The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) Acting Chair Andrea Lucas recently announced, “The EEOC is putting employers and other covered entities on notice: if you are part of the pipeline contributing to our immigration crisis or abusing our legal immigration system via illegal preferences against American workers, you must stop. The law applies to you, and you are not above the law. The EEOC is here to protect all workers from unlawful national origin discrimination, including American workers.”
According to Acting Chair Lucas, the EEOC will help deter illegal migration and reduce the abuse of legal immigration programs by increasing enforcement of employment antidiscrimination laws against employers that illegally prefer non-American workers, as well as against staffing agencies and other agents that unlawfully comply with client companies’ illegal preferences against American workers.
One of Acting Chair Lucas’s priorities for compliance, investigations, and litigation is protecting American workers from anti-American national origin discrimination.
