"American law should not be seen as inferior and subject to foreign law - and what you suggest would make it inferior and subject to foreign law. If England decided that any U.S. citizen at age 18 was eligible for English citizenship - would that render every American ineligible for the Presidency? If China made a law that anyone with over 50% Chinese ancestry was automatically a citizen of China - would that render ineligible all Chinese Americans?"

An answer to alternative question will provide answer to your question as well: If England and China passed such laws, could they force a person born in the USA to US citizen parents to serve in their military? The answer is No. Therefore, their laws do not apply to US natural born citizens.

I believe his father came before, returned during the revolution, got his wife out and brought her, so from past memory of reading this, I think they do fall under the asylum law.

Nonetheless, it doesn’t matter about the mother because she became a citizen before Marco was born 10 years after her arrival in the country.

The father had applied for immigration, returned to Cuba, and then reapplied after returning to the US.

Any of those would have been sufficient in 1793.

Thank you for putting that up. I copied and emailed it to myself. Outstanding analysis.

"If you are not being sarcastic, you should be zotted on the spot."

I think you perhaps misunderstood the post. It was not one of praise for redistribution of wealth. It was I believe instead a posit that our federal government is a criminal corporation and that the main difference between the USA's government and that of the USSR is that the US form of corruption and seizure of the wealth of the citizenry is that the US form is more polished and viable, because it is actually smart enough to spread around enough of that ill-gotten gain to the mensch to keep a large percentage of them placid and dependent upon government largesse.

I had to read through the relevant comments in their entirety, and watch a ten minute video linked to by another poster in order to understand the context. itsahoot can of course correct me if I'm wrong in my interpretation.

Thanks for you effort, you got it pretty much nailed it..

One difference that I have noted as I grew older, I had no clue how much of our history was being re-written as I laughed at Post War Russia for their blatant distortion of history.

Nice post here Are we still serious about our Constitution.

Appropriate post for the bicentenial of the War of 1812.
