Thats exactly what they’re doing. Lets be sure becomes you have to accept phony docs and if they’re caught with phony docs,you’re to blame.
Catch-22
Our government definitely needs an overhaul. One governmental department is stepping on the other.
This has nothing to do with law. This a bureaucrat’s turf war and John Jay College is the pawn. Let the beatings continue until morale improves.
Is there an advantage to being a citizen?
I took some grad school courses at john jay a few years ago, and I find this article difficult to believe. You’re hard pressed to find English being spoken in any of the hallways. The teachers are pretty good, though.
If the GOP is smart, they will broadcast this to the hilt. During 10% unemployment, this won’t go over well.
The Do”J” standing up for the crooks once again.
“They are not bad,” added the woman, who said that she arrived from Korea on a student visa almost 30 years ago and that her green card application was pending while she worked at John Jay. “I think they were just poorly trained.”
So if I am not mistaken she was not authorized to work because her green card application was pending.
So if they hire someone unauthorized to work in the US, they will be in trouble. But if they ask for documents that the law says they have to ask for, they will be sued.
This country is done. Good God.
Wouldn't it be a hoot if Alejandro Miyar were an illegal immigrant? I wouldn't put it past this Justice Department...
LAWS on the vooks now make it ILLEGEAL for an ILLEGAL CITIZEN to have a job. WHat’s going on there is nuts and ILLEGALS have become arrogant. MORE should follow the LAW, on the books NOW.
I’d bet FEW know who JOhn Jay was. Leave it to the NYT to make a mockery of him.
In 1787 Jay authored three of the articles now collectively called The Federalist, in which he, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton argued effectively in support of the ratification of the new Federal Constitution. In 1789, Washington appointed him Chief Justice to the Supreme Court under the new federal constitution. In 1794 he was appointed an envoy extraordinary to Great Britain, in order to seek a resolution to continuing conflicts on the western border, and in commercial relations. The result of this was the Jay Treaty, which proved very unpopular with the public, but was nonetheless approved of by the Washington administration. Upon his return home Jay found that, in his absence, he had been elected Governor of New York. Fellow Federalist Alexander Hamilton had secured his election in an effort to strengthen the party in New York. Jay withstood a great deal of party maneuvering and political trickery, earning respect form his friends and enemies alike. He was a very popular Governor who fought for many political reforms including judicial reform, penal reform and the abolition of slavery. He undertook extensive road and canal projects to improve the economy of his state. He retired from public life in 1801. President John Adams tried to appoint him to the Supreme Court again that year, but owing to the illness of his wife, Jay declined the office. Jay died on May 17, 1829 having survived his wife and both of his partners in The Federalist.

Hey these Noncitizens have Non-Constitutional rights!!
The government can’t win this if the school still hired permanent residents but didn’t hire illegals.
Obama wants them to break the law. Then if they cooperate with this illegal activity, they will be prosecuted in the future for hiring illegals. It is a bankster scam and shake down of a different variety.
As I read this, they are suing the John Jay College, the law school at New York City’s public university. It used to be called CCNY and was an absolutely terrific school, where bright kids from middle to lower income families could get a great, tuition-free or low tuition education. Then they dispensed with entry exams and it was all downhill from there. So now it does something proper, its law school requires a simple piece of paper, and the feds jump on them.
Typically, a law school will place students with government agencies or law firms, as law clerks, so they can get actual hands-on, practical experience outside the classroom. By demanding this proof, they are assuring the agency or firm that the student they are placing with them is there legally. It saves the potential ‘employer’ from having to spend time verifying that eligibility, and protects them from possible future law suits, fines and penalties. So now THEY are being sued for requiring that eligibility documentation.
Too bad our DOJ has become so pathetic under Holder. I’m not sure it will ever regain credibility. They won’t pursue the Black Panthers in Philly, but they will go after a university for requiring one more page of eligibility documentation.
This has been the case for years, you could not delve too deeply unless social security alerted you that the information submitted was false. Even then, you were told to NOT fire the person, but relay to them that the number they gave you did not come up as correct, and to first ask them to resubmit.
Note also that this school is part of CUNY, so it is the government violating the law and the rights of employees/citizens. Yeah, that always works out well. We want more of that.
It has been the law for YEARS that each and every new possible hire was to correctly fill out a form I-9.
I was a payroll supervisor 35 years ago, and we checked carefully.
I understand the fine for hiring non-eligible persons to be $5000 per day per person hired.
NObama & Holder are going after an employer for following the law!!!!
I sincerely hope the college fights this and does so with lots of publicity.
