It will be hard to prove. And the attempt at an "alienage provision" creating a new civil rights offense is bad policy and bad law. S. 1200 makes it an unfair immigrationrelated employment practice for a person or an entity to discriminate against any individual. except for an illegal alien. with respect to hiring or to employment recruitment on the basis of an individuals national origin. ethnic background. or citizenship status. In other words. if an employer or business discriminates either in hiring. or recruiting. or referring. except for an unauthorized alien. that employer would be liable in civil penalty for an unfair immigration employment practice. The bill does. admittedly. permit employers to choose a U.S. citizen or national over another alien individual when the applicants are equally qualified. but who is to determine the degree and the measure of qualification between one individual and another? On the other hand. the bill provides for a special counsel to investigate and prosecute claims of employment discrimination.
