It is interesting, when @laylalex talks to herself, she keeps it very short.

I'm just being honest!   After all, is there a bigger sin than lying on the internet?

Well, there's not much to say to myself that I haven't heard already.

Best analysis of these new rules yet.  I guess illegal immigrants are much more important to the leaders of NYC than citizens and LPRs.

 

But the guidelines in fact go much further. They violate the constitutional rights of lawful New York residents in order to protect undocumented alien residents. What’s more, making it easier for undocumented aliens to live and work in New York illegally is prohibited by a federal harboring provision that makes providing such assistance a criminal offense.

Hiring practices

Federal law prohibits employers from knowingly hiring aliens who are not authorized to work in the United States. The objective is to eliminate the "job magnet" that draws undocumented aliens to the United States.

The New York guidelines restrict what employers can do to verify that a prospective employee has work authorization. For instance, the employer can't ask for additional documents if the prospective employee provides the required number of documents from the federal government's List of Acceptable Documents.

Also, reverification of employment authorization may result in fines, unless it is specifically authorized by federal law.

In other words, New York employers can be punished for taking additional steps to ensure that their alien employees are authorized to work in the United States.
