The law prohibits employers from hiring only U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, unless required by law, regulation, or government contracts. Employers may not refuse to accept legal documents proving an employee`s eligibility to work or require additional documentation beyond what is required by law when verifying employment eligibility (i.e., completing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Form I-9) based on the employee`s national origin or citizenship status.
