A USC can show up with nothing, declare themselves a citizen and they have to be admitted.

Admitted about 120 feet to the detention cell.

What point of law are you quoting/assuming with such a statement?

In addition, it is in error on its face. How can the person prove he is a US citizen without a passport? Are we to accept the statement of everyone at the border that they are a USC?

This is idiocy .

How can the person prove he is a US citizen without a passport?

With a Geneva Conventions ID card when coming from overseas. With a driver's license if coming from Mexico or Canada.

I've never travelled out of the country using a passport. Orders and ID.

I think that he is trying to imply that anyone in the world can jump on a plane, land in the US and then just tell the Border Officer “F#$% you” before walking past him and entering the US. Awesome plan and constitutionally protected according to some of these brainiacs.

If a person shows up without his passport or other border crossing ID (passport card, nexus, or enhanced license) it is pretty easy to look up the data for those which include a picture. There might be civil penalties involved, but they still can't deny you entry.

It might take a while, but they cannot deny a USC entry to the U.S.
