I think this is fuzzy:

This doesn’t address Rubio in any way. It refers, throughout, to citizen parents.

Did you see something in there that I missed?

Citizen parents matters when you are dealing with someone born outside of the US to US citizens. Because otherwise it would suck trying to bring your kid home because they were accidentally born in Japan or whatnot.

In the US, it’s really clear: you’re born here, you’re a citizen. None of this “your parents have to be citizens too or you might have allegiance to another country.” That is one reason why what happened to the Japanese-Americans in WWII is so fucking shitty: some of those were our citizens. (I don’t have the numbers in front of me to say whether or not it was a majority, but let’s be clear: it was not a small number. And it really wasn’t cool to do that to non-citizens either.)

I’m late because my Internet sucked but I’m going to put this up anyway because those questions about “allegiance” are what let some people think that what happened with the internment camps was “okay.”
