    you can report it to the EEOC. you have no way of proving that you have been damaged as it appears you have not. You have a job. It is not your responsibility to resolve the problems in the world.

    The company could have some reason or justification that they requires that Spanish be spoken and therefore with no Spanish speaking white or Spanish speaking black or Spanishspeaking Asians there's no one else to hire but Spanish speaking Mexicans.

    I think in the United States it would be pretty hard to prove that Mexican or a Spanish is required.

    Law suit ? absolutely nope.

    have a reason to move to new job = yes.

    a reason to contact labor board after u leave = yes.

    law suit will get u NOTHING except hassles.

    law suit for what?? what are you losing..? I am assuming you are NOT Mexican. right? so you work there, so your company does hire non Mexican people right??

    and what exactly are our jobs?? are they getting paid a pay check?? are they having taxes taken out of that pay check..? do you think that your hotel is hiring illegal workers?? is it any of your business??

    What would you sue for, you have suffered no damages. They have cost you no money.

    ".I feel this is wrong because there taking our jobs" - Taking whose jobs? You HAVE a job there.

    Stop being a racist.
