I recognize the possibility that this guy is getting screwed by bureaucrats.

But I also recognize that this is a journalist hit-piece designed to wring sympathy for all of those (actual) illegal immigrants who were brought to the US when they were three and who do not want to be forced to live in their home country (which might not be the UK but which might be ... I don’t know ... Mexico??)

The media is very good at finding sympathetic stories and then using these as the camel’s nose beneath the tent to then casually say — “So ... you admit that amnesty for 20 million illegals is a good idea — right???”

In other words, this story is about a guy living in the UK, but in my opinion, this story is not about a guy living in the UK.

I saw it as a plant by Ted Cruz to try to establish that he was a Natural Born Citizen.

A verified US citizen cannot be denied entry. A few more hoops to jump through to prove citizenship, but once proven entry is granted. They can’t keep a US citizen out.

You’ve nailed it.
