Chicago Mayor Rahm
Emanuel Announces City Jobs, Internships Will Go to Illegal Aliens
by Warner Todd Huston 11 May 2014
In a recent proclamation, Chicago
Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced that he intends to give city jobs and internships
to so-called "DREAMers," youngsters in the country illegally.
In the announcement, Emanuel proudly
stated that "for the first time" Chicago is "opening up nearly 23,000
City-funded internship, volunteer, and job opportunities for undocumented
students, or 'DREAMers.'"
"DREAMers and DACA recipients
are assets that we need to nurture and develop like precious natural resources
for the benefit of the entire community," Congressman Luis V. Gutiérrez
(D-IL) says in the announcement. "They are an integral part of Chicago’s workforce of
tomorrow. Once again, the City of Chicago
and Mayor Rahm Emanuel are leading
the way on the inclusion of our immigrant communities."
The announcement goes on to lament
the "barriers" that illegal alien teens find to gaining city jobs:
In December 2012, the Chicago New
Americans Plan highlighted barriers that DREAMer students faced, including
language barriers and information gaps about the opportunities available to
them. These impediments have in the past served as an obstacle for these
students and their families, in some cases preventing them from accessing
critical enrichment programs.
It seems that one
"barrier" was not taken notice of – that these students are not
citizens and not legally eligible for such opportunities.
In the announcement, Emanuel also
promised to "eliminate administrative barriers to employment and
internship" for DREAMers and said that he is ordering city staffers to
help these students file for "deferred action documentation."
Mayor Emanuel also announced that
he is also going to "train" city authorities in how to aid illegal
alien applicants with paperwork and in how to get them government assistance.
The Mayor said, "The City
will begin training its staff to ensure they are well equipped to help immigrant students receive accurate and
helpful information about opportunities available to them."
"We are conducting tailored
training for City staff to provide Chicago's
DREAMers with opportunities to excel outside the classroom and obtain valuable
professional experience in City government," Department of Human Resources
(DHR) Commissioner Soo Choi said in the announcement. "With this training,
we can ensure that DHR and all City staff are well equipped to provide DREAMers
with the information they need so they can continue contributing to this city."
