BTW naturalization takes 5-10 years.
Don’t repeat the utter bullshit that one can be “naturalized at birth” which is complete horse manure.
It takes 5-10 years to be naturalized, including taking the oath of citizenship and being sworn in by a judge.
I was adopted by an American military family stationed in Germany, upon US entry at Boston, a 3 minute hearing was conducted in chambers where the judge signed the naturalization documents...I was an infant, no oath.
“I was adopted by an American military family”
An adoption is not naturalization.
But adoption DOES help thick-headed people understand the Constitution.
One can be the NATURAL child of parents.
Or one can be the ADOPTED child of parents, created by operation of law.
So a NATURAL born citizen is one who is a citizen NOT through a legal procedure.
A citizen who is not a natural born citizen is a citizen through a legal proceeding — similar to being adopted.
” upon US entry at Boston, a 3 minute hearing was conducted in chambers where the judge signed the naturalization documents”
Absolutely false.
There had to be MONTHS of previous paperwork, applications, court decisions, etc.
I am doing an adoption right now.
You have to provide notice to the biological parents, get their consent, get everything in order.
My friend from Eastern Europe became a US citizen last year.
It took her 10 years to become a US citizen.
The final swearing in ceremony took maybe 10 minutes.
But there were 10 years of preparation BEFORE that final day.
It is impossible to be naturalized at birth.
NOTE: We are not talking about being an infant. We are talking about AT BIRTH — at the moment of birth.
Ted Cruz was a US citizen at the moment he took his first breath. So he is a natural born citizen.
You cannot be naturalized at the moment of birth. That is utter nonsense.
