apply for citizenship for them

This is a real dick-punch to our servicemen/women stationed overseas

Responses:

That's a dick move, but what does it mean to single out service members? Does this already affect non-service citizens? -- nm - Max Aug 28, 13:16 9
- it applies to non-service government employees also - decline Aug 28, 13:18 8
  - I mean, I thought if a kid is born to a citizen parent it doesn't matter where they're born, they're automatically a citizen too, no? -- nm - Max Aug 28, 13:19 7
    - The clarification is that it mostly applies to Green Card holders and the like, not existing citizens. -- nm - Reagen Aug 28, 13:27
    - Would that it were so simple. - Baron Universe Aug 28, 13:26
    - This would change that. -- nm - Qale Aug 28, 13:21 2
      - But what I don't get is that doc focuses on residence location and not parental citizenship status. - Max Aug 28, 13:24 1
        
        It sounds like it’s telling them that future kids born are going to the back of the line. -- nm - Qale Aug 28, 13:30
    - It used to be that way, right? (Ted Cruz, US citizen, born in Canada) -- nm - decline Aug 28, 13:20 1
      - John McCain - born in the Canal Zone. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 28, 13:23
Mutiny time. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 28, 13:15 1
- He just doesn't want a future Ted Cruz to be president -- nm - Beryllium Aug 28, 13:16
wow. -- nm - Andie Aug 28, 13:14
I assume there will be a court challenge? -- nm - Mop Aug 28, 13:14
What the fuck is wrong with him? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 28, 13:14 2
- So many things. It will take a long time to answer this. -- nm - Diva Aug 28, 13:19
