SOCIAL SECURITY NO-MATCH LETTERS AFL-CIO LAWSUIT-HOMELAND SECURITY


If its not Politicians or Corporations its Unions. The Homeland Security Safety recipe. For added extra flavor, just mix in a dash of ACLU and a cup of the Department of Labor with a sprinkle of Immigration Attorneys, baste Illegals and serve hot. Keep plenty of wipes on hand for this mess.

How Made In America Union Label has changed.
Unions and their profitable concubine membership with Illegal Aliens aided by the US Department of Labor mix.

Story Highlights

Government letters are to outline penalties for knowingly hiring illegal immigrants

Unions say letters violate workers' rights and unfairly burden employers

Judge will revisit case of the "no-match" letters October 1

U.S. District Judge Maxine Chesney granted a temporary restraining order prohibiting the so-called "no-match" letters from going out as planned starting Tuesday.

The AFL-CIO lawsuit, filed this week, claims that new Department of Homeland Security rules outlined in accompanying letters threaten to violate workers' rights and unfairly burden employers. Chesney said the court needs "breathing room" before making any decision on the legality of new penalties aimed at cracking down on the hiring of illegal immigrants.

The Social Security Administration has sent out "no-match" letters for more than two decades warning employers of discrepancies in the information the government has on their workers. Employers often brushed aside the letters, and the small fines that sometimes were incurred, as a cost of doing business.

But this year, those letters are to be accompanied by notices from the Department of Homeland Security outlining strict new requirements for employers to resolve those discrepancies within 90 days or face fines or criminal prosecution if they're deemed to have knowingly hired illegal immigrants.

HAPPY LABOR DAY-DEPARTMENT OF LABOR DOES JOB ON AMERICANS


CORPORATIONS WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF NOW VERY RICH IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY'S:
REMEMBER THEIR CHANTS OF, "JOBS AMERICANS WON'T DO!"

WELL, IT NOW HAS A WHOLE NEW MEANING.


LOW-BALLING AMERICANS OUT OF THEIR PROFESSIONS

Here's the best part: If qualified U.S. workers apply for a position, but then decline because the offer is too low or doesn't offer benefits, DOL deems that "no qualified Americans are available." See page 2 of the ABS ELECTRONIC Ruling - applicants #2 and #3 were qualified, but declined the job because it didn't offer any benefits. Hiring foreigners rather than increasing an offer or providing benefits to what the market will bear clearly "adversely affects the wages of similarly employed U.S. workers," in violation of 8 U.S.C. 1182.

Supply and Demand can fill virtually every job in the U.S.A. This rubber-stamp sham that thwarts market labor forces and undermines U.S. workers should be suspended immediately.
But it only gets worse. DOL intends to transfer the certification of aliens to work in the U.S. to a private contractor. (Rumor is that this private contractor has picked up 20,000 cases from SF to begin "processing." ) DOL is instituting a PERM process that will issue permanent labor certifications in as little as seven days. SEE: The Changing Face of Labor Certification

The largest user of RIR to convert H-1B to Green Card in this region is Intel. They claim that there are dozens of positions in Folsom that they cannot fill with Americans. Yet they have not run a help wanted in the Sacramento Bee for over a year, and have laid off U.S workers. They have not recruited at CSUS.

8 USC 1182 (5) (A) labor certificate
Before a foreign worker can be admitted to the U.S. for permanent employment, the prospective employer must obtain a labor certification from the Secretary of Labor. The Secretary must certify that there are not sufficient U.S. workers who are able, willing, qualified and available, and that the employment of an immigrant foreign worker will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.
