I was thinking more like the "No Entry Under Any Circumstances" list. AKA the Terror Watch List.

Yes, I get it, thanks. But why would a Conservative British MP be put on an Terrorist Watch List just because he was born in America? Is it because he has had to renounce his American Citizenship in order for American Customs to recognise the fact that he is a British citizen?

We don't do this in reverse. I gave an example previously of Catherine Zeta Jones. British-born: she had a British passport and now has an American one. We wouldn't force her to regain her British passport before allowing her to enter the country. We recognise American passports as belonging to friends and allies. So why do American customs not return the favour?

Hmm, I hope my last post didn't come across as being snarky. There's been a lot of aggravating noise on this thread which has been making me punchy I guess. I'm going home now: no doubt this oddly mis-read article will reappear tomorrow.
