DONALD S. RUSSELL, Circuit Judge,
dissenting:
I respectfully dissent to the panel’s holding to remand this case so that the parties may litigate this question under the McDonnell Douglas framework. Under that framework, *358an employee is not to be ordered employed unless he is qualified for the sought-after position. To be qualified, an alien must possess the requisite employment authorization. Egbuna is an alien without a green card. He therefore does not qualify for employment at Time-Life Libraries, Inc., and I do not think that, merely because he is an alien, the immigration laws should be held subject to Title VII.
