A California Reader Says
Local Southern California Governments Refuse To Verify
Workforce Eligibility
From:
Carl Olson:
[e-mail
him]
Many local governments in Southern California are
refusing to verify the eligibility of their thousands of
employees to work legally in the United States. Instead
of protecting the public and their own legal employees,
these governments side the illegal aliens.
Although all employers may use the Department of
Homeland Security’s free federal online “
Basic
Pilot Program” to verify employee eligibility, none
of the government bodies I have surveyed have done so.
Among them is the
Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District. School
board president and Democratic candidate for California
Assembly Julia Brownley confirmed to me that her
district does not use the Basic Pilot Program and does
not plan to adopt it in the future. (e-mail Brownley
here.)
I
have also presented the Basic Pilot Program to
Los Angeles Community College District, (e-mail)
the
Ventura County Board of Education (e-mail),
the
Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, (e-mail)
the
Pleasant Valley School District (e-mail)
and the
City of Port Hueneme (e-mail)
In
May, the
Los Angeles City Department of Water and Power found
eight illegal aliens who had been on its payroll for
three years in positions ranging from management analyst
to water sampling technician. The employees were from
Ethiopia,
Nigeria,
El Salvador,
Mexico, and the
Philippines. One illegal alien made $100,000,
according to the Associated Press. [
Undocumented
Government Workers, By Debra J. Saunders, San
Francisco Chronicle, September 17, 2006]
Thousands of legitimate government employees and
prospective employees are at risk when they have to
compete with the ultimate in resume padding---complete
illegality
The website for Basic Pilot Program is
here. I will continue to post my findings on other
government bodies I will survey on my
website.
