Isn't this against the law to specifically seek out foreign workers instead of American citizens? Anybody, any thoughts on the legality of this?

Since it is illegal to discriminate due to age, sex, race, religion, or national origin, I'd say that it IS illegal.

In las vegas many casinos hire 100% recent immigrants to be dealers. My friend was very frustrated about her low wages. She moved to Vegas, she went to dealer school, her personality is fantastico, she charms and entertains men like you wouldn't believe. She would've been perfect. At the big casinos now it is 100% recent immigrants in the good dealer jobs, americans need not apply. So, if they get away with that discrimination there, then I'd say the laws are simply not enforced when you discriminate against americans.

Also, Matloff claims that in silicon valley it is common for an asian owned company to hire 100% from the home country. Not just programmers, managers and executives, but secretaries and janitors too, I'm saying 100% even when they have dozens of employees. This is a common pattern in america. Matloff says he found a company that advertises in chinese language newspaper in california when they need people.

Discrimination laws are enforced in a very subjective manner, that's just the way it is.

If a white person even speaks about this, then the republican jerks will tell you that he is a racist, but if a white person behaves in this manner, then he'll have charges against him. That's our country, so forget about enforcing discrimination laws.

I do not know about "national" origin, but in the case of actual nationality/citizenship there should be a discrimation in FAVOR of Americans! Otherwise what would be the purpose or meaning of citizenship? Market will not be a substitute for a nation.
