Americans Need Not Apply At One Texas Farm Company
Americans Need Not Apply At One Texas Farm Company

Folks beating the drum for open borders and amnesty insist that immigrants take jobs native-born Americans won’t touch.u think?
But a Texas farm company that hired Mexicans instead of Americans was just zapped by the Obama Justice Department, of all things.y
The DOJ quietly announced this week its lawsuit victory over Estopy Farms for denying employment to an American named Enrique Romero in 2010.
An administrative law judge ruled that the company illegally passed over Romero in favor of Mexican nationals it recruited under the H-2A visa program for temporary or seasonal agricultural employees. Foreigners are issued H-2A visas to work in the United States for companies that certify there are no Americans willing, able and qualified to do the job.
In May 2010, Estopy Farms sought permission from Texas to hire 14 H-2A workers as cotton machine operators.
The next month, Romero, who had worked as an agricultural machine operator for 14 years interviewed for the same job. Estopy Farms owner Jerry Estopy promised he could start in a few weeks but then went AWOL.
The Texas Workforce Commission subsequently told Romero that everyone eventually hired for the seasonal jobs were H-2A workers from Mexico. The Immigration and Nationality Act prohibits discrimination in employment based on citizenship.
“U.S. workers are not to be discriminated against in favor of foreign workers,” ruled Administrative Judge Law Ellen Thomas. “That is precisely what happened here.”
Acting Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Vanita Gupta said in astatement that, “Companies cannot manipulate visa programs to discriminate against U.S. workers because of their citizenship. This ruling sends a strong message to all employers that discrimination against U.S. workers will not be tolerated.”
What do you think?
Judge Thomas gave the DOJ until next month to request civil monetary penalties and other remedial actions against Estopy.

Justice Department Files Lawsuit on McAllen Farm for Discrimination
By Allen Corbin September 11, 2012 2:15 PM
The Justice Department has filed a motion to intervene in a lawsuit against McAllen farmer.
The suit from the Justice Department alleges employment discrimination against two U.S. Citizens by Jerry Estopy and Estopy Farms.
The suit alleges that two citizens were denied jobs because of a question of their status as citizens of the U.S.
The Immigration and Nationality Act has a provision prohibiting employers from discriminating against workers based on their national origins or citizenship status in the hiring and firing process.
According the complaint, one of the plaintiffs had 12 years of work experience operating cotton combines and tractors when he was denied employment in June 2010.
The Justice Department has reasonable cause to believe that the company did not hire the U.S. Citizens because they preferred to hire foreign workers under the H-2A visa program.
The H-2A visa program allows the hiring of temporary non-citizen workers during seasonal periods of harvest if domestic workers are in shortage.
Estopy Farms specialize in sorghum and soy crops.

Justice Department Wins Lawsuit Against Texas Employer That Discriminated Against U.S. Citizen
The Justice Department announced today that it won a lawsuit against Estopy Farms regarding allegations that the company discriminated against a U.S. citizen by preferring to hire foreign workers. The case was decided by the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer, the administrative court authorized to hear discrimination cases under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
The court found that Estopy Farms, a farm that harvests crops in Texas, violated the INA when it refused to hire a qualified U.S. worker to operate agricultural equipment because the company preferred to hire foreign workers under the H-2 visa program.
The case now moves to the remedial phase for the court to determine what Estopy Farms must do to remedy the violation, which includes the possibility of paying civil penalties.
“Companies cannot manipulate visa programs to discriminate against U.S. workers because of their citizenship,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta of the Civil Rights Division. “This ruling sends a strong message to all employers that discrimination against U.S. workers will not be tolerated.”
The case was litigated by the Justice Department’s Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices (OSC), which is responsible for enforcing the anti-discrimination provision of the INA. The statute prohibits employers from discriminating because of citizenship or national origin in hiring, firing, or recruitment or referral for a fee. The statute also prohibits employers from placing additional documentary burdens on work-authorized applicants or employees during the employment eligibility verification process because of their citizenship status or national origin.
