discrimination in the workplace?

I would not work at a place like that if you and the manager did not click from the beginning. She should proceed with caution.


I agree, just move past it, it will create more stress than needed.

Actually i think now they can legally deny employment of undocumented workers.
Boeing (i believe it was) has a similar clause, they will not allow ANYONE to work for or do work at their company that is not a legal citizen. One of our service engineers had to bring her birth certificate to an on site warrenty repair. And one of our Sales managers is currently working on getting his citizenship and was not allowed on the property.
Unfortunatly now days, All things not white are the new Blacks.

I don't think you have to be a US citizen to get hired. If you have a work visa or a green card that should be sufficent.

Also, Almost every job application you fill out asks if you are a us citizen or have a work permit.

Maybe you misunderstood him. When you get hired you will need to provide two accepted forms of IDs stated on the I-9. Maybe he is making sure she bring one of the forms. If he is truely disciminating he would of not hired her.

That's what I think also. I remember about a year ago I was getting hired for a job and they required I bring in a copy of my birth certificate (notarized copy), SS card, and License.

Asking if you are a citizen is one of the few things they can ask, of a personal nature. I think it may have been a misunderstanding also.
