DOJ Fines Denver Sheriff Dept For Only Hiring U.S. Citizens for Deputy Positions
Law Newz ^ | 11/22/2016 | Rachel Stockman

Posted on 11/22/2016 7:44:34 AM PST by detective

The Justice Department reached a settlement this week with the Denver Sheriff Department, after they allegedly discriminated against work-authorized immigrants by only considering the applications of U.S. citizens.

“The Denver Sheriff Department discriminated based on citizenship status by requiring applicants for deputy sheriff positions to be U.S. citizens and publishing job postings with U.S. citizenship requirements, in violation of the INA (Immigration and Nationality Act),” a statement from the DOJ reads.  INA prohibits employers from limiting jobs to U.S. citizens (except where they are required to do so by law).

Yes, they can change laws to suit them, so can we.

I would think very few green-card holders would be interested. Most of them are in professional jobs.

At any one time there are 15 million green card holders in the US. We take in 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants every year. They are all issued green cards. After five years, they can apply for naturalization. 20% of the legal permanent immigrants we bring in annually lack even a high school diploma. The vast majority of green card holders are not professionals.

Won’t it be nice, for a change, to have people in charge of the country who aren’t enemies of it?

This sounds like total bs to me. When I was hired by the US Border Patrol in 1984 it was a requirement to be a US citizen and at that time the BP was part of the DOJ. The INA currently being cited was enacted in 1952. If the existing law says you can’t limit employment to US citizens, how did an agency under DOJ control get away with it?

"Ignore the DOJ and don’t pay any fine."

Yeah...that's the best idea.... Call the magic negroid and tell him to hold his breath until he gets the money....

Challenge the fines in court and the case will not be heard until next year.

Next thing we know, the new applicants won’t even have to speak English. I think its time for anyone who is connected with the DOJ needs to be screened to see if they have all their faculties before even being consider. Don’t have to be a citizen? That ruling is pure stupid, why not someone from ISIS then?.

Placing non-citizens in positions of authority is utterly unacceptable. The DOJ is behaving as enemies of the people.
