For the same reason they can require you to have a Driver's License, be able to carry 50+lbs, live in the borders of Maryland, etc, etc.
Having the right to work in the US doesn't entitle you to a job. And there are plenty of reasons government institutions would want to disallow non-nationals a position. The whole point of citizenship is, after all, buying into the system; if you're not "in" your allegiances or potential recourse can always be argued to be limited. Dual-Citizens, such as myself, are in a similar boat for the same reasons (unless they opt to renounce foreign ties).
- confidantlake 4y agoJust to give some additional information but there are many government jobs or government contracting jobs where you can be a dual citizen, including I believe this one.
- deaddodo 4y agoI didn’t mean lacking the exact same job opportunities, but having their loyalties be questioned and denied from certain secure positions. I don’t believe this job actually would be possible as the level of clearance requested is usually denied to dual-nationals (without renouncing, of course).
- confidantlake 4y agoOh ok, thanks for the clarification.
