Open Question: I couldn’t get hired because I am a citizen. Is it a discrimination?

Sunday, December 12th, 2010

I applied for a wait staff position in a restaurant.
I was called for the job interview, and the employer kind of liked me.
He told me to come to work tomorrow and buy a white dress-shirt and black trousers and a bow-tie.
But after he found out my immigration status, which is a citizen, he said he can’t hire me’cuz he pays below the state minimum wage and doesn’t pay for overtime, and
a citizen might file a complaint to authorities, so he always hires unlawful status people.
I convinced him that nowdays economy is struggling, and I understand that, so you don’t have to
pay me overtime and keep the state minimum wage. As long as I can work, I am happy.
However, he insisted illegal immigrants they never report but citizens and green card holders.
Basically, he turned me down because I am a citizen.
I feel something is wrong. I don’t get hired because I am a citizen?? Is it a discrimination?

Save Silver Spring Movement Grows

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

OCALA - Citizens of this Florida town, home to Silver Springs, are banding together to help support the historic attraction.

The park is deteriorating, and locals feel that the management is letting it run down. Monkeys. Glass-bottom boats. Ross Allen milking rattlesnakes. Great old memories.
