Question 10 • (Zielinski) 28209 Civics 1st Nine Weeks

Which scenario is an example of unlawful discrimination based on citizenship status?

Answer
A
A company says it will hire only natural-born citizens.
B
A permanent resident is not allowed to register to vote.
C
A jury is made up of only natural-born and naturalized citizens.
D
A temporary visa holder is forced to return to their country of origin.

Explanation

A company that hires only natural-born citizens excludes naturalized citizens based on their citizenship status. That is generally unlawful discrimination in hiring, unless a specific law or government requirement creates an exception. Permanent residents generally cannot vote in federal elections, and jury service is generally limited to citizens, so those scenarios do not show unlawful discrimination.
