Now you’re just being foolish.

No country can just decide to make you a citizen.

All four of my grandparents came from Ireland, and, yes, I can file for Irish citizenship and an Irish passport, but Ireland can’t decide on it’s own to make me an Irish citizen.


However the US State Department provides “guidance” for persons who were conferred automatic foreign citizenship as minors.

Doesn’t have anything to do with my post.

Are you confused?
