I think there is a misunderstanding of the meaning of Nepotism.

Nepotism is the practice of a relative preferring a relative for a position or benefit over a better qualified person.

In some ways this is illegal in all of the USA, hiring for example.

In some ways it is not.

What is the opposite of nepotism?

Nepotism is defined as: "patronage bestowed or favoritism shown on the basis of family relationship, as in business and politics." Technically, the opposite of nepotism would be "anti-nepotism" or an "anti-nepotism policy." Although not an absolute opposite, the word "meritocracy" is defined as "A system in which advancement is based on individual ability or achievement." which is sufficiently contrasting to the meaning of "nepotism".
