Good point. And I have been told that at least some clearances do not require citizenship necessarily; you just could not be ooooh Iraqi let's say. But that was a while ago and things may have changed post 9/11. I have not explored the issue as I don't want to work in a weapons lab anyway.
But since we are already to to the point where people refuse to hire a guy as a driver because he is not native-born and looks a bit brown, then I think the best we can hope for short term is a holding pattern.
