Illegal aliens, hired illegally, working illegally, now have Fed workplace protection

[Nynus]

Let me get this straight -- The U.S. Federal Government doesn't have the manpower to deport illegal aliens it deems "low priority" however it has the manpower to prosecute employers of illegal aliens that don't abide by U.S. Federal workplace laws.

First we have the DREAM Act by fiat, now we have illegals being protected by the government.

How fucking schizophrenic is this?

"No matter how you got here or how long you plan to stay, you have certain rights," U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said at Monday. "You have a right to a safe and healthy workplace and the right to a legal wage."

According to the Immigration and Nationality Act:

"employers may hire only persons who may legally work in the United States (i.e., citizens and nationals of the U.S.) and aliens authorized to work in the U.S."

And from The Labor Department website:

[the INA only protects]"U.S. citizens and aliens authorized to accept employment in the U.S. from discrimination in hiring or discharge."

What's the legal wage for an illegal worker?

So, we don't have enough resources to send them back when we find them, but we do have enough resources to protect their workplace rights?

Get a fucking clue!

Why not eliminate the supply AND demand. Let's do what the law says, if an illegal is caught, send them back. If an employer is caught knowingly hiring illegal aliens, put him in jail AND send the illegals back.

If you don't like it, LEGALLY try to change the law and let's have a debate about that. This backdoor amnesty and protection shit is a waste of my money.

You are soooo right on !!! I keep saying things are sad, but ladies and gentlemen, it will get worse if American does not wake up !!!

[billynomates]

Haven't they got human rights? May have family there, may like the view from their yard, may prefer the cloud formations- and you want to deprive them of that right! Shame on you.

[billybob]

Yep, shame on me !!! We ned to take care of every one in the world !! If they want to be taken care of, I have an idea, let them become legal. but noooooo, come on over, the taxpayers will take care of them.

[billynomates]

That's the spirit Billybob! Welcome them with open arms, the welfare system may not be so good where they come from and some countries don't even give money to the pple who refuse to work.
Expect them to, now that is taking the piss, asking someone to work.

From what I gather this has the credibility of your " Lady friend" with three children making 12.50 per hour fabrication.

If we do lack the funds and resources to enforce policy .. then what would you suggest we do ... other than cut taxes for the rich.

If you are sooo .. upset by this wouldn't you be equally concerned that we under fund the FDA ... FDA underfunded, industry says

But .. with real issues hidden under the guise of illegal 's, I can see the obvious .. and that is you are a racist bigot. And you one a reason why this country is falling apart and that is you will vote for anyone who will do more to keep out the people who pick your food than fund money so those who hire them can contaminate your food.

[billynomates]

and that is you are a racist bigot

Here we go again- words like racist thrown about-look at yr slogan Nikki! Princess Eugenie (I think it's her-not certain cos I don't really care) but you accuse of her horrible things. why? she never asked to be born into the royal family (maybe she did- that's what we find out when we're dead).
But you are the most racist bigoted person I've ever met,

[billynomates]

and it was at Prince William's wedding- who married the daughter of an air hostess. yeah it the old days the Royals inbred nearly as much as the mormons- the Royals have changed!

[billybob]

Nikki, there is not one thing that called for you to call anyone a racist bigot !!!! We are talking legal and illegal, I am starting to believe as Billy, you are the racist, you try to turn everything into that.

Not racist, not bigoted, just facts

From the Associated Press:

Many illegal immigrants who were facing deportation despite having no criminal record will be allowed to stay in the country and apply for a work permit under new rules from the Homeland Security Department.

"From a law enforcement and public safety perspective, DHS enforcement resources must continue to be focused on our highest priorities," Napolitano wrote in the letter. "Doing otherwise hinders our public safety mission - clogging immigration court dockets and diverting DHS enforcement resources away from individuals who pose a threat to public safety."

That sounds to me like Napolitano is saying we can't send everyone back that breaks the law by being here, so we'll only send back the "bad ones" that break the law AFTER they break the law by being here.

Now about the DREAM ACT being put into place by executive fiat

Also from the Associated Press:

ICE Director John Morton responded to some critics in June with a six-page memo to ICE agents outlining when and how discretion should be used. That guidance covered those potentially subject to a legislative proposal, known as the DREAM Act, intended to give young illegal immigrants who go to college or serve in the military a chance at legal status.

Morton also suggested that agents consider how long someone has been in the United States, whether immediate family members are U.S. citizens and whether that person has a criminal record. [emphasis added]

In other words, ICE is implementing the DREAM act qualifications in order to determine which illegal immigrants they deport and which one's they let stay.

A scan of John Morton's memo to ICE Agents can be found on ICE's web site here. http://www.ice.gov/doclib/secure-com...etion-memo.pdf


Fact -- Napolitano and Morton in these memos have set in place a prioritizing of deportations due to the lack of resources available to deport illegal immigrants.



Now let's take a look at the agreements that Labor Secretary Hilda Solis has penned with many Latin American Countries shall we?

Here's her own words:

“No matter how you got here or how long you plan to stay, you have certain rights. You have the right to be safe and in a healthy workplace and the right to a legal wage. We gather here today to strengthen our shared commitment to protect the labor rights of migrant workers in the United States. […]

These are pledges between our governments to work together to educate migrant workers about their labor rights."[…]

“We understand that many migrant workers in America are afraid to report mistreatment because it can lead to more abuse, the loss of job, a job, or deportation. With these partnerships we seek to remove those fears.”[emphasis added]

Fact -- Solis is dedicating governmental resources to protect illegal immigrant labor rights.


Now lets look at those two facts:

We don't have the resources to deport illegal aliens when they are caught breaking the law by being here, and yet we are dedicating resources to protect illegal aliens that are working illegally.


No racism, no bigotry, just pissed about how fucking stupid out Government is sometimes. If you want amnesty for illegals, or a different immigration policy, pass a law. Until then, enforce the law.
