Judicial watch raised an interesting question this week regarding one of the more intriguing hires made by Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’s team at the DNC. Did they violate the law by hiring an illegal alien?
Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission requesting that it investigate the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for having “knowingly hired” an illegal alien, Cindy Nava, to help craft the committee’s 2016 political message and communications. Judicial Watch filed its complaint on August 25, 2015.
A June 8, 2015, story in The Washington Post reported that the DNC hired Nava with full knowledge of what DNC chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) termed Nava’s “undocumented status.” The news report details that “Despite not yet attaining legal status, Nava is working for the Democratic National Committee as one of a crop of fellows from around the country helping the party organize ahead of a presidential election that President Obama predicted would feature immigration as a major issue.” The Spanish language newspaper El Nuevo Herald reports that Nava would help coordinate DNC outreach to “women, youth, and Hispanics.”
Federal law prohibits foreign nationals from participating “directly or indirectly in the decision-making process” of federal, state, or local election-related activities.
This is a question with a few twists and turns. It seems that Ms. Nava has been referred to as “a dreamer” in terms of her status, but in legal terms that’s really not “a thing” as the kids like to say today. In reality, she’s allegedly qualified for temporarily relief under DACA, so she’s in that gray area of immigration law which has emerged under the Obama administration. But the Washington Examiner checked into it and claims that she’s still not entirely in the clear because she has applied for DACA status, but at last report it hadn’t been approved yet. Still, you can see how someone with an application pending wouldn’t be a priority target to be scooped up and deported in an urgent fashion.
That’s why Judicial Watch is focused more on the DNC and the fact that they hired her when she was obviously not in an eligible status. Their complaint goes to a more specific, election related statute prohibiting illegal aliens from participating in the electoral process, but I have to wonder if there isn’t a more general violation going on here. Wouldn’t the DNC also be admitting that they were in violation of 8 U.S. Code § 1324a which prohibits the unlawful employment of aliens in any sort of work? Even if Nava has since been granted DACA status, she didn’t have it at the time of her hiring, which seems to fly in the face of the statute.
(1) In general It is unlawful for a person or other entity—
(A) to hire, or to recruit or refer for a fee, for employment in the United States an alien knowing the alien is an unauthorized alien (as defined in subsection (h)(3) of this section) with respect to such employment, or
(B)
(i) to hire for employment in the United States an individual without complying with the requirements of subsection (b) of this section or (ii) if the person or entity is an agricultural association, agricultural employer, or farm labor contractor (as defined in section 1802 of title 29), to hire, or to recruit or refer for a fee, for employment in the United States an individual without complying with the requirements of subsection (b) of this section.
Subsection (h)(3) is fairly clear as to what qualifies as proper documentation to be employed and what the obligations are of the employer to determine that the new hire is legally eligible for employment. If the employer (in this case, the DNC) has failed to perform that due diligence, they may be fined not more than $3,000 for each unauthorized alien with respect to whom such a violation occurs, imprisoned for not more than six months for the entire pattern or practice, or both.
On a tangentially related subject, who has been paying Jose Antonio Vargas lately? He’s most certainly not a DACA candidate and he was finally arrested last year, but released while his case makes its way through the system. And yet he showed up at Netroots Nation this year and has been “reporting” from various places all year. Is he just independently wealthy? It certainly looked like he was employed to me, and if so then his employer has some questions to answer as well.
This is rich.
And who is going to prosecute them?
The muzzie clown in the White House’s DOJ?
The democrats are a criminal enterprise. This will get very ugly if the rule of law is not restored soon.
0bama?
Haven’t you heard yet? If the DNC does it all is okay! DNC IS Above the law.
Is anyone keeping tract of the number of laws the democrats are ignoring?
...???
“May have”
IT IS ILLEGAL TO HIRE SOMEONE WITHOUT A VALID VISA
Even if she receives DACA status, she remains a foreign national.
“Federal law prohibits foreign nationals from participating...”
Let’s see. Dimocrats. Illegals. Law broken. Nothing here to see. Move along. The occupant in the White House says it is okay, thus it is okay. Move along. Keep the line moving people. Keep it moving. Nothing to see here.
NEED TO KNOW NOW:
How many govt checks is Cindy Nava cashing?
How many govt checks is her family cashing?
How many identities does Nava have?
How many identities does her family have?
How many violent groups advocating the overthrow of the US govt does she and her family belong to?
Is she and/or her family registered as agents for a foreign govt?

That’s reason enough for Obama to take out his pen and give a voter id to he trespasser and a promotion to the thug who hired it.
But wait - wasn’t a company fined for checking the status of a hire to see if he could work in the US?
Only in Barry’s lawless Amerika. His dreams from his “father” have turned into nightmares for law abiding Americans.
Laws are for the little people.
If the DNC lets Nava go because she cannot produce proof of citizenship, will the DNC be hounded by the DOJ into providing 200,000 in penalties as it made Nebraska Beef Ltd. pay?
Jorge?

I heard some clown on Fox say this morning that “just because a person is an illegal alien it does not make them a criminal.” What a profound statement.
