You’re confusing the issues. Those military dependents born overseas? With two US parents and born at a US military situation might even be natural born. Even if they aren’t it wouldn’t be their citizenship that would be questioned. They’d be in NO chance of being deported.
You bring up an interesting point that resonates with me. My brother was born in the Philippines in 1958. Our parents are both natural born U.S. citizens that were there on active duty military duty.
Yet when my brother joined the Navy in 1975 he was notified that he couldn’t get a TS clearance because he was a ‘dual citizen’. He had to go through the court system and file the paperwork to renounce the Philippine citizenship.
Obviously at one point in time Place of Birth as well as parentage had a very real value to the person involved in the resolving of citizenship.
That’s interesting. Your brother was a dual citizen, and the path to getting top security clearance was very clear. Does that mean that Cruz shouldn’t have even been eligible for top secret clearance until about two years ago?
