the children of some U.S. military members and government employees working overseas will no longer automatically be considered United States citizens.

Ridiculous! The military members, at least, were ORDERED overseas by their government. It would never hold up in court.

Read the article.

I know it is against tradition but the headline in this case is quite deceitful.

It’s not true. Just more fake news. Deployed on official orders counts as US residency.

US military members and government workers who are NOT citizens.

I was born in Europe in the 1950’s to a non-citizen, and I was adopted by 2 US citizens. My parents applied for my citizenship when we returned to the states, and I became a naturalized citizen when I was 5.

It sounds to me like President Trump is following ‘“The Law of the Blood” citizenship and eliminating citizenship under “The Law of the Soil”. You must be the natural born child of American citizen to be one. If not, you must become a citizen through naturalization. That was the practice of the USA when I was adopted, and it is the practice in most countries of the world.

I think that would only apply to non citizen enlisted. DACA?
