Obama adminstration...has been a failure. He's completely lost as a leader. President Obama is in way over his head. He did not have the credentials to be in the oval office to begin with.

Elections are worthless. The only way to make change is to sue. How sad. :-[

Makes me wonder if someone actually did a background check on Obama what would happen?

FFS - more blacks commit crimes, so doing a criminal background check is racist?

I do not understand. I thought the whole purpose of a background check was to hire people without criminal backgrounds?

What is wrong with wanting people who are not former criminals on the job?

Apparently what is wrong is that former criminals are black.

I still can't figure how Americans think they live in the most free society on the planet.

From what I remember, the plant hired a outside firm to do background checks on existing employees, and anyone who had a criminal record, no matter the offense, was fired. A disproportionate amount were black employees who were fired.

Unless someone is a sex offender or hurt old ladies or animals, the idea of them not getting a job due to former criminal records is something that doesn't sit well with me. Drug crime, petty theft etc should not bar people from ever being gainfully employed once they serve their time. Companies are free to hire who they want obviously, so I disagree with Obama but the idea of former criminals not deserving a job is retarded.

A division of the plant was contracted out to another company and the employees inthat area had to basically reapply. BMW does a background check on every hire at the plant, and to my knowledge (which is fairly extensive without saying too much) they will not hire anyone with a record.

Of course a majority of the people who where let go were black....the vast majority of the workforce there is black.

I have heard rumors that they run random background checks and people have been let go because of it, but I don't know if there is anything to it.

Let's face it...for most people in this area it is a premier job to have.  They pay nearly triple what everyone else (besides Michelin and GE) pay in the area.  Why should they have to put up with any rift raft when there are literally thousands of people lining up to get a temp job there that may one day become permanent?

Sheriff Joe didn't prove anything of the sort. Neither did Jerome Corsi. Or Donald Trump. Or that crazy lady whose name escapes me right now.

Not a single piece of credible evidence has been made available that suggests Obama's birth didn't take place in Hawaii, that the certificate he presented was a documented produced by the State of Hawaii and which accurately represented the information that the State has on file.

If you think otherwise, you either haven't examined the so-called evidence yourself, or you are just completely delusional or gullible.

The only way to make change is to exercise our 2nd Amendment rights.

I'm sorry, but are you suggesting an armed insurrection? If so, please be advised that such an Act is against the very principles that grant you the right you claim must be exercised.

Also, be assured, that such action would also be quite illegal per 18 USC 115 and almost certainly qualify as an action that the Constitution grants the Government explicit authority to suppress.

The background checks were used to terminate employees...not hire them so they would not be liable for unemployment or a severence package.  

These employees had already listed their criminal records on their application and were hired.  Making them reapply and terminating them for what they listed on their application is a pretty shitty thing to do.

That is only however a very small part of it.....its much more than just about applicants.



And Coach...you may think its wrong but when these people are terminated, it comes out of your pocket because you then have to pay for food stamps, welfare, etc....

Are you implying that these gang members have felony convictions or minor weed charges? There is a difference. And if you have certain tattoos (tear marks, DMI, etc) and are arrested, then it is put down as that you're gang affiliated...even if you were arrested for a DUI or simple weed charge. And not convicted. So, in NCIC you are listed as gang affiliated, even though you are not.
