Facebook "refused to recruit, consider, or hire qualified and available U.S. workers for over 2,600 positions."

The lawsuit was really about FB converting H1B workers, of whom they already hired, into permanent US workers. They post a PERM position and then have to apply the H1B worker to it due to outdated immigration laws.

They argued that a company should not be able to do that if they can hire a minimally qualified US candidate, AKA someone who checks the job requirements.
