Homeland Security Sued By The AFL-CIO and ACLU
More insanity from the ACLU and The AFL-CIO
Cross posted with Stop The ACLU :
The AFL-CIO and ACLU yesterday sued to stop the Homeland Security Department from cracking down on illegal-alien workers, asking a federal judge to halt new checks on employees’ Social Security numbers because they could violate workers’ rights and lead companies to preemptively fire American workers. The labor union federation and the civil liberties group are the latest critics to attack the new rules, arguing that because of errors in the Social Security database, U.S. citizens and legal immigrants will get caught up in the process, and businesses will use it as an excuse to go after legal workers.
“This rule is a new tool to repress workers’ rights in the name of phony immigration enforcement,” said John Sweeney, president of the AFL-CIO….
Under the new rules, DHS says employers should give employees 90 days to rectify the error and then fire the employee. In the past, many employers were advised by lawyers to ignore the “no-match” letters. The groups that filed the lawsuit said businesses have used no-match letters as a basis of firing employees who have complained about workplace conditions or suffered on-the-job injuries.The new rule goes into effect Sept. 14.
The AFL-CIO and the ACLU filed their suit with the U.S. District Court in San Francisco, part of the 9th U.S. Circuit, which has a reputation for favoring the rights of immigrants and illegal aliens….
Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke said the department is going ahead, and called the lawsuit “an obvious attempt to impede the department’s ability to enforce our immigration laws. “It is completely without merit and we intend to fight it vigorously,” Mr. Knocke said
Illegal immigration will be the downfall of America and the unions along with the ACLU among other liberal organizations bear the brunt of the blame for this outrage.

Well how convienent, the Teamster’s have lost their family jewels too. So they are going to hook up with the ACLU. Are they all going to wear matching pink ruffle panties too? Good Lord, are they going to wear Maryjanes on the docks while they give the illegals their jobs? Are their trucks going to be pink with cute little horns on them?
You know something I think we should nominate Ron White for president. At least he will tell them what the rest of us think.
How sad. Now they are going to sit back and let the Mexican trucks roll over them and us? Never thought I would see the day. How sorry sad can they be?
When I see them all skipping down the yellow brick road arm in arm, I will just shoot the tv. I won’t need one of their trucks to bring me another one. This just bears out what I have thought about unions all a long. If your a screw up, they are there for you. If you dont’ screw up and do your job don’t bother them. They don’t want to know you.
