'Just mean': New Texas rule requiring proof of legal status threatens workers
Texas agency now requires proof of legal status to apply or renew licenses, potentially disqualifying thousands of hairdressers, electricians, HVAC technicians and others professionals.
Texas should report people whose licenses cannot be renewed to ICE for deportation.
there's incentives for that.
"The 45-year-old was caught in a sudden shift by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation that now requires applicants to provide proof of legal authorization to be in the United States."
Oh no!
Oh yes.
Love this. Rest of the country needs to follow suit now
I am so glad to see it.
A solid move. Expect the jobs reports to be a bit wonky for a while. Deportations may exceed job replacements and growth. NGOs are taking job hits as well.
I am sure. My neighbor's young daughter had to change job recently and within hours, she got another. Tell me about work.
Clearly an illegal!
Austin is a liberal city, and so is the article writer. Illegals are not immigrants, but rather criminals.
You got it. When I was looking to move from Washington, I was looking at Austin. My client told me not to go there. She even gave me an example from her uncle.
Don’t go to Austin!!Stay away from the blue shithole cities, there are plenty of nice suburban communities that are RED.
I was told the same thing.
Half of the California democrats now live in Austin.
While it’s a good move, why do we require a license to cut hair?
i personally know a retired Hair/boutique Inspector ,crazy aint it.
Public service control and theft.
Because the gubment requires a license to do everything. Gotta get that money from the licenses fee.
It's not only the money, it's control.
True
The barbers union did that. I learned that in barber school in the '60's.
Trust me, if there's no standard for something like that, I could set up an LLC and cut your hair. You would not be burning history books but burn down my business. I don't know how to cut hair. LOL
In Ireland there are literally thousands of “Turkish barber” shops, or as everyone knows, muslim money laundering operations.
They have zero restrictions on opening.
If an Irish person tried to open a hair salon, the bureaucrats would be up their ass looking for licences, permits and anything else they could gouge out of them.
Sick. I want to see licenses for only citizens. Should be that way.
I dunno, person with sharp objects working on the face and head area. Also, people working with chemicals that go on your head. Beauticians typically have to have at least some knowledge of chemistry, and human anatomy.
Now is the best time to do it. The Mortgage Interest rates are still way too high. It will take a while still to get them back down.
Now is the perfect time for citizens to get their training and licenses to replace the illegals and start building good houses. We need electricians, plumbers, roofers, builders - all of those types of jobs. Citizens have been almost frozen out from these jobs because illegals own so many contracting companies, or the ones owned by citizens only hire cheaper illegals. Those need shut down as well.
The young people around me here are all so skilled. I have a 19 year old hair dresser. She is so good.
Many more open positions for true Americans
Yes.
They never should have been given a license here in the first place!
Say that to the Dems please.
A 45 year old woman’s story. Nothing about how long she has been illegally in this country. I suspect that for decades, illegals got cozy here and had no incentive to work toward legal status, because their entire illegal communities have been working, getting licenses, living the American life without seeing the need for becoming legal citizens. Not on their radar until now, when states are starting to enforce laws, and ICE is coming into their communities. They haven’t had to think about it until now.
Amazing, isn't it?
It should have already been a rule, which means someone voted to remove the rule.
It should be investigated who that was and why.
Are you in Texas? Can you find out?
Sorry, indiana right now, but i can look it up. I still have friends down there, should be able to get some research done.
I am mostly doing medical stuff so some of you take up other stuff. LOL
