I had a super valid reason to ask, but that doesn't always matter.

If you are doing non-trivial amounts of work which must be staffed by citizens, I can't believe you are going to have trouble for asking people if they are citizens.
I have spent far more time on HR issues lately than I expected. For example, we give employees three floating holidays a year, which they get on day one and which do not roll to the next year. A employee who left asked to be paid for his unused holidays, which struck me as audacious, but outside counsel seems to think he's right. This seems wrong to me, since the holidays do not accrue as one works, like vacation days do.
