The United States stripped the Romney family of their citizenship for their illegal practice of polygamy in Utah, which is why they emigrated to establish a polygamous colony in Mexico. It was the Edmunds-Tucker Act that punished them for their illegal acts of polygamy, and the act was upheld by the Supreme Court of the U.S. in 1890.
Please show us the naturalization records or other act which restored their previously forfeited U.S. citizenship.
You made this statement. Now you will have to back it up. Please show me the text in the Edmunds-Tucker Act that stripped them of their citizenship.
If you cannot do this, then you need to walk back that statement. It is not true.
It was the Edmunds-Tucker Act that punished them for their illegal acts of polygamy, and the act was upheld by the Supreme Court of the U.S. in 1890.
The punishment outlined in that act was loss of property, fines, and imprisonment. I see nothing in there about stripping them of their citizenship. Do you have any proof that they were punished by our government for violating the Edmunds-Tucker act? Or are you just assuming they were?
Please show us the naturalization records or other act which restored their previously forfeited U.S. citizenship.
Natural born citizens do not have naturalization records. It is only an apparently false allegations that they lost their citizenship. Apparently the U.S. Government did not agree with you.
I like your efforts, WhiskeyX, but I have been unable to locate within the text of the Edmunds Tucker Act anything that strips the Mormon polygamists of their citizenship, though they took away may rights and confiscated property, and invalidated organizations and laws and rules the Mormons had established.
The text of the act is found at 24 United States Statutes at Large at page 635 and following. The following is a pdf file of the statute of 1887 and the pdf page to see is 659, though you need to look on the pages to see which is 635. Constitution.org/uslaw/sal/024_statutes_at_large.pdf
You like to ask for proof, so right here is where I ask the same. There is NO evidence that the Romney family was stripped of their citizenship. Again, you are swimming in deeper water than you were trained for.
