So JCP being called Racists or Discriminatory??? BS!!

Under the terms of the settlement, J.C. Penney will pay a civil penalty of $14,430 to the United States, provide $11,177.60 in back pay to the worker who filed the charge, train its staff and corporate human resources personnel, post notices informing workers about their rights, and be subject to departmental monitoring and reporting requirements.

"Employers should not impose unlawful and discriminatory burdens on employees based on their citizenship or immigration status during the reverification process," said Acting Assistant Attorney General John Gore. "It is critical for all employers to correctly train their employees on proper Form I-9 procedures at both initial hiring and reverification, and I am pleased that J.C. Penney has agreed to undertake such training."

I am a business owner. Penney's and even bigger business owner. An employer trying to make sure of a person's LEGAL status is fined by Justice Dept now??? WTF going on out there. Come here to NC, and look into practices of Tyson and other chicken plants, and big banks, landscapers and others who creatively and willfully still engage an underworld of illegal people so their profits stay artificially inflated... Follow the lobbyists and money.
