Under Obama's rules

It's now apparently illegal for employers to "discriminate" against illegal immigrants by asking them to prove their legal status.

The Obama Justice Department has no tolerance for such things.

From the Free Beacon:

The DOJ claims that Nebraska Beef Ltd., a Nebraska-based meat packing company, “required non-U.S. citizens, but not similarly-situated U.S. citizens, to present specific documentary proof of their immigration status to verify their employment eligibility.” 

After receiving pressure from the government, Nebraska Beef agreed to pay $200,000 in a civil penalty settlement and said they will establish an uncapped back pay fund for people who lost wages because they could not prove they are in the country legally.
