Country of origin and immigration status are not the same thing. A company cannot discriminate based on origin. Immigration status is something else. Companies are legally required to ask if you are eligible to work in the country. If your skills are in demand enough they can pursue a visa for you. If not, you’re just another cog in the machine. They are free to find someone who can meet the requirement.
- mgh2 5y agoI bet HR prepared the legal language to avoid discrimination charges. Even if the immigration status is legal, Americans have an unfair advantage just because they were born in the right place. Americans live in a privileged bubble, especially the tech sector. Remember tech wanted to increase the quota for H1Bs? It was a pro-immigration marketing stunt - because it is cheaper for them to abuse more workers. Progressives/liberals fight for minorities' rights, but who cares about immigrants, even if they are the backbone of your economy? Tech doesn't care, they profit from it. Tech (indeed, American enterprise) has always been a marketing show for the rich.
