Sessions’ DOJ to Sue Colorado Corporation for Hiring Foreigners over Americans

Breitbart TX: U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ Department of Justice (DOJ) said it will file suit against a Colorado corporation accused of hiring foreign workers over Americans. It will be the first-ever lawsuit based on President Trump’s ‘Buy American, Hire American’ executive order.

In a statement by Sessions, the DOJ announced it file a lawsuit against Crop Production Services, Inc. The company is based in Loveland, Colorado. The DOJ will claim the company discriminated against American workers in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

“In the spirit of President Trump’s Executive Order on Buy American and Hire American, the Department of Justice will not tolerate employers who discriminate against U.S. workers because of a desire to hire temporary foreign visa holders,” Sessions said in a statement. “The Justice Department will enforce the Immigration and Nationality Act in order to protect U.S. workers as they are the very backbone of our communities and our economy. Where there is a job available, U.S. workers should have a chance at it before we bring in workers from abroad.”

In 2016, according to the DOJ, Crop Production discriminated against at least three American workers in El Campo, Texas, by refusing to give them jobs in seasonal positions. The company instead, awarded those jobs to imported foreign workers who came to the U.S. on the H-2A visa program.

The DOJ also says Crop Production hit American workers with tougher job requirements than they did foreign workers on H-2A visas in order to discourage Americans from taking jobs at the company’s Texas facility. According to the DOJ, American workers were forced to complete background checks and drug tests, while the imported foreign workers were allowed to begin working before completing either of the job requirements.  MORE

8 Comments on Sessions’ DOJ to Sue Colorado Corporation for Hiring Foreigners over Americans

  1. Like President Reagan said; “The Government is not the solution, the government is the problem.” When the government competes with the private sector, the private sector is going to lose. Because of liberalism, Americans can sit home on their fat asses collecting at least three grand a month in welfare benefits. Why would they go to work and give all that up? Illegals are grateful for the work. Oh, and try to find a welfare recipient who can pass a drug test. Time for the government to drastically roll back incentives to collect welfare. Hell with DOJ law suits. They should devote their time prosecuting Clinton and Obama felonies.

  2. The Federal Gov’t. has a few basic core duties.
    Among these are securing our borders against invasion, and defending the country from enemies foreign and domestic.

    It’s way past time for these treacherous bastards to start doing their job.

  3. Never waste time cleaning your own house, while deers mooks in da street wit a nickle in days pocket. Dose nickles be ours! When, only when, you’ve grabbed every last nickle, dime, penny, and wad of pocket lint, does an honorable Family Man turn on the traitors in the Family. Even a Family traitor whose grabbing mooks’ nickels is more honorable than a mook!
