Are you really that ignorant?

New born children travel under the mother’s passport; all that is required is a visit to the nearest US Consulate for a stamp, which in this case would have been less than 10 miles away.

You are the ignorant one, only U.S. citizens can travel on a U.S. passport.

Wow! You'd better tell the US Department of State, since they're "that ignorant," too! Look at the misinformation they have on their website:

All minors regardless of age, including newborns and infants, must have their own passport when traveling internationally by air

Quick, give them your expert information and straighten them out! I don't know if that was the way things were in 1961, but you wrote in the present tense. And, I am assuming, you meant travel by air.

On the other hand, non-citizen nationals can also travel under U.S. passport, contrary to kenavi's claim at #74.
