Oh so true. Just doesn't make sense.

Pretty good summary in general. There are other scenarios that involve military service as well. My family would be a great quiz for citizenship questions. My DIL—as mentioned—is naturalized, and one of my grandchildren was born in Japan. Can my DIL and/or grandchild have dual citizenship? (I obviously know the answer. But, it’s an interesting situation for folks to think about that haven’t ever pondered.) The answer is ‘yes.’ My DIL can have dual citizenship because Costa Rica allows & the U.S. doesn’t make you renounce. My grandson can’t be Japanese and American. Partly because he was born in the Naval hospital in Japan (technically U.S. soil), and also because Japan provides citizenship via parental ancestry instead of location. The U.S. is one of only 35 countries in the world (out of 195) that still grants almost universal birthright citizenship based on geographical location. And, as some believe with a pretty strong argument IMHO, that is an incorrect interpretation of the Constitution. If—as some believe, and has been practiced since a very liberal interpretation decades ago—everyone born in the U.S. geographically was automatically a citizen, there would never have been a need for a separate, later Act to include Native Americans as citizens. This is a very strong argument for original intent. I’m not sure the case coming before SCOTUS this week is as cut & dried as some would believe.

The U.S. already has a limited birthright citizenship scenario—even though many claim it’s much more open than the original authors & Congressional approval intended. The question up for debate—which has never actually been adjudicated—is whether a child born to someone in the U.S. temporarily & illegally should automatically become a citizen. No one is attempting to end birthright citizenship altogether.

Forecasts for Thursday and Friday in Edingurg have the temperature reaching 100° from various weather sites. Game 1 win would be huge in order to move to the evening game on Friday and of course being in the winners portion of the bracket. All Texas teams in Edinburg and all Louisiana teams in Hammond. Interesting little fact that came about with Corpus finishing off a sweep of UNO today.

McCullers received death threats for himself and his family. I don’t care how bad someone plays, they should never get death threats. Lots of sick people in this world.

Key points about naturalized citizens: Requirements: Requirements include continuous residence in the U.S., knowledge of English and U.S. civics, and demonstrating good moral character. Same Rights: Naturalized citizens have the same rights and responsibilities as those born in the U.S. Oath of Allegiance: A crucial step in the naturalization process is taking an oath of allegiance to the U.S. Constitution and its laws. Certificate of Naturalization: Upon successful completion of the process, a naturalized citizen receives a Certificate of Naturalization. Voluntary Process: Naturalization is a voluntary process for non-U.S. born individuals to gain citizenship. Eligibility: Generally, to become a naturalized citizen, an individual must be at least 18 years old, a lawful permanent resident (LPR) for a specified number of years (3 or 5, depending on circumstances), and meet other requirements.

I agree that she is a citizen as well. Birthright citizenship is not going anywhere.

How do you know now? Profile much? You must live in a very small world. My daughter-in-law is a naturalized citizen from Costa Rica. She’s as much a citizen as you or me. She even served in the U.S. Navy. Probably has given more of herself to this country than you. She happens to be very proud to be an American. If you read any of the articles I linked to, you’d have a lot better idea of what’s going on. But hey…carry on…

The fact that you were born here. If they get rid of birthright citizenship how will we know who are citizens?

This is what happens when the government gets to big. I'm sure there is supposed to be oversight. But if it becomes to difficult to oversee because of the size, then they just drop it and oversight becomes nonexistent. No wonder the deep state is fighting cutting the size of government. @Big girl @UT alum @Boyz N Da Hood @CardinalBacker Since this is just a drop in the bucket of the waste, fraud and abuse, are you OK with this?

It appears you may have your own idea what a citizen is. Can you let us know what that is?

Yes we all are!💪🏼💪🏼 extremely tough district across multiple sports. But iron sharpens iron

She probably won’t like that answer

Have to win the tournament to get to a regional

Nice sweep and 3 seed with 40 wins. Don’t like the fact that they have to play HCU again. Tough to win 4 straight from another team and if they make it to UTRGV it could be disastrous for some reason they never play well against them
