That's great. As an American, she can disagree and vote accordingly. By our constitution, no one is owed citizenship. It's a irrevocable courtesy extended based upon following our laws.
You must’ve slept through both civics and history classes.
The 14th amendment to the US constitution grants unconditional (and thus, irrevocable) citizenship jos soli.
Naturalization indeed is mandated by the nationality law and not the constitution, yet it ain’t a courtesy. There’s a list of requirements, which once fulfilled mandate the US to grant a person a citizenship.
As for revoking US citizenship, this just not a thing: a person can rescind their own citizenship, but this requires a deliberate action from the person rescinding it. And naturalization can be deemed void, which is not the same as revoked, as it requires a failure in the granting, not a decision after it.
Furthermore, the UN declaration of human rights (ratified by the US, and drafted by one Eleanor Roosevelt), mandates that “No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality".
So no, it ain’t courtesy. It’s a universal right, that is ratified in the US constitution, US nationality law, and multiple court decisions.
As for Emma Lazarus, she died in 1887, thirty three years before the US constitution was amended to stop denying voting rights from women.
Yeah, that's not what we are talking about. We are talking about naturalization, which is the process of taking someone who is a citizen of another country and making them a citizen of this country.
A child born in this country is entitled to citizenship.
I didn't mention revoking US citizenship. I literally said it's an irrevocable courtesy, which means it cannot be revoked once granted.
> Furthermore, the UN declaration of human rights (ratified by the US, and drafted by one Eleanor Roosevelt), mandates that “No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality".
The UN Declaration of Human Rights is subject to the United States constitution when being interpreted by US courts.
