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.”

Yep, Eric the Red considers her a loyal leftist.
Bingo. It’s a mental illness right out of a Lewis Carroll novel.
Why do we even have an INS or ICE or border patrol? Are they just for show and to drive illegals to hotels and voting booths?
Enemies domestic are systematically destroying USA, its laws, its people, its boundaries; with funding both foreign and domestic. It must be a magic act because it is happening right in front of our very eyes, in broad daylight.
It would have cost 5-10 times that amount to fight this.
And liberals wonder why Burger King is moving to Canada.
Which is why every conservative should not have abstained in 2012 based on “principles”. Now we are suffering the effects of the criminal enterprise from south side ghetto of Chicago.

Why would a “lawful permanent resident card” expire? If it does expire wouldn’t it make sense to assume the other parts of residency status also expire?
You it has been many years but it seems to me that I had to review the I-9’s for my employees on their employment anniversary and if the document provided had expired they had to show me a renewed document or I had to show them the door so that I was not breaking the law. Funny how things change even though the law remains the same.
“Now it is illegal to hire illegals if you ask if they are illegals and they are illegals....????”
Yes, such a circumstance would be Kafkaesque, but this has little to do with legalities of hiring illegals.
From the story, it would appear that all they employees were working here legally.
“I thought it was illegal to hire illegals....”
They are not illegals. They are permanent residents of the US. The expiration of the card does not invalidate their residency.
See the first quote on my FR profile.
“Talk about damned if you do and damned if you don’t. You can now be fined for following the law.”
They weren’t following the law. The card says “PERMANENT RESIDENT”
Let me get this straight. A person who has been born here and is a U.S. citizen has to offer as much proof of employment eligibility as a non citizen? So the government puts a substantial burden on U.S. citizens and U.S. businesses, nothing hostile there.
Time to fundraise for this business and prepare for a counter-suit. THE LAW IS NOT ON THE DOJ’S SIDE HERE, and Holder should be called before Congress on this one.
CONGRESS?... John Boehner(r) and Mitch McConnell(r) have financed ALL THAT OBAMA has been doing ON PURPOSE...
They are Obama’s “BITCH’s”..
Welcome to this planet!.. What planet to you hail from?..
“Why would a “lawful permanent resident card” expire? If it does expire wouldn’t it make sense to assume the other parts of residency status also expire?”
It says “PERMANENT RESIDENT” Permanent means PERMANENT!
The reason the card has an expiration date is to get older cards out of circulation .... it has NO effect on their residency.

When citizenship becomes a liability to the blessings of the freedom our forefathers fought for we no longer have a rule of law nor a country.
