So your job is either in a special category or it was illegally restricted. With it being the USPS, a federal employer, it was almost certainly the former.

That assumes that HR staff are an intelligent life form - which in my experience is often not the case. Many seem to have the ambition and intellect of pondweed, and have landed in HR because they are fit for nothing else, unable to produce or perform in any more useful capacity.
A good HR person is worth their weight in gold, but as rare as hen's teeth.

Speaking as a (UK) HR person, this is an interesting point of view - is (US) HR generally held in low regard? - I consider myself "good" in terms of knowing about employment laws etc. and keeping on top of changes in UK/EU(and being realistic in their interpretation). Now i wonder how i would stand in US HR job market withe the "legal" knowledge i've picked up by going through immigration. Rich

I fully agree. You'd think one of the minimum requirements of being an HR person would be to know the answer to the most basic employment question of all: who is eligible to work.
