Rajaram v. Meta Platforms, Inc. (2024) 105 F.4th 1179 (42 USC 1981 provides that all persons within US jurisdiction are entitled to the same right to make and enforce contracts as is enjoyed by white citizens. This decision holds that plaintiff, a US citizen, states a claim for violation of section 1981 by alleging that defendant discriminates against US citizens based on their citizenship–preferring to hire noncitizens here on H1B visas to whom it can pay less for the same work. If noncitizens are given greater rights to employment, the section is violated because they have greater, not the same, rights to make employment contracts as white citizens.)
