If she appeared before any judge, there should at least be a record of her appearance even if the reason isn't clear.
Perhaps it’s just a problem with the SS administration, otherwise, how was she able to pass security clearances?
You would think the naturalization would have been part of the adoption process. It doesn’t add up.
Not the same, but related. My friend’s brother got deported to England at the age of 54. Third arrest, he was a hot mess of a human. He left Britan as an infant on a military flight.
His father was brought to America in the late 40’s... A real rocket scientist. 50 years at NASA, five children later, he finds that the infant child they brought with them never got paperwork. The rest of the family was good, just him... lost in the matrix. Everything about dad was classified back then, even the baby.
A win, win... America sent back a village idiot who emigrated at three month of age. And he loves it in Liverpool... Because beatles, And drug culture, or something.
He must be dead by now.
Not an excuse for breaking our laws.
Send ICE Agents to capture and deport her.
Yes. They need to get things fixed up for those who came here as small children and only know their U.S. culture. It’s inhuman to send them to a foreign culture far from their de facto home.
But we need to get southern border security fixed up, too! Build the wall, and stop sucking in hordes of adults from cultures that are in conflict with ours.
Hard to believe she paid SS all her life and was never notified of her non-citizen status....Oh, wait, we’re talking IRS here......I’d wager there were bureaucratic SNAFUs along the way that led to many not being properly processed....inept business as usual....
Strangely, I feel no urge to fix every problem someone, somewhere possesses.
Culpability is important in law.
For example, a child of six years of age and brought to the U.S.A. by an adult does not have the choice of staying on the other side of the border. The child didn’t commit any crime. As the child grows up in the U.S.A., the child is told that the necessary paperwork was done, and fees paid.
And after the child grows up to adulthood in our culture, it would be damaging and harmful to her to deport her to a foreign culture that she does not understand. It would be as damaging and harmful as deporting a U.S. citizen.
Consider another hypothetical. A teenager is kidnapped, brought to the U.S.A. and escapes soon after. The teen is not culpable and also didn’t commit any crime. But no damage is done in sending her back to her homeland, because the culture of her homeland is hers. She can return to her family, navigate her original culture and work to be housed, fed, etc.
Another hypothetical... A lawyer, unbeknownst to the client, commits a crime in the client’s behalf without the client’s knowledge. The client doesn’t even know that the lawyer undertook the action that constitutes a crime.
The client is not guilty. Correct? The lawyer is guilty. Granted, if the client is responsible for any neglected paperwork or any payments owed by the client if responsible, then the client must do those things.
Have those who grew up from childhood here through no fault of their own do their paperwork, pay their fees and so on.
And pass the necessary funding to get the points of entry secured (the wall, etc.). Then do it. Stop the real-estate-for-green-cards scam, and end the diversity lottery. End the practice of sponsorships of extended family relatives (uncles, cousins, multitudes of children of polygamy,...), and restrict marriage and parent sponsorships to the nuclear family and minor stepchildren. End the big work visa inflows. Very similar cultures with English as their primary language are much less expensive and risky to assume.
My comment #16 is pretty near the plan in progress by the Trump Administration and more truly conservative members of Congress anyway, from what I recall. And it’s quite a step and probably the most that we can hope to attain.
The parents’ fault.
They should have taken the steps to naturalize their children.
I agree. People from foreign countries adopted as little children by American parents should have always been treated as “naturalized” (via their adoption). The law that only changed that going forwars was a mistake, it should have been retroactive.
I feel especially for the man, born in Korea, with a very troubled adopted family past, being shunted from one bad adoptive family to another just as bad, winding up on the streets and falling into crime - that is now jeapordizing his situation here, due to how the nation is trying to deal with all the “illegals”, WHICH HE NEVER WAS.
Those adopted before the law was changed deserve better than they are getting.
At an absolute bare minimum, temporarily, they deserve a “green card” as a full LEGAL resident, because their adoption made them legally here.
Then, with them as legal residents, we have time for Congress to correct its error in not including them in the change that made other foreign adopted kids citizens.
IF she worked in all those places, even with security clearances, she must have had a Social Security number & card in her possession.
Her Soc Sec benefits would be tied to her own earnings.
Something doesn’t match up in this story.
One of my friends is this way. She was adopted from China as a baby.
Cheese and Rice. Build the effing wall, already. Stop this nonsense!!!

>> “I have passed security clearance to work in nuclear plants [and] Air Force bases” <<
How?
You have to state a place and date of birth, among other things. Do they not check any facts before issuing the badges these days?
There’s a bad smell on this one!
