[Unverified] Children of US troops born overseas will no longer get automatic US citizenship

[dannno]

A couple of options would be having the mothers come to the US to give birth or having a pre-declaration of citizenship before an overseas birth. There is really no reason why the child of American citizens should have to naturalized because of diplomatic assignment or deployment.

This was more Zippy fake news, see my post above.

More fake news..

It does affect birth tourists and illegals though.

It doesn't matter where a child is born to one or more U.S. citizens. That was never a criteria of birthright citizenship.

More fake news..

I asked for the tread title to be changed. Perhap's if you did too something could be done about it. Because it is bullshit. FAKE NEWS.

Done.

They also could potentially end up stateless- without citizenship of any country.

Stateless? That's a terrifying prospect. I wouldn't wish that fate upon anybody.

My youngest was born in a civilian hospital while my husband was in the military and we were stationed overseas. There was paperwork that had to be done to establish citizenship which was processed through the nearest U.S. embassy. He has a Certificate of Birth Abroad instead of a regular birth certificate and a U.S. passport.

Yeah, for the most part, this is all about paperwork.

Actually, it does address birthright citizenship to a certain extent. It’s not about a child born to American parents. It’s about future generations. For example, a US couple has a child in Brazil. That child resides in Brazil their entire life. Is their child a US citizen? This clarification says that “no”, birthright citizenship does not extend for multiple generations of people who have never officially resided in the US.

Try reading it again.

He's not confused. He knows you posted another misleading headline, which should have contained a word like "some", " certain", or ideally, "non-citizen".

USCIS later clarified the rule explaining it would only affect three categories of people: Children of non-U.S. citizens adopted by U.S. citizen-government employees or service members; children of non-U.S. citizen-government employees or service members who were naturalized after the child’s birth; and children of U.S. citizens who do not meet residency requirements.

But no. Everybody plays the semi-fakenews game these days. Especially Zippy.

See, that is still a little strange. We have a lot of friends who are missionaries. Some of them were born overseas to US citizens. For most missionaries, that means they visit the US one year and in the other country four years. So really not residing in the US, but still being Americans and holding US passports.
