FIRST ON FOX: Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, is demanding answers from the Department of Justice about companies allegedly prioritizing hiring migrant workers over U.S. citizens, despite federal law requiring them to do the opposite.
Vance noted that under the Immigration and Nationality Act , citizens of the U.S. are 'protected' and cannot be discriminated against in hiring processes due to their status as American citizens. Under the same law, unauthorized aliens are not free from discrimination in the hiring process. Summarizing the law, Vance wrote that U.S. citizens are actually 'more than protected — they are preferred.
