“So, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that the TSA are doing the same thing.”
Boy, I hope they aren’t. That would be like mandating that a certain percentage of bank guards have criminal records.
What do you think goes on at our ports that the government is mandating that criminals be given jobs there? It’s the same thing.
I forgot to mention that it is not just criminals that are part of the hiring equation at the port of Los Angeles. They also require a certain percentage of the hires come from the local neighborhood, which means, “illegals”, because that is who lives in that neighborhood.
I was trying to look up the articles about the port agreement that was signed in Los Angeles and couldn’t find the originals, that explained the breakdown of what exactly the terms of the agreement meant.
What I did find is that they have reserved 10% of the jobs for local, “disadvantaged workers”, which they describe as felons and single mothers. I found that not only did they reserve the jobs at the Port of Los Angeles, but at other ports in CA as well as other projects which were receiving federal stimulus money, such as expansion of MLK hospital.
I’m willing to bet that employing “disadvantaged” workers is a federal mandate. Remember, a “disadvantaged worker can also be an “illegal worker”.
