I don't disregard Jus Sanguinis. My children are NBC because of Jus Sanguinis.
Jus Sanguinis applies to children born OVERSEAS of U.S. parent(s). My children are NBC because I meet the requirements. How do I know they are NBC?
(1) Because they are not naturalized; they received a U.S. Birth Certificate from the American Embassy; Jus Sanguinis.
(2) They were born on U.S. soil (USAF Base in England); That qualifies them under Jus Soli as well. They would have still qualified under Jus Sanguinis even if they were born in a London Hospital. I though you knew Vattel?
(3) I met residency in U.S. requirements before being stationed in London. I was born in the U.S. making me NBC via Jus Soli.
Get your facts straight. Jus Sanguinis applies ONLY to children born overseas of two parents....that is clearly spelled out. Jus Soli confers citizenship to native born citizens regardless of parents unless they are diplomats and hopefully illegal immigrants. That is clearly spelled out.
You and all the other misinformed people are getting the two confused. You can't apply Jus Sanguinis if you are born in the U.S.; only if you are born outside the U.S. of U.S. parents. Can I be clearer than that?
Lastly, I don't appreciate the comment you made: (You desire your children to be natural born citizens. It appears that they aren't due to your decisions.)
My decision? Since when do military personnel decide where they are stationed? Obviously you have never served your country. What are you a draft dodger? A Conschie? You disgust me. If you never served in the military I don't even want to hear back from you. How dare you insult me like that?
Be sure to read this page...
@The LAWS section includes several legal resources linked on the left of this page. These links include information on:
Published USCIS regulations in Title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations (8 CFR)
Statutes governing immigration law in the Immigration Nationality Act
Everything the USCIS covers is via statute. Natural born citizens need no statutes to make them such.
Perhaps you should have read this before mentioning where you get your concepts from...
@Citizenship for Military Personnel & Family Members
Members of the U.S. armed forces and their dependents (spouses and children) may be eligible for citizenship, to include expedited and overseas processing, under special provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). (@Immigration and Nationality Act)
BTW, keep this in mind when you're arguing against naturalization at birth...
@Citizenship
If you meet certain requirements, you may become a U.S. citizen either at birth or after birth.
Remember, natural born citizens don't need statutes (like the INA/USC 8) to make them natural born citizens.
