ACLU and Labor Unions Sue to Halt "No match" Rules
This is totally unbelievable.
The AFL-CIO, the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Immigration Law Center and other groups announced Tuesday that they are suing the federal government to stop a recently announced rule designed to crack down on employers who hire illegal immigrants.
The lawsuit says that the rule “will threaten jobs of U.S. citizens and other legally authorized workers simply because of errors in the government’s inaccurate Social Security earnings databases,” according to a press release.
In addition, it says that the rule “violates workers’ rights and imposes burdensome obligations on employers who receive ‘no-match’ letters that inform an employer of alleged discrepancies between employee records and the Social Security Administration database.”
