Dipy:
Excerpt
The E.E.O.C. said Tuesday that illegal immigrants who are dismissed or discriminated against because of their race, sex, age or religion should enjoy the same remedies as legal workers -- back pay, punitive damages and even reinstatement, but reinstatement coming only if they have first obtained legal work papers.
JPR's note
Hey Dipy: Here is something AMERICA SHOULD BE PROUD OF. Do you think illegal immigrants
deserve some basic rights, YES or NO
DIPY says
If by "basic rights", you mean the right to stay in the US, then it is a "no"; if you mean the right to be treated as human beings before being sent back, then it is a "yes".
JPR's response: Thanks for your response By basic rights, I mean schooling, a work permit until the case is resolved, and all the other rights except voting ?
The term "Illegal immigrants" applies mostly to & is an euphemism for South American and immigrants from third world countries. Illegal immigrants from Ireland, Eastern Europe are by law illegal immigrants but in practice immigrants who somehow slip the net or just plain not noticed. If you go to the pubs you may see our friendly illegal Irish work there. I welcome them, but they are very rarely noticed or caught.
Now see the politics of illegal immigration.
Excerpt
Several critics suggested that the Clinton administration pushed the
E.E.O.C. to embrace this new policy as a way to win support for Vice
President Al Gore's presidential campaign among three important
Democratic constituencies: labor unions, minorities and immigrants.
The A.F.L.-C.I.O., which endorsed Gore two weeks ago, has pushed
hard for the E.E.O.C. to adopt this policy, arguing that failure to enforce
discrimination laws for illegal aliens encouraged employers to hire them
and undercut workplace conditions for all workers.
