Solicitor General Verrilli on whether deferred action folks could sue an employer who refuses to hire them based on their status (page 86 of the transcript):

"Now, Justice Alito, you raised a couple of points I want to get to with some specifics. You asked about whether an employee with a deferred action work authorization could sue if an employer refused to hire. I would direct Your Honor to 8 U.S.C. 1324b. Actually, Congress has determined the situations in which an employee -- well, with -- an alien with work authorization has a discrimination claim and when the employee doesn't. That statute says if you're a lawful public resident, you do. Deferred action is on the side where you don't."

Kind of rough when the side defending DAPA says things like that. Also, I think he is wrong.
