Dale stated: Another potential limitation on the effectiveness of a title VII remedy in the present context may be the Supreme Court ruling in Espinoza v. Farah Manufacturing Co.. Inc. Although title VII renders national original an unlawful basis of discrimination. the Farah Court declined to find congressional intent to make discrimination against aliens in private employment unlawful. In a suit against an employer for failure to hire a Mexican citizen solely because of her alien status. the court unqualifiedly held that employment discrimination based on noncitizenship Is not covered by title VII. Mr. President. there is a need to provide some mechanism which will allow persons who are discriminated against by employers as a result of employer sanctions to obtain redress.
