Last week I found out that one of my classroom assistants is not a citizen but has a green card. She is mid-40's, divorced, and has 4 children ages 21-14, with only two at home. She has been in this country for over 20 years and has not gotten citizenship, yet she has a driver's license, SSN, and all the benefits of a US citizen. That's normal, around here. What got me thinking was employment. If the job came down to her and another person, with the same education/experience, who was a citizen, how would it end up? If she got the job, would it be Affirmative Action but if the other person got the job, would that be discrimination against non-citizens? If they are both Mexican decent but only one is a citizen, what would the outcome be and does citizenship get checked? Does this even make sense to anyone?

I may be up in the night on this, but as long as they can provide legal right to work, I wouldn't think it'd be an issue.Originally posted by Tick's wife View Post"Nobody listens to Turtle."-Turtlesigpic -
Agreed. If folks are here and can show proof that they're legal, it really doesn't matter if they're a citizen or not.Originally posted by Surfah View Post"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

As far as I understood my permanent residency, PR's have all the same rights and responsibilities as citizens except for Voting/Running for election, Passports and certain government jobs. There were also some other limitations such as how long you could leave the country for.Originally posted by il Padrino Ute View Post
I did have to register for the draft which I did a few months before my 26th birthday. You can also be called for Jury Duty.Comment
