No jobs for US citizens without Homeland Security approval
Submitted by Canada IFP on Sat, 2007-05-26 18:00.Americas | United States | News

US citizens who apply for a job will need prior approval from Department of Homeland Security under the terms immigration bill passed by the Senate this week.

American Civil Liberties Union pointed out that the DHS's Employment Eligibility Verification System (EEVS) is error plagued and if the department makes a mistake in determining work eligibility, there will be virtually no way to challenge the error or recover lost wages due to the bill’s prohibitions on judicial review.

Even current employees will need to obtain eligibility approval from the DHS Within 60 days of the Immigration Reform Act of 2006 becoming law.

3. Yup - Here's the ACLU press release

<snip>

The proposed legislation would require every job applicant in America to have their eligibility to work verified by the DHS, using the error-plagued Employment Eligibility Verification System (EEVS). EEVS creates a massive government database containing extraordinary amounts of personal information on everyone in America, tied to each individual’s Social Security number. If DHS makes a mistake in determining work eligibility, there will be virtually no way to challenge the error or recover lost wages due to the bill’s prohibitions on judicial review.

As a part of EEVS, every person in America would be forced to carry a hardened Social Security card perhaps containing biometric information about the cardholder - essentially a national ID - and present a Real ID-compliant driver’s license to get any new job. The proposed legislation also expands current practice of expedited removal. The ACLU noted that these policies do nothing to solve the problems of illegal immigration and violate the fundamental American value of due process.

6. K&R

Can the need for passports for traveling between states be far behind?

Not if this gang isn't ousted from power.

[wakeme2008]

7. K&R this hurts me a lot

I work contracts and now I will have to wait until DHS says it is OK for me to start work.. :grr:

8. Your papers, Show me your papers. I demand to see your papers

You say you don't you don't have papers? To the stalag with you!

Sounds more like Nazi Germany every day

9. I don't think so

I just went through the bill. It speaks plainly of aliens and not U.S. citizens.

*on edit: You can never be too paranoid with these freaks at the helm. :thumbsup:

10. This bill has not been "passed by the Senate"

Cloture was invoked. But bill hasn't been put to a vote yet.

11. I think this is front page material.

Aside from the fact that it appears to be unconstitutional on its face, it also looks like a way to silence critics. I mean, we know about the professor who wound up on the no-fly list as a result of criticizing the administration, this is a whole new level of being fucked with. The no-fly list is so evidently politicized that it seems like a tool of retaliation.

Imagine exercising your right to free speech and saying something critical, then ending up on the no-work list. If you can't officially work, then you either go broke and lose your house, or you work under the table and they can bust you for tax evasion and violating this new act.

Of course, this is given to DHS, as if it doesn't have anything better to do. The ports aren't inspected, Freepers are mailing anthrax and walking around at rallies armed to the teeth with explosives, Liberty University students are planning sprees, and inspection forms are being faked at airports because the screeners are too busy to do the work. But they have nothing better to do than sit down and verify your eligibility to work. It also seems like a very back-door way to get around the stalled Real-ID act.



They now have a hold over you far more powerful than a simple no-fly list, they have the power to screw you into the ground. The saddest thing is that this might not even happen out of malice, but instead if they're too damn lazy to implement it correctly.
