US citizenship rules should be the height of simplicity.
1. A person born and one or both parents are US citizens. The only birthright citizenship.
2. A legal entrant to the US who goes through the naturalization process.
Someone might think of an odd exception, but those two conditions would cover 99% plus situations. And that’s probably what was intended until a misinterpretation here and a judicial activist there confused matters.
My parents were born to immigrants who were not naturalized at the time.
So my parents were never citizens, which in turn means I am not a citizen because I was born to non-citizens.
That probably happened to millions of our families.
