Court Rules Illegal Aliens Can Sue over “Discriminatory Employment Policy” Requiring Green Cards

April 11, 2018

For the second time in a few years, a federal court has ruled that illegal immigrants can sue American employers that refuse to hire them because they require workers to be U.S. citizens or legal residents (green card holders). The latest blow to the rule of law was delivered by an Obama-appointed federal judge in south Florida, who handed a powerful open-borders group a huge victory in a case accusing a major U.S. company of discriminating against an illegal immigrant.

Though years apart, both lawsuits were filed by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), a leftist group that specializes in discrimination lawsuits on behalf of illegal immigrants and has Chicago ties to Obama. MALDEF pushes for free college tuition for illegal immigrants and lowering educational standards to accommodate new migrants. Its leadership refers to the U.S. government’s immigration enforcement effort as racist and xenophobic and says it’s racist to make English the country’s official national language and inhumane to protect the southern border with a fence. Both MALDEF victories involve plaintiffs who benefit from a special Obama amnesty known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) that shields nearly 800,000 illegal aliens under the age of 31 from deportation.

In the recent Florida case a Venezuelan immigrant, David Rodriguez, living in Miami is suing consumer goods corporation Procter & Gamble for refusing to give him a paid internship because he is not a legal resident or citizen of the United States. MALDEF filed the lawsuit last year in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Procter & Gamble requires citizenship and immigration status information on its applications and warns that candidates “must be a U.S. citizen or national, refugee, asylee or lawful permanent resident.” Rodriquez is neither and he quickly played the discrimination card after getting nixed as a candidate. In a statement MALDEFF’s president reminds that “work-authorized DACA holders are valuable contributors to our economy” and “should not have to face arbitrary and biased exclusions from employment, especially by large and sophisticated corporations like Procter & Gamble.”

Judge Kathleen M. Williams, a former public defender appointed to the federal bench by Obama in 2011, agrees, citing MALDEF’s other lawsuit in her ruling. In denying Procter & Gamble’s motion to dismiss Rodriguez’s lawsuit, Judge Williams claims the Venezuelan immigrant’s claims are “strikingly similar” to those in MALDEF’s 2014 suit against insurance company Northwestern Mutual in New York. In that complaint, a Mexican illegal alien protected by DACA alleged that Northwestern Mutual’s policy requiring him to have a green card because he’s not a U.S. citizen discriminated against him. Requiring the Mexican national, Ruben Juarez, to provide proof of legal residency imposed an additional burden that constitutes alienage discrimination, according to the complaint filed on his behalf by MALDEF. The federal judge hearing that case in New York agreed and, in a federal courtroom more than 1,000 miles south, Williams used the decision to justify hers.

“In Juarez, the plaintiff was a DACA recipient who was denied employment based on Northwestern Mutual’s policy to only hire U.S. citizens and green card holders,” Judge Williams writes in her ruling. “There, on strikingly similar facts, the court found that Northwestern Mutual’s policy impermissibly discriminated against a subclass of Iawfully present aliens.” The ruling continues to say that Procter & Gamble’s policy could be construed to discriminate against a subset of legal aliens, which are protected. It seems to agree with the illegal alien’s assertions that Procter & Gamble has a “facially discriminatory employment policy” for requiring candidates to furnish proof that they’re in the U.S. legally.

I certainly hope Proctor & Gamble will appeal this case.

Obama judge OKs lawsuit forcing companies to hire DACA recipients


April 12, 2018


In a case that looks likely to win in trial, a left-wing Obama-appointed judge has ruled that a 34-year-old Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipient, David Rodriguez, could lead a class action lawsuit to force a Fortune 500 company, Procter & Gamble, to hire DACA recipients on the same basis as Americans and legal recipients.



So much for the idea that DACA is just a stopgap measure of mercy, buttressed only by President Obama's executive order, to help supposedly innocent children who were brought here illegally by their parents. The left-wing activists who brought this suit, the Chicano militants of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, are dogged and determined to institutionalize it and make DACA participation every bit as good as citizenship and green cards.



The plaintiff, David Rodriguez, an illegal alien from Venezuela, who had to have been brought to the U.S. as a near adult, given his advanced age now (negating the claim that America "is the only country he knows"), argues that Procter & Gamble's policy of hiring only citizens, green card-holders, refugees, and asylees discriminates based on "alienage."



I read the petition for the class action lawsuit, which will cost P&G millions, and the leftist judge's go-ahead for it here and here. The company has argued that the problem with Rodriguez's status is that it's temporary.



Anyone who knows anything about large Fortune 500 companies with large average salaries knows that that presents a problem for them. Companies, after all, invest a great deal of resources in training their paid interns, which is the position 34-year-old Rodriguez applied for, and probably spend that kind of money only if they intend to hire. Someone whose immigration status could require him to move back home would be a risk for them. DACA, after all, is held together only by an executive order, which can be rescinded (although the courts have stepped in to prevent that, too). It's a two-year reprieve that can be renewed for another two years as things stand now, and that includes the right to work. MALDEF has now extended it to a right to be hired, and the courts are going along, making the temporary executive order-designated status suddenly as good as a real green card.



The leftist judge used this reasoning for her go-ahead:

Section 1981 provides in relevant part, "AII persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall have the same right in every State and Territory to make and enforce contracts ... as is enjoyed by white citizens...'' 42 U.S.C. j 1981 (a). The statute prohibits discrimination based on race or alienage in the making and enforcement of contracts, including employment contracts. See Anderson B. Conboy, 156 F.3d 167, 170, 180 (2d Cir. 199.

So going from the soft, sappy "can work" of the Obama order to an ironclad "right to be hired" seems to be the name of the left-wing game. Will they win? Seems like it. And millions will go to not just Rodriguez, but all of the illegals, given that it's a class action lawsuit, and P&G is a big company with a lot of applicants, and there have been similar rulings from other judges for this one to glom onto. The suit says they are seeking relief based on salaries that would have been paid, suggesting quite a payout to those who never bothered to apply for citizenship and got a favor as potential Democratic votes from Obama.



So much for rule of law. As the old Border Patrol saying goes, "it ain't over 'til the alien wins." Being a DACA recipient sounds profitable, indeed, but not exactly for "just doing the jobs Americans won't do." Not in this day and age of upside-down legal logic and left-wing judges.

Whoa!
The judges are a little late with April Fool's joke, huh?
