DhimmiDonk Threatens Co Over Possible Firing Of Illegals

Cintas warned against firing immigrant force

A Mississippi Democrat in line to become chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee has warned the nation's largest uniform supplier it faces criminal charges if it follows a White House proposal to recheck workers with mismatched Social Security numbers and fire those who cannot resolve the discrepancy in 60 days.
That's an interesting position to take, isn't it?
Rep. Bennie Thompson said in a letter to Cintas Corp. it could be charged with "illegal activities in violation of state and federal law" if any of its 32,000 employees are terminated because they gave incorrect Social Security numbers to be hired. "I am deeply troubled by Cintas' recent policy change regarding the Social Security Administration's 'no match' letters," Mr. Thompson said in the Nov. 2 letter. "It is my understanding that hundreds of Cintas' immigrant workers have received these letters. I am extremely concerned about any potentially discriminatory actions targeting this community."
Approx 400 letters, out of 32,000 employees. Sounds like Cintas isn't doing too badly - and following the law in following up on phoney SSN's, so what's Bennie's Beef?

Continued from Page 3

In June, President Bush proposed new guidelines concerning "no-match" letters from the Social Security Administration, saying he wanted to make it easier for employers to verify workers' eligibility and continue to hold them accountable for those they hire.
Makes sense.
The Department of Homeland Security followed up on that announcement yesterday, formally releasing new regulations to help businesses comply with hiring requirements intended to reduce the hiring of illegal aliens -- including setting guidelines for businesses when handling "no-match" letters from the Social Security Administration.
More sense. We're on a roll, here...
The proposed regulation is subject to a 60-day public comment period.
Fair 'nuff.
"Most businesses want to do the right thing when it comes to employing legal workers," said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. "These new regulations will give U.S. businesses the necessary tools to increase the likelihood that they are employing workers consistent with our laws. "They also help us to identify and prosecute employers who are blatantly abusing our immigration system."
Okay, right track...
But Mr. Thompson called the "no-match" letters a threat to workers who fail to reverify their information and called Cintas' actions a "rash enactment of a proposed DHS regulation." He said that by implementing "this incomplete regulation," Cintas could be in violation of federal immigration law. The seven-term congressman also said before the proposal becomes law, it must go through a rule-making process, "which could radically change the regulation or kill it all together."
Rash? 60 Days? Incomplete? There's a reasonable time-frame for "interested parties" to get their 2 cents in. Why does this give Bennie hives? Mebbe he wants the regulation delayed so he and his boyz get a shot at it, figure a few angles, scam a few bucks...
Cintas has issued letters to 400 employees in five states telling them they will be indefinitely suspended if they cannot resolve their mismatched Social Security number within 60 days. "Cintas, like all employers, has a legal obligation to ensure all employees are legally authorized to work in the U.S.," the firm said in a statement. "Cintas has not terminated any employees due to the Social Security mismatches and plans to continue its policy of placing these employees on indefinite leave until they produce the required documentation."
Stop being so reasonable, Bennie'll just get hinkier, methinks.
In his letter, Mr. Thompson said his "apprehension" over the proposed policy was echoed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which said the proposal could result in "circumstances in which employers have incentives to take actions that violate ... non-discriminatory provisions." As Homeland Security Committee chairman, he would set the panel's agenda. Earlier this month, he also said Democrats planned to "revisit" legislation mandating 698 miles of fencing on the U.S.-Mexico border and might seek to scrap the plan.
I'll betcha he's gonna be one of the crown jewels of the DhimmiDonk House.
Under existing rules, when a Social Security number does not match a name on a tax or employment eligibility document, the government sends a "no-match" letter asking that the discrepancy be resolved. Of 250 million wage reports the government receives each year, as many as 10 percent belong to employees whose names do not match their Social Security numbers. "Identifying businesses that are habitually flagged for submitting mismatched Social Security numbers would bolster our worksite enforcement efforts," Mr. Chertoff said.
Chertoff - you're toast, son.

#2 Just because they lied on their job application, falsified legal documents, sidestepped the immigration process, and willfully manipulated the social security system isn't any reason to fire them.

They should be stood up against a wall and executed by firing squad.

#4 Over on the Corner, one of the posters pointed to a story about a Georgia (I think) town that cracked down on illegals. One raid and stepped up enforcement resulted in an increase in income for the lowest-paid (legal) workers and a decrease in unemployment among blacks.

So here's my idea for a commercial:

"In [town], the city government decided it was tired of tolerating crime. They cracked down on the criminals and their patrons; they stepped up enforcement and conducted a single raid against lawbreakers. The result? Higher wages for the town's poor, more jobs for those in need.

The crime? Illegal immigration.

Now Democrat Bennie Thompson wants to punish companies for enforcing our immigration laws. He wants to make it illegal for employers to make sure the people they hire are here legally. He wants to make it harder for working Americans to get jobs, and easier for employers to pay substandard wages.

It's time to tell the Democrats NO. No more illegal immigration. No more punishing the law-abiding."

#5 I actually know something about this legally. The employer has to give notice (like a letter) to the employee so they can clear up the error. If the employee fails to provide a valid SSN then the employer can terminate them. Using the wrong SSN to gain employment is a FEDERAL crime so is Rep. Bennie Thompson suggesting that we disobey Federal law? I did some data mining for California to help identify some SSNs that were being used illegally.

#6 I am extremely concerned about any potentially discriminatory actions targeting this community."

Clearly, the Document Fraud Community has suffered these discriminatory practices long enough. Why sometimes it takes up to a year to get your hands on authentic looking false documents. And that shit aint cheap. So how is somebody supposed to pay for them if they are *gasp*suspended from their job? And rumor has it that some of these poor folks haveshall we sayquestionable citizenship status. Christallfridayshow much injustice can they endure? Its refreshing to see that the new chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee has his priorities in order.

#7 RC: Georgia seems to be getting its house in order on the State level. Sonny Purdue (Governor) recently passed some of the toughest State laws against illegals getting Medicare/Welfare/Food Stamps/etc at the State level w/o proof of citizenship. And, now the Counties are getting in on the act. Cherokee County (NW Atlanta suburbs) recently enacted a County Ordinance to require rental properties (Apartment complexes, Condos, Townhomes, etc.) to verify legal resident status before renting a unit to illegals, or else face stiff fines. BTW, Cherokee County is home to the City of Kennesaw, who has a City Ordinance on the books to REQUIRE all residents within City limits to have guns on their premises. Not that it's actually enforced, or anything (probably a hold-out ordinance from the Reconstruction days), but it's funny that it's still on the books. Needless to say, not much crime there, as all the citizens are armed.

#8 Actually, the Kennesaw GA law is of fairly recent origin - passed in 1982 as a reaction to the Morton Grove banning of all firearms within city limits.

#9 I stand corrected. Thanks, Shieldwolf.
