DOJ: Firing Migrant Workers With Expired Employment Forms Is Discrimination
Townhall.com ^ | August 28, 2016 | Matt Vespa

Posted on 08/28/2016 10:43:09 AM PDT by Kaslin

Mariana Barillas dug this up at The Washington Examiner. Apparently, it’s discriminatory to fire migrant workers with expired papers. Moreover, Barillas added that the Department of Justice feels that to ask migrant workers for more work authorization forms could constitute a violation of a provision within the Immigration and Nationality Act that says employers cannot give excessive demands:

The Justice Department released a video this week encouraging companies not to terminate immigrants after their employment authorization expires, and indicated that doing so is a form of discrimination.

[…]

The video then tells viewers that the federal government has extended employment authorization by six months for people from El Salvador with Temporary Protected Status, a benefit designed to help foreign nationals who are considered unable to safely return to their home.

The Justice Department claims requesting additional work-authorization documents from these workers may violate a provision in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) designed to protect individuals from excessive employer demands based on their nationality.

That’s fine for El Salvador, but in general, it’s discrimination to terminate someone whose work papers have expired? The DOJ seems to be getting really creative regarding expanding what is discrimination in order to prevent companies from sending migrant workers home. Moreover, how is asking for more authorization forms for better verification an excessive burden? Shocking? Not really given what this presidency has done with immigration through executive orders, which are in legal limbo right now.

Then there is no such thing as an expired drivers license, right?

Or an expired insurance certificate?

Or unpaid taxes.

Got it.

For those who ever wondered:

What if the criminals themselves ever took over the Federal Government?

I am really sick of our government treating illegal aliens better than the citizens they are supposed to be protecting from the illegal aliens.

....and keeping them employed knowing they are illegal will get them fines from the state and federal government. Especially the IRS.

I thought it was illegal to hire foreign workers without an authorization form. Has DOJ repealed the law?

America is not for Americans anymore. The government just wants your money, because you owe third worlders!

“Has DOJ repealed the law?”

No, they just enforce the bits that suit them and ignore the bits that don’t.

(from the article):" That’s fine for El Salvador, but in general, it’s discrimination to terminate someone whose work papers have expired?
The DOJ seems to be getting really creative regarding expanding what is discrimination in order to prevent companies from sending migrant workers home."

It seems that the only discrimination is being done by the Dept. of " JUST-US ", to selectively ignore the 'LAW OF THE LAND '
by guidance, investigation, coercion and law enforcement,
at the expense of the native American citizen/ workers...again !

Hang on!!! Isn’t it illegal to knowingly employ a person who doesn’t have the legal right to work in this country?
