| Just Us Dept Tries To Pressure AZ Community Colleges |
| 2010-08-30 |
| The Maricopa Community College District requires authorized foreign workers to submit additional credentials to insure that their identification is legitimate, which they do not require from US citizens seeking employment with them. The Justice Department labels this as discriminatory, and has filed a lawsuit to prevent it. The Immigration and Nationality Act requires employers to treat authorized workers in the same manner during the hiring process, regardless of their citizenship status. A Boston Globe article attributed Barack ObamaÂ’s win in the 2008 U.S. Presidential election to a marked reduction over the preceding decades in the percentage of whites in the American electorate, attributing this demographic change to the The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. The article quoted Simon Rosenberg, president and founder of the New Democrat Network, as having said that the Act "Set America on a very different demographic course than the previous 300 years." |
