"The Justice Department reached a settlement this week with the Denver Sheriff Department, after they allegedly discriminated against work-authorized immigrants by only considering the applications of U.S. citizens.
“The Denver Sheriff Department discriminated based on citizenship status by requiring applicants for deputy sheriff positions to be U.S. citizens and publishing job postings with U.S. citizenship requirements, in violation of the INA (Immigration and Nationality Act),” a statement from the DOJ reads. INA prohibits employers from limiting jobs to U.S. citizens (except where they are required to do so by law)."
Looks pretty straight forward to me.
Absolutely. This is a straight forward attempt by the Federal government to exceed it's authority which is what you get when you have a racist president and AG. A Sheriff is an elected
local government official: not federal. His hiring practices are dictated by local government and his own discretion;;again not federal. The Civil Rights Act applies in matters of race. Non-citizens are not a race.
It is a crime to hire an illegal alien.
Illegal aliens are criminals by definition. Hiring one is a criminal act. Hiring a criminal to enforce the law is idiotic
Requiring their hiring is obviously unConstitutional.
This should get tied up in the courts until we get a sane federal administration.
