Is the Outstanding American by Choice award illegal?

The director of Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) Emilio Gonzalez (a naturalized citizen) created an award called the Outstanding American By Choice Award. Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff (Gonzalez's boss) awarded Gonzalez with the award Gonzalez created. To be eligible for the award you have to be a naturalized citizen. Is this ethical since Gonzalez created the award and it discriminates against native born americans?

Answer:
I know, sometimes it feels there's all these awards for everyone except those that deserve it.

Actually, you might be eligible if you renounce your citizenship in disgust, move to another country, then swim back and get re-naturalized.

Personally I think my Dad should get the award, not Gonzalez. Gonzalez should get the Most Corrupt Legal Immigrant Award. Then give him a job at Enron.
Ethical and government are an oxymoron

Why am I not surprised by this action ?
Aren't we ALL Americans by choice? No one is keeping us here against our will.
Its not illegal, but I don't understand the point of it. Why should someone who is naturalized be any more special than a regular citizen?

Is it a financial award or is it just a medal?
why can they have black colleges and all that ........... further more we all came here from somewhere unless you are 100% native american . so whats more ? ............... oh_hell
It's not illegal-but I think the award should have gone to another person besides the creator of the award.
Gov't showing its true mechanics... you scratch mine ..I'll scratch yours
