How about all the children left behind by American servicemen in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan etc?Are they all also Natural Born Citizens?
Such an excellent question, entropy12. Our FRiends here who are employing industrial strength cognitive dissonance to justify the candidacy of their Canadian-born favorite conservative is astonishing.
There are lots of examples as you state. Another interesting case would be that of any offspring of the Sultan of Brunei who famously kept harems of women from around the world, including desperate Americans who were allegedly paid handsomely. No telling how many potential Presidential candidates were spawned in that den of Islamic misogyny.
But back to your example. There were so many cases of Amerasians fathered by our soldiers in Vietnam that it required legislation. IMMIGRATION legislation of which one example was the American Homecoming Act ...
The American Homecoming Act or Amerasian Homecoming Act, was an Act of Congress giving preferential immigration status to children in Vietnam born of U.S. fathers. The American Homecoming Act was written in 1987, passed in 1988, and implemented in 1989.[1] ...
Let our FRiends here explain why any such laws were needed for these presumably Natural Born Citizens. For anybody wondering how these all these NBC Amerasian presidential candidates fared in life they should read Legacies Of War ...
When the last U.S. military personnel fled Saigon on April 29 and 30, 1975, they left behind a country scarred by war, a people uncertain about their future and thousands of their own children. These children - some half-black, some half-white - came from liaisons with bar girls, "hooch" maids, laundry workers and the laborers who filled sandbags that protected American bases.They are approaching middle age with stories as complicated as the two countries that gave them life. Growing up with the face of the enemy, they were spat on, ridiculed, beaten. They were abandoned, given away to relatives or sold as cheap labor. The families that kept them often had to hide them or shear off their telltale blond or curly locks. Some were sent to reeducation or work camps, or ended up homeless and living on the streets.
They were called "bui doi," which means "the dust of life."
Forty years later, hundreds remain in Vietnam, too poor or without proof to qualify for the program created by the Amerasian Homecoming Act of 1987 that resettles the children of American soldiers in the United States.
God, if only these folks knew they should be here in the USA living the good life, running for President! Since according to our FRiends, these poor folks are not only citizens, but natural born citizens qualified to be President they should be able to walk into an embassy and get red carpet treatment, and perhaps we should declare war on Vietnam and rescue all our natural born citizens. After all, they are all potential Presidents.
There is no explanation for Mark Levin and Ted Cruz and their sycophants diluting and bastardizing the Constitutional requirement down to now meaning: Any offspring of a single American citizen born anywhere on Earth, or perhaps another planet. Yep, I'm sure that is exactly what John Jay meant. Jeez, I sure hope that enemy governments don't raid American sperm banks and raised armies of NBC presidential candidates! A HREF=
By the way Cruz is not even consistent on issue of illegals.
Sure there is. They desire to eradicate national identity over the long run, and substitute family identity in its place. They are globalists, intent on subverting the constitution.
