Just ask all of those kids from the Vietnam War era about being the child of an American citizen born abroad but not registered with a CRBA; even the Amerasian Acts passed in the 1980s only gave legal residency here in the U.S., not citizenship --- and that was only to the lucky few allowed that much. Indeed, even now only about 50% of the 30,000 people who came to the U.S. under the 1987 act have acquired American citizenship.
Vietnamese Amerasians in America.
I suspect that too.
