UC faces lawsuit for following federal law, stopping illegal aliens from being employed on campusThe University of California is being sued for a policy that, in compliance with federal law, does not allow illegal alien students to work at the campus.UC President Michael Drake announced the decision to not hire illegal alien students in January, according to EdSource. He spoke about the potential legal consequences for the UC system, saying the school could be “subject to civil fines, criminal penalties, or debarment from federal contracting” as well as prosecution for university employees. “[W]e have a fiduciary responsibility to consider all possible ramifications of our actions,” he added.The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 makes it illegal for U.S. employers to knowingly hire illegal aliens.UC leaders were also warned that the school could potentially be sued by the Biden administration if it gave campus jobs to illegal aliens.Now, UC is still facing a lawsuit, although from plaintiffs attacking the university over its compliance with federal law, according to the Daily Caller.The lawsuit, filed on behalf of plaintiffs Jeffry Umaña Muñoz and Iliana Perez, alleges that “The effects of the Regents’ misguided policy have been devastating.”“The policy is stunting the potential of students with great academic promise, who could pursue advanced degrees at the UC but for their inability to complete the necessary teaching or other employment requirements (such as medical residency). It is discouraging many undocumented students of limited means—who must work to afford college—from applying to the UC altogether,” the lawsuit claims.Muñoz, who is himself an illegal alien student who came to the U.S. illegally and is currently studying at UC, complained about UC’s policy and said he was “deeply disappointed.”“I’m deeply disappointed that the UC Regents and President Drake shirked their duties to the students they are supposed to protect and support. We as UC students deserve so much more from our university leadership,” he said in January.
