Citizenship requirement will be waived for many L.A. County government jobs
LA Times ^ | AUG. 11, 2021 6 AM PT | ANDREA CASTILLO, JACLYN COSGROVE

On Tuesday, the L.A. County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a motion allowing the county, with a few exceptions, to hire noncitizens to lead county agencies — excluding the chief probation officer — and for any other county jobs where state or federal law doesn’t mandate citizenship.

Immigrants who lack legal status remain ineligible to work for the county.

Tuesday’s motion, by Supervisors Hilda Solis and Sheila Kuehl, extends eligibility for county jobs to lawful permanent residents and those with work permits.

Immigrants make up 35% of the population in L.A. County. With about 110,000 employees, the county government is one of the largest employers in the region.

Some details of the county’s plan weren’t made public. The county chief executive office and Solis’ and Kuehl’s offices declined to share a June report with The Times, stating it was protected by attorney-client privilege because it was drafted by county attorneys.

All due respect, you’re missing the point. With no border, we’re no longer a “country”.

That’s because CA is starting to opt out of the Union; become their own country.

“...hire noncitizens to lead county agencies...”

“Immigrants who lack legal status remain ineligible to work for the county.”

Doesn’t even make sense.

excluding the chief probation officer

I wonder if the person in charge of actually performing I-9's for this agency has to be a citizen.

And even worse, to think that a citizenship requirement being specified for certain positions and not all of them is a loophole that lawyers and politicians can drive through .....
