If DISCRIMINATION of foreign nationals based on country of origin is
legal (and I believe it is), then *by definition* they may do
precisely that.  You are free to discriminate against anyone you like
on any basis EXCEPT those specifically mentioned by law.  The
protection of these laws, when push comes to shove, is most likely
only extended to citizens of the USA.
