AG Nominee Lynch: Illegal Aliens Have ‘The Right’ to Work In U.S.

(CNSNews.com) - Loretta Lynch, President Barack Obama’s nominee to be
attorney general, told the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday in her
confirmation hearing that illegal aliens have “the right” to work in the
United States.
Lynch, who is currently the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New
York, also declined to directly answer the question of whether as attorney
general she would take action against an employer who discriminated in favor
of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents by hiring them in preference
to illegal aliens.
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R.-Ala.) asked Lynch “who has more right to a job in
this country," citizens and legal permanent residents or illegal aliens?
“I believe that the right and the obligation to work is one that's shared
by everyone in this country regardless of how they came here,” Lynch
responded.
Sessions also asked her if she would take action as attorney general against
an employer who preferred hiring U.S. citizens and legal permanent
residents over illegal aliens.
“With respect to whether or not those individuals [illegal aliens] would be
able to seek redress for employment discrimination, if that is the purpose
of your question, again, I haven't studied that legal issue,” said Lynch.

Here is a transcript of the exchange between Sen. Jeff Sessions and attorney
general nominee Loretta Lynch on the employment rights of illegal aliens:
Sen. Jeff Sessions: Well, the president's action would give people who came
here unlawfully the right to work, the right to participate in Social
Security and Medicare when Congress has not done that, allows them to stay
for at least a period lawfully.
Let me ask you this: In the workplace of America today when we have a high
number of unemployed, we've had declining wages for many years, we have the
lowest of Americans working, who has more right to a job in this country? A
lawful immigrant who's here, a green-card holder, or a citizen, or a person
who entered the country unlawfully?
Loretta Lynch: Well, Senator, I believe that the right and the obligation to
work is one that's shared by everyone in this country regardless of how
they came here. And certainly, if someone here, regardless of status, I
would prefer that they be participating in the workplace than not
participating in the workplace. With respect to--
Sessions: So you think that a person that anybody that's here lawfully or
unlawfully is entitled to work in America?
Lynch: Senator, I'm not sure if I know, if I understand the basis for your
question as -- as to whether or not there's a legal basis for them to work
or not.
Sessions: I asked you, who had--we're talking about rights--who has the most
rights? Does a lawful American immigrant or citizen have the right to have
the laws of the United States enforced so that they might be able to work,
or does a person who came here unlawfully have a right to demand a job?
Lynch: Certainly, the benefits of citizenship confer greater rights on those
of who are citizens than those who are not.
Sessions: Well, do you think a person that's here unlawfully is entitled to
work in the United States when the law says that employers can't hire
somebody unlawfully in America?
Lynch: I believe that--go ahead.
Sessions: Go ahead.
Lynch: Sorry, sir. I think that certainly the provision that you refer to
regarding to the role of the employer in ensuring the legal status of those
who are here is an important one and that we have to look at in conjunction
with this issue in terms of preventing undocumented workers, who, as you've
indicated before, are seeking employment.
Again, we want everyone to seek employment, but we have in place at this
point in time a legal framework that requests or requires employers to both
provide information about citizenship as well as not hire individuals
without citizenship.
Sessions: Alright. Do you think that someone given--I understand that you
support the executive order and OLC's opinion. Is that correct?
Lynch: I don't believe my role at this point is to support or not support it
. My review was to see whether or not it did outline a legal framework for
some of the actions that were requested, and as noted, it indicated there
was not a legal framework for other actions that were requested.
Sessions: Well, let me wrap up by asking this: Are you--if a person comes
here and is given a lawful right under the president's executive amnesty to
have Social Security and a work authorization card, what if somebody prefers
to hire an American citizen first? Would you take action against them? Do
you understand this to mean that those who are given executive amnesty are
entitled as much as anybody else in America to compete for a job in America?
Lynch: Well, I don't believe that it would give anyone any greater access to
the workforce, and certainly an employer would be looking at the issues of
citizenship in making those determinations.
Sessions: Would you take action against an employer who says, ‘No, I prefer
to hire someone that came to the country lawfully rather than someone given
executive amnesty by the president?’ Would Department of Justice take
action against them?
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley: When you answer that, I'll move on
then.
Lynch: Thank you, sir. With respect to the provision about temporary
deferral, I did not read it as providing a legal amnesty, that is, that
permanent status there, but a temporary deferral. With respect to whether or
not those individuals would be able to seek redress for employment
discrimination, if that is the purpose of your question, again, I haven't
studied that legal issue. I certainly think you raised an important point
and would look forward to discussing it with you and using, and relying,
upon your thoughts and experience as we consider that point. | d*******p
