Chattanooga Trucking Companies Forced to Pay Fine for Asking Immigrant Applicants to Prove Legal Status

A Chattanooga trucking company will be forced to pay the federal government $700,000 for what the government says were discriminatory hiring practices. 

"The Justice Department announced today that it has secured a $700,000 agreement with Covenant Transport Inc. (Covenant), as well as the affiliated entity Transport Management Services LLC (Transport), two transportation logistics and long-haul trucking companies headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee," said a press release from the Department of Justice. "The agreement resolves the department’s determination that the company violated the anti-discrimination provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) by routinely discriminating against non-U.S. citizen workers when checking their permission to work in the United States."

  1. Covenant Transport is NOT Christian.

    Matthew 6 14-15 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. “But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

    Leviticus 19 33-34 ‘And if an alien dwells with you in your land, you shall not mistreat him. The alien who dwells among you shall be to you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. (The Jews sojourned in Egypt for 400 years)

    Malachi 3:5
    And I will come near you for judgment;
    I will be a swift witness
    Against sorcerers,
    Against adulterers,
    Against perjurers,
    Against those who exploit wage earners and widows and orphans,
    And against those who turn away an alien—
    Because they do not fear Me,”
    Says the LORD of hosts.

    Deteronomy 28: 43-45 “The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. “He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail. “Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, BECAUSE YOU DID NOT OBEY THE VOICE OF THE LORD  your GOD, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded.

    BECAUSE YOU DID NOT OBEY THE VOICE OF THE LORD  your GOD!!! Repent!!!
    WHERE IS YOUR FAITH CHRISTIAN???
    DO YOU DOUBT ALMIGHTY GOD’S ABILITY TO PROVIDE RICHLY FOR BOTH THE CITIZEN AND THE IMMIGRANT???
    THEN YOU HAVE NO CONCEPT OF MY GOD’S POWER AND HE DOES NOT KNOW YOU.

    1. What makes you say the owners of this company are not christian, (since corporations do not not follow Christ, only people)?

      Rom 14:4 Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.
