What can an employer do about an employee who lied about being a legal citizen?

Employers typically specify on an employment application that any falsification on the application is terms for dismissal if and when discovered. Therefore, the employer is certainly within reason to terminate the employee (although likely the employment was at-will and the employer may have terminated at any time, for any or no reason).
Employers are required and responsible for submitting completed I-9s for each individual in their employ. An I-9 has very specific requirements to demonstrate work eligibility in the United States. Hopefully this employer uncovered the employee's falsification during the I-9 process.
The employer should involve an attorney to ensure their legal rights are protected, as failure to properly complete an I-9 subjects the business to penalties. Additionally, citizenship is a protected class under discrimination law (obviously illegal immigrants are not protected) and if the employee is otherwise legally able to work in the United States any action against them may result in a claim - especially if the hiring process itself was flawed.

Is it legal to hire a legal immigrant before a us citizen?
I believe you are asking if it is legal for an employer to hire a legal immigrant over a American citizen. By "legal immigrant," I assume you mean one who is authorized to work in the United States. Yes. As long as the person hired is legally authorized to work in the United States, his citizenship is irrelevant. Keep in mind that it is illegal in many jurisdictions for an employer to discriminate against a potential employee on the basis of national origin.
