A married gay couple are taking legal action against a Trump administration policy that has hindered their baby daughters fight for US citizenship.
Roee and Adiel Kiviti, who are both US citizens, ran into trouble with the State Department after welcoming baby Kessem via a surrogate in Canada earlier this year.
The couple are both listed on Kessems Canadian birth certificate, but the State Department treats the children of same-sex couples as born out of wedlock, only recognising her link to biological father Adiel.
The out-of-wedlock status has hindered the application for the birthright citizenship that she would be entitled to if her parents were recognised as a married couple.

A child born abroad (out of wedlock) to a US citizen father is a US citizen, but there are a bunch of requirements to check off.
These jokers want the law for a child born to two married USC parents to apply.
The issue is not one of discrimination, the issue is that the law requires a biological relationship in this case, which only one of them has.
I think you missed the part that states that the biological father is not a citizen, just merely same-sex married to the naturalized US citizen. They appear to have deliberately used an innocent child to try to force a change to US law.
Yeah, I am sick of foreigners coming here and immediately trying to change US law. It may sound harsh, but I think they should all be deported. JMHO
Well, there is never a back story on these things:
“...Adiel had only lived in the US for four years and ten months when Kessem was born, which is below the five-year requirement for birthright citizenship.”
And the baby was born in Can-uh-Duh by a surrogate...
Monogamy = Mono + Gamete = One Haploid Sperm + One Haploid Ovum = One Diploid Zygote.
That cannot happen from two XY males or two XX females. Period.
The baby has no biological connection to an American citizen and no legal connection since the two adults who claim this poor baby are not married. They are just raising a fuss - standard procedure for the LGBTQIDIOTs.
Actually, according to the article they are both USCs, but the bio dad did not meet the five year residency requirement, so they are trying to claim it via two USC parents.
The government made the right call.
Canadian citizen by birth.

Just like Ted Cruz.
Not yet, but a liberal group is trying to create a male egg and female sperm... and male uterus transplant, too... How messed up...
I guess I was under the mistaken impression that one had to be a legal resident of the US for 5 years to become a citizen. If that is not a law, it should be. Thanks for the clarification though!
Were supposed to believe that two guys can conceive and birth a baby together.
And these people get mad at us for recognizing reality?
Youre not getting it. These reprobates want to amend reality to deem them to BOTH be BIOLOGICAL parents of the children they concoct, THE SAME AS MAN/WOMAN COUPLES. They really want to force us to say that they conceived the child together.
We don't know how these guys got their citizenship...they may have themselves gained it via blood transmittal from their parent(s).
I do get it, its just astoundingly breathtaking in its stupidity.
Interesting info.
Can his spouse claim him on his taxes?
