Seeing that story blew my mind. I was gobsmacked. WOW.
I, like so many others, was under the impression that any and all babies born in the U.S. were automatically CITIZENS — no questions asked.
Obviously this is NOT so.
And don’t dismiss this as being ‘just a few cases‘.
I don’t have any numbers, BUT I am sure that over the years we have had thousands, if NOT tens of thousands, of such DIPLOMATIC BABIES born in the U.S.
As some of you know, my father was a DIPLOMAT for 27-years — & he was even an Ambassador in D.C. I, until I was 21, had diplomatic immunity. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO ME, but I am a kid that grew up with diplomatic parents. So, this resonates.
Wow. Amazing.
When you think about it, it kind of makes sense.
I am SURE they paid particular attention to this doctor because he was IRANIAN. I am surprised they were doing this level of checking given that he was RENEWING his passport, rather than applying for a new one. I am gobsmacked.
