[1]Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, protects applicants and
employees from discrimination in hiring, promotion, discharge, pay, fringe benefits,
job training, classification, referral, and other aspects of employment, on the basis
of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), or national origin.

- infinite8s 11y agoThe civil right act only holds for American citizens and green-card holders.
- a_imho 11y agoThanks, it makes sense.
- ikurei 11y agoIANAL, but national origin and citizenship are two different things.
- vonmoltke 11y agoYes. There are legitimate reasons for companies operating in certain sectors to require US citizenship. In fact, non-citizens are not even allowed in the facilities of some companies. Still, the myth persists that citizenship is always a prohibited requirement.
- rhplus 11y agoIt's not the civil rights act, but the immigration reform act that would be relevant here: "Employers should not ask whether or not a job applicant is a United States citizen before making an offer of employment... the law prohibits employers from hiring only U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents unless required to do so by law, regulation or government contract" [1] However, from the job listings, it sounds like that all employees would have access to regulated information, thus exempting them from the prohibition: "...U.S. citizen, permanent resident alien or otherwise able to review all export-controlled technical information."
