Senator Challenges Zuckerberg: 'Hire American Workers for a Change'

• kelukelugames 12y ago
  "Let me just say one more thing: Facebook has 7,000 workers. Microsoft just laid off 18,000. Why doesn’t Mr. Zuckerberg call his friend Mr. (Bill) Gates and say: Look, I have to hire a few hundred people; do you have any résumés you can send over here?" Sessions said. "Maybe I will not have to take somebody from a foreign country for a job an unemployed U.S. citizen might take." Rhetoric, gotta love it! Bunch of the people who were laid off are immigrants.

    Another way this is dishonest is that the majority of the 18,000 jobs were not even in the United States.

    The Senator is arguing in favor of industry hiring collusion, while Apple et Al are getting hammered in the courts for doing so?

  It's odd that it not only ok, but mandatory, to discriminate based on someone's place of birth.

    Not place of birth. Power structure controlling place of birth.
