Obama Creates Jobs . . . For Illegals

In its crusade to protect and assist illegal immigrants, the Obama administration has accused an American company of discrimination for requiring employees to furnish proof that they are eligible to work legally in the United States.

You know the nation is in trouble when a U.S. business gets investigated by its own government for following the law. The case involves a Nebraska meat packing company that demanded workers to furnish proof of immigration status for the federal employment eligibility verification process. The Obama Department of Justice (DOJ) went after the company, accusing it of engaging in employment discrimination.

In particular the DOJ’s Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices objected to non-U.S. citizens being “targeted” because of their citizenship status. “The department’s investigation found that the company required non-U.S. citizens, but not similarly-situated U.S. citizens, to present specific documentary proof of their immigration status to verify their employment eligibility,” the DOJ claims. This could constitute a violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), the feds assert, because its anti-discrimination provision prohibits employers from making documentary demands based on citizenship or national origin when verifying an employee’s authorization to work.

With the feds breathing down its neck the business, Nebraska Beef Ltd, agreed to pay Uncle Sam a $200,000 civil penalty and establish an uncapped back pay fund to compensate individuals who lost wages because they couldn’t prove they are in the county legally. Additionally, the business will undergo “compliance monitoring,” which means big brother will be watching very closely. The head of the DOJ’s civil rights division explains that the agency is on a mission to eliminate “unnecessary and discriminatory barriers to employment” so workers can support their families and contribute to the U.S. economy.

This case is part of a broader effort by the Obama administration to helps illegal aliens in the U.S. Besides shielding tens of millions from deportation via an executive amnesty order, the president has also expanded the DOJ to help carry out part of this mission. It’s why the agency’s civil rights division has grown immensely under Obama. A few years ago Judicial Watch reported that the DOJ’s civil rights division launched a secret group to monitor laws passed by states and local municipalities to control illegal immigration. Because the measures are viewed as discriminatory and anti-immigrant by the administration, the DOJ has spent huge sums of taxpayer dollars to track them and legally challenge them as it did in Arizona.

The federal tentacles have reached deeply into the workplace. A few years ago the DOJ civil rights division, under the leadership of renowned illegal alien advocate Thomas Perez, launched a plan to eliminate tests that supposedly discriminate against minorities in the workplace. The administration defines them as having a “disparate impact,” a racial discrimination created by the various written exams. The tests disproportionately screen out people of a particular race, even though they “present the appearance of objective, merit-based selection,” according to the Obama DOJ.

Last year a federal audit disclosed that the Obama administration was letting businesses that hire undocumented workers off the hook by drastically reducing fines and enforcement. During a three-year period the administration slashed by 40% the amount of fines collected from employers caught with illegal immigrants on their payroll, according to the probe which was conducted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General. This inconsistent implementation hinders the government’s mission to prevent or deter employers from violating immigration laws, the DHS watchdog wrote in its report. Now the DOJ is taking it a step further by going after employers that try to ensure their workers are in the U.S. legally.

:evil: Obama is the Devil himself!!!! he Robs Americans and gives to the Illegals!!! Then he Punishes American Employers for trying to enforce the Law, and keeping our jobs safe, from trespassers( Illegals). Illegals get Work Permits, then when they expire, they never go home where they came from, they move from State to State using false ID's, so they can steal more jobs. That's how it works. I keep praying and praying that Obama get's punished big time, and we find a true and faithful President who will protect and support America, not the Enemy! within. I just might vote for Trump!!!. What about you?

Where do illegals get false ID's? Do they use a crayon and nice quality paper to create them...or do they buy them from someone...like a nice "white" person who just makes a little money on the side creating fake ID's. Are you really so deluded you can't see that?

Arrest anyone providing false I.D. , is that not illegal , follow the laws on the books and the ILLEGAL Invasion will stop! Oboma is the leader of a thug mentality , are you so deluded you can't see that?

I continue to belabor the point...

Illegals come to the US and participate in our economy and are aided by Americans. Maybe they feel sorry for them. Maybe, their long stay resulted in a friendship. We help them by finding them jobs that no one else wants. Would you leave the US just because Canada had better welfare programs? Really?

When you shutdown that pipeline for illegals to get a fake ID and give them a roof...you will end the problem.

NIS needs to do no more than harass: builders, farmers and meat packers...jobs that no American wants...for the most part.

While I know you don't care--the reason the company was busted was because it was suppose to verify the immigration status of ALL employees not simply those it thought might be illegal. This is why the company coughed up $200K instead of fighting the ruling. Had the company ACTUALLY complied with US employment laws, as all US companies are suppose to do, no actions would ever been taken.

What I find so ironic about this is that Cons are continually wanting Obama to enforce the law and when he does you throw a tantrum like 2 year olds. The specific law the company broke is here:http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1324b.

DOJ was following the law. I think you meant to say: follow the laws conservatives like, correct!

Hey if this is correct, I stand corrected, my apoligy's.

Why would US citizens need to supply immigration status? The company did only require immigration documentation for non-US citizens, but how did they determine who was a citizen and who wasn't? If you are a US citizen, a company would not need to verify your immigration status.. so where is the violation? You seem to have missed the step where they determined who was a US citizen and who was not. The whole purpose of the I-9 information is to conclude that a potential employee is eligible to work in the country. Once it is established you are a US citizen, no other documentation is necessary. If you are not a citizen, it must be determined that you are eligible to work.

As to the meat company caving on the $200K fine... probably cheaper than paying an attorney to argue it and drag out the proceedings.
