Employment Law: National Origin Discrimination
National origin and citizenship are not the same things, and for purposes of discrimination laws they have to be carefully and clearly distinguished from one another.

This type of discrimination is very serious, and is considered just as damaging as discriminating against someone based on age, sexual orientation, gender, or other factors. Unfortunately, it does still occur.
There are ways companies can avoid legal trouble, and one of those ways is to treat everyone…
