I posted about Venezuelan students who had a baby while here at school and then returned to Venezuela and raised her there.
Ok. So should that American child lose her citizenship in America because of choices that her mom made? No. I don’t see how that’s fair.
Let’s look at it from another direction. Mom and dad are American citizens. Mom kidnaps child to Venezuela and keeps her there, despite the objections of the American father.
Fast forward 15 years. Mother dies. What happens to the child?
