Tesla has a car production facility in China..
Meaning what?
this is America and we should hire Americans instead of foreigners
All that is happening since you don't know is that a guy tried to apply for a job and Tesla said no so the guy filed a complaint and the govt. is trying to get information to determine what happened. As far as companies hiring citizens or non-citizens that is up to the company. The story never said what nationality he was.
It was first reported in India. So, i would imagine thats the Nationality of the complaint filer.
This is bizarre though, we have a law that protects non American citizens from being discriminated against that applies to American companies? Is there a quota, so many of your employees have to be non-citizens? I've just never heard of this before, but doesn't surprise me that it exists, it's just lunacy.
