could you hold your FULL stop long enough to post information countering this?

If you are born in Guam or Puerto Rico, you are automatically granted citizenship. If you are born in American Samoa, that isn’t the case. Despite American Samoa’s status as a U.S. territory, the people who are born there aren’t technically U.S. citizens. They’re called U.S. nationals, a status that means they pay American taxes but cannot vote, run for office, or serve on a jury. They also have special passports that declare them nationals, but not U.S. citizens.

Wrong. If the child is born of an American citizen, even if they are born in Samoa, they are a citizen.
