Dick Clark's All-American Bandstand Discriminates Against All-American Workers, Alleges Complaint

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- It's hard to get much more all-American than Dick Clark, and it's hard to find a more
all-American town than Branson, Missouri. However, a complaint filed by the
Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) alleges that American workers at
Dick Clark's American Bandstand Grill (AB Grill) in Branson are being
discriminated against when it comes to hiring in favor of illegal alien
workers. AB Grill, founded by the legendary American Bandstand emcee's
production company, was recently purchased by another American success
story, Daniel Snyder, owner of the Washington Redskins.

IRLI, as the only public interest law firm in the United States devoted
exclusively to protecting the rights and interests of U.S. Citizens in
immigration-related matters, filed a complaint on November 28, 2007, with
the Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment
Practices of the U.S. Department of Justice, on behalf of a former employee
of the AB Grill who was fired because he threatened to expose this self
proclaimed all-American establishment. This employee threatened to notify
federal immigration authorities of the blatant violations of federal
immigration laws.

"American workers, all across the country, have suffered job loss, lost
wages and overt discrimination as a result of large-scale illegal
immigration and a consistent failure of the federal government to hold
employers accountable," noted Sharma Hammond, IRLI staff attorney. "What
makes this case particularly deplorable is that the discrimination is being
practiced by a company and in a town that have prospered by portraying
themselves as icons of American culture and values."

The Immigration and Nationality Act prohibits not only the employment
of unauthorized aliens, but also makes it unlawful for companies such as AB
Grill to fire citizens and legal workers in favor of unauthorized alien
workers. The complaint filed by IRLI seeks back pay wages for the former
employee who endured this unlawful termination, modest attorney fees and a
requirement that the AB Grill enroll in the on-line E-Verify Program
(formerly the Basic Pilot Program) - to verify that all future employees
will be legal workers.

"In 1957, the American Bandstand television program gave us the Hand
Jive," noted Mike Hethmon, general counsel for IRLI. "Fifty years later,
the American Bandstand Grill is just feeding us a lot of offensive jive
about not being able to find legal workers to fill jobs in the restaurant,
when even a Missouri mule could figure out that they are trying to pad
their profits by hiring illegal aliens. Eventually the law catches them."

Dixie, thanks for the link. It's nice to know they are working on behalf of "legal" citizens, unlike the traitorous ACLU.

This is good!!

It stated it worked for people who had suffered injuries form drunk drivers, etc.

It would be good if somehow the people who have lost loved ones, or been injured could be put in touch with these people - or they with the injured ones.

This may be just what we need.

Another sell out TRAITOR!

WAS THE CHEAP LABOR WORTH THE LOSS OF RESPECT FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MR. CLARK????!

Thanks for the link Dixie. I'd heard about them yesterday but didn't know the exact name.

As far as Dick Clark goes, I don't know how much he would know about this. Remember he had a massive stroke a few years ago. He probably has others handling these things under his name.

Employers who hire illegals DON'T care WHAT their FELLOW Americans think as LONG as their POCKETBOOK isn't affected!

"AB Grill, founded by the legendary American Bandstand emcee's (Dick Clark) production company, was recently purchased by...DANIEL SNYDER, OWNER OF THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS", so evidentally complaints now should be directed to Mr. Snyder rather than Mr. Clark.

Thanks for clearing that up.
