Create an organization of US citizens that adopts Illegal Aliens a few days before their 18th birthday.

Bwahahahahahha! If you had any idea how ridiculous that is to anyone who knows ANYTHING about international adoption, you'd hang your head in embarrassment.

"Scheduling" an adoption is like herding cats.

I guess you have never been involved with an international adoption. They involve a lot of complex bureaucratic interaction with multiple government agencies, months and months of waiting, and usually you end up with a pile of documents six inches tall at least before the adoption even occurs.

If our government watched other kinds of immigration as closely as they do international adoptions we wouldn't be nearly as worried about dangerous immigrants, and we wouldn't have millions of illegal immigrants in our country.

So no, there is no requirement for a U.S. lawyer to be involved unless the kids were re adopted in the US - ours weren’t

We did do the readoption thing, but that had absolutely no effect on her status as an American citizen. So long as both parents are present to "pick-up" the child from the original country, citizenship is automatic.

Wow, who pissed in your cornflakes this morning? Do you need to go hide in your safe space? And what did I say that has anything to do with you?

So this thread is about Cruz, and Roberts, now?

Sucks don't it?

That is interesting. I can see then how someone wouldn’t give citizenship a thought, but it still seems wrong to me that it wouldn’t be automatic.

This is just another example of what’s wrong with our current immigration laws: everything.

Sucks that his parents are retarded.

He could have been shot in Chicago by the last bunch the scumbags in DC made legal.

He’s ahead of the game.

Literally, the more you care about crossing every "t" and dotting every "i," the more bureaucratic abuse you have to take....

I adopted a girl from Korea via Catholic Social Services.

Getting her US citizenship was just part of their process — no problems at all.

That was my question also....Did Justice John Roberts do this for his 2 adopted children....probably illegally from Ireland instead of Central America.

But it seems like half the time they are dotting the “i’s” and crossing the “t’s” and the other half of the time they’ve torn up the rules altogether and gone on a drinking binge.

This doesn’t help good people at all in anyway, but it’s great for malefactors of all kinds.
