1. She was a Canadian citizen, he’s Canadian.
Pretending she had not acquired Canadian Citizenship or Rafael was an American living in Canada, neither was in the military on a base. (Recall how John McCain was not considered an NBC and the Senate passed a resolution to give him cover in order to run in 2008?) Citizenship is not guaranteed, but applied for and processed after residency.
Here’s how they handle children born to US fathers serving overseas during the Korean War or Vietnam War. They provided a path to citizenship. Those born outside the zone, such as the Philippines have no such path. Why would a Canadian Cruz born to non-military parents off US soil supersede these requests.
H.R. 4007, The Amerasian Paternity Recognition Act
Amerasian Paternity Recognition Act – Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to confer automatic citizenship on aliens residing in the United States in lawful permanent resident status: (1) pursuant to a classification petition approved under a provision that gives preferential treatment to persons born in Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Kampuchea, or Thailand after 1950 and before October 22, 1982, and fathered by a U.S. citizen; or (2) who were born in Vietnam after January 1, 1962, and before January 1, 1976, and fathered by a U.S. citizen.
U.S. Legislation Regarding Amerasians
This section will focus on the present and past legislation, including news articles, regarding Amerasians in the U.S. and in Asia. The most recent bill making its way through Congress is the Amerasian Naturalization Act of 2003. So far, this bill has been stonewalled and does not look like it will be passed. Please write your Senators and Congressperson to make sure that Amerasians are accorded their rights into becoming U.S. Citizens.
She was born in the United States, she is an American.
Born in American = always an American?
Is Queen Noor (Lisa Najeeb Halaby) an American?
Her son, Prince Hashim bin Hussein, is he an American, is he NBC?
Their birth circumstances are equal.
The only definition of natural born citizen is BOTH parents are citizens and the individual must be BORN on American soil.
