This is a subject of great familiarity to the Treehouse. It is not necessarily an Eric Holder / President Obama construct either.
According to EEO law it is unlawful to check the work authorization of any employment applicant, IF the screening has a disparate impact on a federally protected category of personage.  In reality the law, as applied, means you cannot check the employment eligibility of applicants if the screening creates disqualified applicants who are  disproportionately Latino (race discrimination); which they automatically will be.
Ergo -technically, and lawfully- you cannot screen applicants for residency or employment eligibility.   That is why fake documents are so easy for an illegal to use to gain employment; the employer is not allowed to check, or verify, their legitimacy.

(Via Daily Caller) A Texas catering business will pay the United States $26,400 for engaging in “citizenship-discrimination,” as part of a settlement with the Justice Department announced Tuesday.
Culinaire International unlawfully discriminated against employees based on their citizenship status, the Justice Department claimed, because it required non-citizen employees to provide extra proof of their right to work in the United States. (more…)

(Via The Examiner ) The Conservative Treehouse has done yeoman’s work exposing the Obama administration’s many machinations over the manufactured border crisis. In a report published at Accuracy in Media earlier this month, I described how the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) program of the Department of Health and Human Services has exploded, spending almost $700 million so far this year, more than double that of 2013. Much of the information described in that report was initially dug up by the Treehouse.
As we described in the report, many of these “children” were not in fact children, but young men and women, many of whom were gang members or being actively recruited by gangs. Largely unreported were the 200,000 plus illegal alien families accompanying these youths. The Treehouse has now uncovered evidence of deliberate manipulation of the UAC numbers conducted by the Obama administration. (more…)

To wit the hard-line moonbat liberal proclaims: If people won’t accept cultural assimilation on their own, the solution is to force the population to live in greater proximity to each other. Watch:

See the pontificating ooze of Marxism from the young moonbat?
Multiculturalism is stated by the audience to be a failed social experiment. Culturally, and carrying inherent contrasts in values, people are just different; and the little borg defender can’t stand the thought of it. So his solution: “force it upon them”.
Yet again proving that multiculturalism carried to its logical conclusion is antithetical to freedom.
It is no wonder why UKIP is on the rise and well positioned to destroy the professional political class in the UK.

The evidence of the fraud, within the totally false construct of a crisis with “Unaccompanied Alien Minors”, continues to mount.

We began documenting three months ago the “border crisis” of unaccompanied alien children, UAC’s, was a pure ruse, a figment. Constructed simply to create the optics of crisis and support the demand for comprehensive immigration reform prior to the congressional recess.
Evidence continued to mount week after week as we followed the money flowing out of the DHS and HHS agencies to various left-wing social constructs who were profiting from the scheme. Panic and alarm sounded as $3.7 billion was demanded by Obama to cope with the non existent “border crisis” – couched more favorably as a “humanitarian crisis”.
Last week we shared how the Federal Government had given up on “housing for UAC’s”, because there were no UAC’s to house.  We’ve previously proven the statistical manipulation by comparing DHS data to Immigration Court data.
Now here’s a report of what happens when these fully adult “UAC’s” register for school.  The children with grey hair and wrinkles who admit to being 35-years-old and OLDER.

(MoonBattery) When the media wants to advance its agenda by deifying sociopathic thugs like Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin, it portrays them as children or “teens.” Lately the same approach has been used to quell resistance to the massive hordes of Third World welfare colonists who have been illegally pouring across the undefended border. The whole farce has been taken so far that some of the needy foreign children who will be flooding American schools this fall have gray hair: (more…)

Initially we thought the item identified at the base of the drivers door was brass shell casings as a consequence of Officer Darren Wilson discharging his firearm while under assault by Mike Brown.  (click to enlarge)

We were wrong.
HatTip to Treeper LTC8K6 – According to his own statements and media testimony, accomplice Dorian Johnson said he was not involved in the physical confrontation at the SUV of officer Darren Wilson.
Additionally, in his various statements, witness Michael Brady had placed Dorian at the passenger side of the SUV approximately 5 feet from the front bumper.  But Brady readily admits he did not see the origination of the struggle, only the part where it got really loud, captured his attention, and he peered through his apartment window to witness Mike Brown punching Officer Darren Wilson through his SUV window.
Dorian Johnson has repeatedly claimed he was not involved in assaulting Officer Wilson.  Johnson blamed Mike Brown for the violence that occurred at the vehicle.
Logically this seemed to make sense because obviously when presented with two subjects officer Wilson identified Mike Brown as the greater of the two threats, and did not pursue Dorian – Wilson’s focus was on Big Mike Brown.
However, evidence now suggests that both Mike Brown AND Dorian Johnson were involved physically at the SUV in the initial struggle with Darren Wilson. (more…)

Last night British Prime Minister David Cameron delivered a stark and bold message to the people of Great Britain. ISIS represents a political ideology born in the space of non-governance, and fueled amid a raging ideology, that must be confronted and destroyed.
There is little nuance within his message. Two video’s – the first is the context of his position; the second is the expanded version to include questions and expanded explanations.
If you have enough time, watch the second video. If not, watch the shorter first one:

As we have repeated, the professional left and their cohorts in the liberal media know the reality of public sentiment is diametrically opposite from what they have been saying selling.  Elected officials are noticing in their town hall meetings…

(Via Truth Revolt) Pushback over the unprecedented influx of illegal immigrants is mounting across the country—not just in conservative border states, but also in California, Oregon, Colorado, and New York. Democratic and Republican lawmakers are finding their town hall meetings consumed by more and more constituents angered by Washington’s mishandling of immigration, most calling for a crackdown on illegal immigration and the securing of the southern border.
“I hear it everywhere I go,” said Greg Walden, an Oregon Republican and chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee. What once was mainly a conservative debate about immigration policies, Walden explained, has now “morphed into something bigger”: (more…)

Understanding The Origin Of The Mike Brown Narrative

When we first began digging in to the Mike Brown story something odd was immediately identifiable.    The individual witness statements, when compared over time, were case studies in the evolution of self-contradiction.
But why ?
It’s generally a true statement that eye witnesses testimonials can often be unreliable; but the statements of the people hitting the New York media circuit were beyond unreliable – they were contradicting themselves from show to show, often within hours.
A little research into the shooting aftermath and things begin to fall into place.

The primary witnesses used to create what we’ll call ‘the media narrative’ were and are:  Dorian Johnson,  Piaget Crenshaw, and Tiffany Mitchell.
A few days later Michael Brady surfaced, but Brady didn’t follow the same script – and we’ve discovered why.
To understand the origin of the “Hands Up” tale it helps to have a firm understanding of where each of the players are AT THE MOMENT the shooting took place.

Tiffany Mitchell was arriving to the apartment complex in her car to pick up Piaget Crenshaw for work.    Tiffany’s car pulled in as the shooting took place. (more…)

You just can’t make this stuff up:

(Via Judicial Watch)  The Department of Justice (DOJ) keeps giving radical leftist groups that support President Obama huge amounts of cash collected from big banks to settle discrimination and mortgage abuse lawsuits filed by the government.
Judicial Watch first reported the scheme two years ago when Countrywide Financial Corporation doled out $335 million to settle its discrimination lawsuit with the feds. The money was supposed to be distributed to more than 200,000 minority victims who supposedly were charged higher interest rates and fees than white borrowers based on their race not their credit. Instead, a chunk of the money went to Democrat-tied groups not connected to the lawsuit, including the scandal-plagued Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) and the open-borders National Council of La Raza (NCLR).
