DOJ Fines Denver Sheriff Dept For Only Hiring U.S. Citizens for Deputy Positions

[TooTall]

The law itself violates the law. It is STUPID to hire non citizens before citizens. No wonder you libtards are viewed as mental midgets.

Liberals hate america and that one thought determines everything they do.

It's a Reagan era law. Why did Saint Ronnie let that come to be? Why didn't the supposed great America firster Republicans change the law over the past 30 years? Too busy blocking Obama and panty sniffing to notice?

It took the Obama Administration to enforce it unless you have an example of any former Administration being that chickenshit.

You're complaining about the Obama admin enforcing a republican law?

That is absolutely correct!

You are wrong and simply in denial. It's a shame this didn't go to court where the ruling would have proven you wrong. I doubt Trump's administration will be nearly so quick to abuse it's authority as Obama's has been.

I'm not the one in denial. The lawyers for Denver and the Sheriffs office examined what happened, the DOJ investigated what happened, notified the Sheriffs office and both parties agreed that the Sheriffs actions were illegal discrimination. There was no need to go to court because they Sheriff knew his was in the wrong.

THEY are the ones that agreed to change policy when the law was explained. Hence the only $10,000 fine and the requirement to ensure those that are involved with hiring decisions are properly trained.

I imagine Denver considers itself a local government.

Denver is a local government, the Sheriff - while an agent of the local government - does not have the authority to make such laws or regulations.

I provided the link to Denver's municipal code and you even admitted their was nothing in their providing the Sheriff with the required exception. The Sheriff's hiring discriminatory policy within his department was not a law or regulation under the exception clause of the United States Code linked to earlier.

OK - but that's just a department policy, right? It's not a law and that's the issue here.
