National origin and citizenship, you're right. But when it comes to immigration status, I've always had the "are you eligible to work in the United States?" question asked of me for every job I've applied to.

It is not illegal to discriminate on the basis of immigration status. In fact "Sorry, we can't hire anyone other than citizens and permanent residents" is so common a response, it's usually part of the job ad itself.

Yeah, companies are now required to verify work eligibility for their employees.
