Clearances aren't democratic (nor should they be).
No idea how they can tell citizen status from the name, though. I thought the US was made up of people form all over earth with all kinds of backgrounds so one couldn't tell from their name.
But what does any of this have to do with anything anyway? The linked-to page doesn't mention the NSA, P0 team, or security clearances.
Second: My intent was to reply to Kiddico's message which says "I find it interesting how many of those are attributed to project zero members" That's the relation of p0 with my reply

Why are you playing dumb? He's clearly talking about someone with clearly foreign name, not someone from Canada.
I'm sick of people acting willfully ignorant in their arguments
The student visa should lead to a green card. Since it does not immigrants go back to their home nation and do startups there.

Look at the census of the 100 most common American names, they're either traditional American names or Spanish names from those who immigrated here over the last 50 years. https://www.thoughtco.com/most-common-us-surnames-1422656
That means that 80% of the US population has a surname other than those on that list. Assuming that 80% of the US poplulation are "foreign" because they aren't in the top 100 most common surnames, seems rather foolish.
And what difference does it make if they're native or naturalized? One of the bedrock principles of American democracy is (or at least is supposed to be) that a citizen is a citizen. There's a reason that the phrase "second-class citizen" is supposed to have universally pejorative connotations.
