The Trump administration claims Facebook Inc is discriminating against US workers by designating thousands of positions for foreigners with temporary H-1B visas.
The company "refused to recruit, consider, or hire qualified and available US workers for over 2,600 positions” and instead reserved the jobs – with an average salary of US$156,000 (RM633,952.80) – to non-citizens that it sponsored for permanent work authorisations with green cards, according a statement issued on Dec 3 by the civil rights division of the Justice Department.
