Doesn’t Camela Harris fall into this same category? Born of diplomats?
So just sneak into Mexico, then openly cross the US border and declare “I’m here!”
His troubles are at the insistence of Tehran.
Can he get a green card?
How would he have been given citizenship in 1960 if he is currently 61?
So, a U.S.-born individual obliged to rely on (in the 14th Amendment) a glorified species of naturalization to prove they are a member of our polity obtains, at best, a potentially revocable citizenship.
Surely this individual was never a Natural Born Citizen of the U.S.
An individual born in the US is automatically a US natural citizen, UNLESS their parents were diplomats.
Probably made the mistake of registering as an “R”
I know a family where the kids were all born in the USA years before their foreign-born father became a diplomat. I don’t think their citizenship was revoked.
So, firstly, his family was here at the Shah's bequest, de facto a guest of The Company. That's not exactly "diplomatic relations" with a neutral or foreign country. That is someone as a "military student" that was expected to serve US interests back in Iran.
Secondly, mistake-in-law can lay secondary to mistake-in-fact, where he was granted citizenship, a SSN, he's paid taxes, and made exponentially more of himself than non-citizen grifters with fake (or stolen) SSNs who have never paid taxes but have taken taxpayer money ... the solution is simple, he takes the citizenship test at the front of the line. Problem solved.
