US Signs Agreement with Mexico to Protect Mexican Workers--Including Illegals

[DigitalDrifter]

RIP America.

CNSNews.com) – At a signing ceremony on Friday, the U.S. government, through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Mexican government to allow Mexican Nationals – regardless of immigration status – to “exercise their workplace rights.”
The MOU is consistent with the “core mission of this commission,” Mexican Ambassador to the United States Eduardo Medina Mora Icaza said, adding “that regardless of national origin or immigration status all workers have rights and there are processes to safeguard them.
“This is what makes this country so great,” the ambassador said.
The four-page memorandum states in the “Overall Objective” section, in part, that its purpose is: “to establish a collaborative relationship to provide Mexican Nationals in the United States with information, guidance, and access to education and training resources to help them understand and exercise their workplace rights, particularly with regard to reducing violations against them under the laws and regulations that are administered and enforced by EEOC.”
Those laws include Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act of 2008.
EEOC General Counsel David Lopez said at the event that it was fitting that the ceremony took place on the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. The MOU was signed by the Mexican ambassador and EEOC Chairman Jacqueline Berrien on her last day of service.
“Today we memorialize a relationship to help ensure this historic act and other antidiscrimination laws we enforce apply to all workers who live and work in this country,” Lopez said, adding it also was part of the commission’s “strategic enforcement plan through 2016.
“This redoubles our efforts to ensure even the most vulnerable workers are protected by the laws – even those who live and work in the shadows,” Lopez said.
The MOU, which is in place for three years, states that the EEOC will conduct an ongoing program of education and training to inform Mexican Nationals about their workplace rights and employers about their responsibility to follow anti-discrimination laws.
When CNSNews.com asked how employers who have broken federal law by hiring illegal aliens can be sued for discrimination or abuse, a spokeswoman said EEOC does not require “documentation” to handle a claim.
“Yes, under federal law, it is illegal for employers to hire undocumented workers,” Kimberly Smith-Brown told CNSNews.com via email. “However, when someone does come to us with a complaint, we will assist them with their claim.
“The EEOC does not ask the documentation status of anyone that comes to our offices,” Smith-Brown said. “An undocumented worker is afforded the same protections under the law as everyone else.”

Talk about bullshit.

so it's your opinion that those that are here and are mistreated by their employers should stay in the shadows, not come forward, and give their employer even more incentive not to hire citizens?

They should be shoved out of the country. They entered illegally. What part of the word ILLEGAL do you not get you moron.

These people have no rights here. They need to go back to Mexico or wherever the hell they came from.

Employers who knowingly hire illegals should be jailed. Meanwhile illegals should have no rights in a country they came to illegally.
These are not visitors, or tourists, they are here to steal jobs and plunder what they can from taxpayers.

Send them home, jail employers. Simple solution, but no one has the balls to implement it.

Any business that hires illegals should be prosecuted and the illegals should be kicked the hell out.

These people are here illegally and I could care less if everyone screwed them over. Thats the price they pay for wanting those American Dollars.

They have no rights here and are in this country illegally and your a moron.

I think illegals shouldn't be getting jobs and shouldn't be here illegally either.

That said though, this might be a bit of a mixed blessing. If the illegals have to get paid fed min wages and shit then they won't be undercutting American workers? Maybe (at least in American owned/patroned business) the employers would choose folks who spoke understandable English to please their customers?

Of course that could bite us in the ass if it's true that the Mexican's are far better workers than Americans, making it worth it for employers to pass over American workers...

I know, I've heard various theories on that, it's kind of what unions have been saying for years. Consider though, that as soon as you either make these people legal, or require the employer to give them worker rights, you'll just see another crop of illegals come in, and undercut the wages and rights of the current illegals.
Bottom line is, unless you bust some heads and throw the employers in jail, and deport the illegals, the cycle will just continue.

This paragraph in the article I find especially vile:

“Yes, under federal law, it is illegal for employers to hire undocumented workers,” Kimberly Smith-Brown told CNSNews.com via email. “However, when someone does come to us with a complaint, we will assist them with their claim.
“The EEOC does not ask the documentation status of anyone that comes to our offices,” Smith-Brown said. “An undocumented worker is afforded the same protections under the law as everyone else.”

Is that what you really meant to write? The discussion is about illegals.

HEY, you pond scum,cocksuckers.... you care so much about the fucking invaders, but NOT A WORD FROM YOU SCUM, or the SCUMBAG in the WH about.....

WHY wasn't HE part of this fucking DEAL?

As much as I agree, it's just not going to happen in our political climate. Therefore I attempt to find possible positives to make myself feel better about it.

Because he's an idiot that can't tell north from south.
The directionally challenged former marine will have his day in court

 

[ScienceRocks]

Why not just merge the countries and get it over with?

You're finally right on something, the shithead in the WH doesn't know we even have a southern border!

I know what you mean, this country is quickly becoming a place not worth even trying to stand up for. When you have such a huge portion of the population that agrees with shit like this and other absurd things, then at some point you just have to cut your losses and look for a way to get the fuck out.
