Sorry, but this kid happened to be born here to foreign parents who left to return to Turkey. There is no evidence that he ever returned to the US to claim US citizenship. If he's really an American, he's barely an American.

I'm sure that this won't be pointed out in the media.

a 19-year old HIGH SCHOOL student? Studying social science in some backwater town in central Turkey? That just does not pass the smell test.

A forensic report said he was shot at close range, with four bullets in his head and one in his chest, according to the Anatolian news agency.

Nice grouping of shots there.

This U.S. now is full of people whose allegiance to it is suspect, at best.

At the risk of being a reactionary, I think we do have to revisit granting citizenship to ‘anchor babies.’ And, we seriously have to look at the process of granting citizenship through naturalization.

Not that long ago, people had to renounce their homeland citizenship and did so gladly. Now too many want the perks of US citizenship, but to retain their allegiance to the old country, People used to have to study and be able to answer basic questions about the US and its Constitution and history. They used to have to attend personally a naturalization ceremony. And they used to love it and their new country.

There was a time, not that long ago, when naturalized citizens were the strongest, most ‘American’ folks around. They loved this country and all it stood for. Frankly, I am not seeing much of that any more.

....the town of Kayseri in central Turkey..

Kayseri was once called Caesarea, and the Cappadocian Father Basil the Great was a Bishop there.

Much, much later, it was the home of the family of the great Greek-American filmmaker Elia Kazan.

Stolen Christian land?
