DOJ: Tech Manufacturer Discriminated Against Qualified Americans, Hired Foreign H-1B Visa Workers Instead
|
 [Breitbart] Micron Technology, which manufactures semiconductor products, including USB flash drives, discriminated against qualified Americans when hiring and instead imported foreign H-1B visa workers to take jobs in the United States, a Department of Justice (DOJ) settlement states.
An American filed a complaint against Micron, saying the multi-billion-dollar corporation had failed to consider him for a position, despite his qualifications, and ended up hiring a foreign H-1B visa worker instead.
A settlement between Micron and the DOJ determined that the corporation had indeed illegally discriminated against the qualified American professional in favor of a foreign H-1B visa worker.
Through the years, Micron has hired thousands of H-1B employees.
“Companies cannot unlawfully discriminate against a job applicant because they prefer to hire someone with a different citizenship or immigration status,” the DOJ’s Kristen Clarke said in a statement.
But Ms. Clark, "Companies" are only doing what the government has sanctioned and rewarded for decades.
As part of the settlement, Micron will have to provide $85,000 worth of back pay to the American professional who was discriminated against. The corporation will also be monitored by DOJ investigators for two years.
Obviously an isolated case. Institutional misconduct and illegal activity not found. $85,000. should cover it.
For years, Breitbart News has chronicled the abuses against white-collar American professionals as a result of the H-1B visa program. There are about 650,000 H-1B visa foreign workers in the U.S. at any given moment. Americans are often laid off in the process and forced to train their foreign replacements, as highlighted by Breitbart News.
