the employees the same test, it should be legal to screen this way. By-the-way, the math, English and reading skills went from grade school to college level. Requiring a twelfth-grade passing score might screen out most criminals.

What will be interesting is those jobs where the state mandates a background check. Jobs such as working with children, aged and mentally ill.

I suppose the feds will go after the states now and force them to change their policies as well.

It’s the ‘white privilege’ thing again. No criminals have a positive attitude toward rule of law and success within societal norms. Instead of fixing attitudes, Obama says take them as they are. No.

I started working at the elementary school in our town. I had to be fingerprinted and background checked to be a bus driver. Then, had to do it all over again to get my substitute teacher certification. Are schools liable for not hiring someone who has been imprisoned for child rape? Oh, geez. That might actually happen some day!

Ex-cons can be rated on their threat, and once this is done, there are some that are unemployable. But there is a possible solution of states teaming up to create an "ex-con reservation", in a rural part of a host state, for a price.

In essence, a low technology town where they can work to support themselves, and instead of getting individual handouts, they get them as a group, to save money.

The town government are what amounts to ombudsmen, to keep things flowing smoothly. And membership is based on good behavior. If you misbehave you get sent home. Most of what they do is to farm much of their own food.

But they are away from crime, alcohol and drugs, without the intense pressure of the "real world". In particular, a lot of convicts are getting out when they are older or elderly, so this also works as a semi-retirement home for them. But again, the bottom line is not for them, but to save taxpayer money.

I could be wrong, but I thought that when I was a child criminals had a record for 10 years and if they were clean during that time it was expunged from public records.

One must wonder if they should also get a pass on background checks to buy a gun...

If you give a lot of money to Democratic candidates, they will surely see to it that you won’t be hassled by EEOC.
