DOJ sues [Elon Musk's] SpaceX for not hiring asylum seekers and refugees
semafor ^ | Aug 24 | Diego Mendoza

The U.S. Department Justice on Thursday announced it is suing SpaceX over employment discrimination. The DOJ alleges that SpaceX discouraged refugees and asylum seekers from applying to open positions and refused to hire those that did, according to the complaint.

According to the complaint, SpaceX job postings wrongly stated that only U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents could apply for openings, and that “SpaceX’s hiring practices were routine, widespread, and longstanding, and harmed asylees and refugees.”

This is case where the government is absolutely right. My lying eyes have seen those that are migrating across the border. It’s one engineer after another. It’s on scientist after another. Why can’t Elon just give them great jobs with great salaries where they can be productive members of American society?

DOJ is full of crap.

"The lawsuit says between 2018 and 2022, SpaceX "wrongly claimed" that export control laws limited its hiring to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents."

When is DOJ going to sue NASA or USAF or their Contractors, for the same hiring practices?

“… only U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents could apply for openings…”

Isn’t that quite common for companies that do contract work for the DOD and NASA?

Who knows? Maybe the DOJ has lots of unvetted illegals working for them.

Yesterday Elon said he was suing Soros, and now today the DOJ is doing this.

Guess Soros owns the DOJ among many other things...

“SpaceX discouraged refugees and asylum seekers from applying to open positions and refused to hire those that did, “

Elon should run a major PR campaign on this.

Offer a free ride for a few Departing from Justice top level “management” staff into space on a launch vehicle that was assembled and controlled by only illegal aliens fresh from swimming the river.

DOJ appears to be suing Americans for their illegal alien low lifes. Go ahead America. Re-elect these dumb ass RAT bass turds. America’s average I.Q. has crashed and it still goes lower with every load of Dr. Jill’s breakfast burritos that comes across the river. DOJ needs to be investigated by Congress for Aiding and Abetting foreigners invading America. DOJ definitely needs to be defunded and the numbers of DOJ flunkies cut back.

This is communism. 1 man is keeping it from replacing everything good in our America.
Every move they make is Com mu nism..
You remember Barry said they would fundamentally change this nation.
Joe took millions from the nations he is now equipping and donating.. All with tax dollars.. His millions safely stashed away.

But it’s Trump... 1 man..
