The executive action is nothing new to the US presidency.\u00a0 In fact, as many as 200 executive orders have been used by past presidents, so why is Obma\u2019s use of EA so controversial? George Washington was the ONLY president to never use the power of Executive Action.\u00a0 The problem for Obama seems to be the disregard for how the People voted on the exact same issue. The United States is a democracy, and as such the president is not supposed to be a dictator.\u00a0 The trouble here is that in two very big areas the country voted one way, and Obama seemed to say \u201cyou don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing, Ill fix this myself.\u201d Now we have Obamacare and Executive amnesty.<\/p>\n

So is this amnesty work permit program for illegal immigrants legal or not? \u00a0Hundreds of \u00a0thousands of permits have already been doled out even as supreme court\u00a0 judges issue a moratorium on the funding to support the program. While the debate rages on, and the future of the permits remains unclear, if you are employed in California you have several protections in the workplace regardless of how this shakes out.<\/p>\n

The long list of labor codes upholding the standards for pay, safe work environment, fair hiring and employment practices and more, apply to ALL employees in the state of California. This is important because many employees don\u2019t realize they have protections from abuse if they are undocumented and they fail to report that abuse whether pay related or poor conditions or treatment, because they fear being reported and\/or deported. In California, all workers have rights; you cannot be threatened with your immigration status in order to force you to work for less money or in sub-standard conditions.<\/p>\n

If you are currently, or have been mistreated in the work place because you are an undocumented worker or even just because you were believed to be illegal, you need an excellent California Employment Lawyer. Not all attorneys are the same, and employment protections vary greatly from state to state.\u00a0 You should call United Employees Law Group before time runs out on your claim. We are here to help you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
