Obama judge OKs lawsuit forcing companies to hire DACA recipients

[IsailedawayfromFR]

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."

Are we living in an alternate universe when illegals are forced on employers, in spite of federal laws which prohibit them being here in the first place?

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.


The company has a point, for this position.  However, they don't seem to say he's otherwise disqualified.  I'd rather he looked for honest work while he's here, than get public assistance in states where it's allowed.  This is what happens when someone promises to rescind the program and deport DACA people during the campaign, then 'evolves' and tells them not to worry, once they're in office.

Sure looks that way.

It is against the law to hire an illegal alien. Companies can be prosecuted for doing so.
Until the law is formally changed by Congress, nobody can be forced to hire illegals.
There is no Judge in America that has the authority to rewrite Federal Law from the bench.

Yet they do it all the time.

Well another major point is if the employee needs to travel out of country to do their job. They have no passport and cannot get one and if they leave the country they can't legally reenter it.
