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.
God help us indeed.
It seems more and more that appealing to the Judge of Nations is the only way to fix things, let us hope that when the Tree of Liberty is watered that patriots do not pay as high a price as tyrants.
Trump needs to start talking more about he political corruption of the justice department. And he needs to start talking about cleaning it up.
Hope Trump is aware of this. Just one more thing to put on his First 100 Day list.
This is not racial discrimination. Illegals are not supposed to be employed without permission, visas, etc.
The DOJ is shamelessly using the race card.
I know a majority of Americans are tired of it. They need to get off their asses and vote for Trump.
Excellent response.
Obviously, the usefulness of the Department of Justice has expired.
I agree completely with you on all points
Well they're future democrat voters
This is why the DOJ doesn't care
What if the criminals themselves ever took over the Federal Government?
you saying they have not - sometimes I wonder
Jamie Gorelick never gets any credit anymore......Didn’t she (destroy) work in the Clinton admin. Didn’t she build walls someplace?
So? Some things need discrimination and expired workers permits are one of them.
no its whats right under a republic..
We are no longer citizens, we are subjects.
Make that 50 years
I don't know how broad those "forms" are but I always thought that it was a violation of law for an employer to employ anyone not in this country legally. Example, at one of our southern plants, we had a British contractor whose employment we terminated because his Visa had expired.....Granted it wasn't intentional because it was the govt. that was dragging their feet but we had to fire him nevertheless.........
Then there is no such thing as an expired drivers license, right?
Or an expired insurance certificate?
Or unpaid taxes.
Got it.
Racism is the sacred cow that no one can challenge. I get it.
