It's probably not discriminatory.  We had an employee that was on a work visa and there were extra things that we had to do in order to hire her and we could certainly specify that we only wanted US citizens.  Also - there are certain jobs where it is actually illegal to employ anyone but t acitizen.

  Hey guys, if an employer (nongoverment, non-military) only accepts US citizens, and not permanent resident green card holders, would that count as discrimination of some kind?

  On a recruiter's website, their online application asks "Do you have a Social Security card or an Alien Registration card (Green card)?"

  I am assuming they are asking that to make sure you can work here legally, which I can.

  i'm sad!

  On a side note, a trucker also mentioned that they will pretty much only deal with citizens "because of the terrorist thing".

  ??!!
