DOJ: Firing Migrant Workers With Expired Employment Forms Is Discrimination
Townhall.com ^ | August 28, 2016 | Matt Vespa

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.

Technically yes, but the law as applied under the Kenyanesian Usurper has been turned on its head, it is now discriminatory to not employ them.

If expiration dates are no longer valid then why do we still have to renew our license and plates? I smell a Supreme Court case coming . . .

When applying for the last job I ever held (the one from which I retired) I was required to show proof of citizenship/right to work.I showed HR my US passport.

They required us to fill out new I-9 forms a few years ago, even though I had been with the company since 1985.

Those are NOT LUNATICS. Serious Marxists at work destroying America as they have been planning for many decades.

The DOJ should understand that the Saudis who killed 3,000 Americans were here on EXPIRED VISAS.

Enforcing US law would have prevented this massacre.

So let me get this straight. In order to not be prosecuted for a civil rights violation you must break the law....

If one is using the word in the traditional sense, without the adjaectives “unjust” or “illegal” implied, I’d agree 100%. Of course, it takes discriminating taste to see the different nuances that the word might have.

I am really sick of our government treating illegal aliens better than the tax paying legal citizens they are supposed to be protecting from the illegal aliens.

Just a little editing on your excellent response.

Patriots, please note that although the following critique is directed at the DOJ, the real problem is this. Corrupt, state sovereignty-ignoring Congress is wrongly letting the DOJ get away with harrassing the sovereign states with 10th Amendment-protected state powers that the DOJ has stolen from the states.

More specifically, regarding the misguided DOJ’s warning against discrimination, patriots are reminded that the only discrimination that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly prohibit for both federal and state governments deal with voting rights as evidenced by the 15th, 19th, and 26th Amendments.

Patriots are also reminded that even if the states had constitutionally prohibited the feds and themselves from practicing whatever kind of discrimanation that the DOJ is talking about that the Supreme Court had clarified in United States v. Cruikshank that the states required only themselves and the feds, not individual citizens, to respect constitutionally enumerated rights.

Also note that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that, regardless what FDR’s state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices wanted everybody to think about the scope of Congress’s Commerce Clause powers (1.8.3), that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate INTRAstate commerce, the DOJ now illegally interfering with employment issues.

Remember in November !

Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will put a stop to unconstitutonal federal government inteference in state affairs.

Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

Then there is no such thing as an expired drivers license, right?

Only if you don't renew it.

Or an expired insurance certificate?

Don't you mean insurance policy?

Yes it is and that is why employers who do should be punished and not just the illegals,

I remember a John Travolta movie line. He was in Face Off. Nic Cage switched places. John was the bad guy but had the face of the head of the FBI or some big wig in gov.

In that movie he said to his pal on the phone.....’just think we will have full control of the fed gov.’ That is what is going on right now. Never forgot that line.
