Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Luis can file a national origin discrimination claim under the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA). Employers not subject to Title VII's (of the Civil Rights Act of 1964) prohibitions because of their small size (less than 15 employees) may still be sufficiently large to be covered by IRCA's anti-discrimination provisions; those employers with 4 to 14 employees are prohibited from discriminating on the basis of national origin; and employers with four or more employees may not discriminate on the basis of citizenship.
