the law prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. in my opinion, citizenship and national origin are separate. maybe the company doesn't have the resources or desire to deal with sponsoring employment visas.

those "legally authorized" could potentially write the book from their country of citizenship, but the company isn't obligated to entertain such offers..
