Feds sue Elon Musk’s SpaceX for allegedly shunning refugees, asylum seekers
By Josh Christenson

The Biden administration sued Elon Musk-owned rocket and satellite company SpaceX on Thursday for allegedly discriminating against asylum seekers and refugees in hiring.
“The lawsuit alleges that, from at least September 2018 to May 2022, SpaceX routinely discouraged asylees and refugees from applying and refused to hire or consider them, because of their citizenship status, in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act,” the Justice Department said in a statement.
“In job postings and public statements over several years, SpaceX wrongly claimed that under federal regulations known as ‘export control laws,’ SpaceX could hire only US citizens and lawful permanent residents, sometimes referred to as ‘green card holders,’” the DOJ added.
The laws bar foreign persons from being given access to export-controlled items without approval from the State Department or Department of Commerce, but permits US persons including citizens, residents, refugees and asylum seekers, according to the lawsuit.
Immigrants “had virtually no chance of being fairly considered or hired for a job at SpaceX,” the lawsuit states, saying the company’s “hiring practices were routine, widespread, and longstanding, and harmed asylees and refugees.”

So now all companies are going to be forced to hire Biden's illegal aliens.

I remember when companies worried about immigration officers showing up. It boggles my mind how quickly this country is descending.

So, pray tell, just how many rocket scientists and aerospace engineers are in that lot?

You beat me to it. I’m sure astronauts will be lining up for a ride in a DIE designed and built spacecraft.
