Apple discriminated against US citizens in hiring, DOJ says

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Apple illegally discriminated against US citizens and other US residents in its hiring and recruitment practices for certain types of positions that went to foreign workers, the US Department of Justice said yesterday.

The $25 million payment was called the largest ever collected by the Justice Department under the anti-discrimination provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

"We have implemented a robust remediation plan to comply with the requirements of various government agencies as we continue to hire American workers and grow in the US," Apple said.

As Reuters noted, "Foreign labor can often be cheaper than hiring US workers, and immigrants who rely on their employers for green card sponsorship are seen as less likely to leave for a different job."

These less effective recruitment practices deterred protected workers from applying to positions that Apple preferred to fill instead with PERM beneficiaries."

Apple has already implemented some of the changes and agreed to "train its employees on the INA's anti-discrimination requirements and be subject to departmental monitoring for the three-year period of the agreement," the DOJ said.
