Flores v. George Braun Packing Co.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Flores v. George Braun Packing Co., 482 F.2d 279 (5th Cir. 1973)

Flores v. George Braun Packing Co.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM:

The plaintiffs, slaughterhouse workers who are on strike against their employers, contend that the Immigration and Nationality Act, i. e., 8 U.S.C. §§ 1101(a) (15) (a) (ii), 1182(a) (14), and 1324, and the regulations implementing those provisions, 29 C.F.R. § 60.1, et seq., create a private right of action against their employers, based on the alleged employment of Mexican nationals who illegally entered the United States. We follow the holding of the Tenth Circuit in Chavez v. Freshpict Foods, Inc., 456 F.2d 890 (1972), cert. denied, 409 U.S. 1112, 93 S.Ct. 925, 34 L.Ed.2d 695 (1973), which determined that no such private remedy exists.

The order of the district court dismissing the complaint is

Affirmed.
