Marquez Brothers, a company that manufactures Mexican-style cheese and other food products, has agreed to pay $2 million to settle a federal lawsuit filed more than two years ago over alleged racial discrimination.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission announced the settlement Wednesday. The suit stemmed from the experience of two African-American job applicants who alleged they sought job applications at the Marquez Brothers facility in Hanford, but were refused the paperwork.

While the two men identified in the lawsuit were black, a subsequent investigation by EEOC reportedly found other instances of discrimination against white, Asian and other races by the company.

If ICE raided the plants to sweep out illegals, there might be a few job openings.

[ California company refused to hire ‘non-Hispanics,’ feds say. It will now pay $2 million ]

Imagine the lawsuits against companies refusing to hire white men over 40 during the entire Obama administration.

Or even today.

“found other instances of discrimination against white, Asian and other races by the company.”

aka, they kept the records. They’re morons and deserve it. Our production company only hires MAGA maniacs and been doing it for years. There are subtle “questions” to know if your applicant is a lib or a Trump guy, and we became good at it.

"U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission [???]"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

The EEOC is based on the unconstitutional (imo), Democratic vote-winning Civil Rights Act of 1964 (CRA), and therefore has no constitutional justification to exist, a previous generation of career Democrats making the CRA to stay in power imo.

Regarding race and sex-based workplace discrimination, patriots are reminded that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect race and sex-based rights, but only in the context of voting issues, not workplace issues, evidenced by the 15th and 19th Amendments.

In fact, pre-FDR nominated, state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court justices had clarified that powers that the states haven’t expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds are prohibited to the feds.

So this action by the feds is another example of the state sovereignty-ignoring feds unconstitutionally expanding the powers of the already unconstitutionally big federal government imo.

The remedy for unconstitutionally big federal government on our backs…

Patriots need to elect a new patriot Congress in the 2020 elections that will not only promise to fully support PDJT’s vision for MAGA, now KAG, but will also do this.

New patriot lawmakers also need to support PDJT in surrendering state powers that the feds have been stealing from the states for the last 100+ years back to the states.

And to make such changes permanent, patriots also need to support PDJT in leading the states to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)

They could have protested by cutting the cheese.

They decided to sue instead.
