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.


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.

Nebraska Beef was fined for following the federal law to verify it was not hiring illegals.

They were fined based on treating people differently based on the color of their skin... Not for verifying they weren't hiring illegals.

Nice spin, though.

So how should employers determine if people are authorized to work in the US?

So someone tells an employer they are not from the US, if the employer then asks them to show that they are eligible to work in the US, that is discrimination. Wow, I don't know what to say about that.

Please point out in the article where skin color was mentioned. I'll wait. Are you not aware that we have citizens of every skin color?

Employer should check all his employees and not only the ones who claim to be non-us citizens.

Right-wing conservatism is a plague on humanity.

Racial/ethnic profiling should never be championed.
