Are you sure about that? It wouldn't surprise me to find out that at
least in some states, you can get licensed as an electrician without
proving citizenship. I can see the radical illegal alien advocates
arguing that the licensing shouldn't depend on citizenship and that it
should be illegal to even ask. If some states are now handing out
drivers licenses, why should electrician licenses be out of the
question.

Also, does anyone know if the FAA checks for citizenship for pilot
licensing?
