About your tag line...

I was born in New Zealand, a western close ally to America...

I was in the US military when I became an American citizen...

My brother was in the NZ navy on a ship patrolling the China Sea aiding the American ships and participating in Coral Sea Days..

I had NZ cousins fighting with Americans in Vietnam...

But to become an American citizen I had to raise my right hand and denounce/renounce my allegiance with NZ...I had to swear it...

I could not become an American citizen while I was still tied to another country in any way....there is no such thing as “dual citizenship” our immigration laws do not allow for such an animal...

For the 30 days between casting off my NZ nationalization and being granted American citizenship I was a girl with no country...

My NZ passport was now invalid and I had to surrender it..only my Alien Registration Card AKA green card was my accepted ID ...I did have a drivers license but that wasn’t as strong as my green card..

I couldn’t leave the country during those 30 days since I didn’t have a passport, but I was legally in this country and “documented” with my Alien Registration Card...

I wish people understood just how important that card is and why the so called dreamers should never have received them ...

immigration is not a silly political ploy game ...
