Want to hear another BS policy? I was born in Japan of 2 US Army officers. So I'm an American citizen. But my Father had to get a special certificate of Immigration for me.

Want to hear another BS policy? I was born in Japan of 2 US Army officers. So I'm an American citizen. But my Father had to get a special certificate of Immigration for me. And when I got married I wanted to change my name so I got in a very long line along with thousands of "immigrants." They had no paperwork and were being processed in easily. I was told to go home and get my certificate before I could legally change to my married name despite having a CA driver's license and birth certificate with me to prove ID. I needed proof of citizenship, they said. !!!!!!!!!!!!
That is nuts!!! We have a neighbor who was born in the US and her husband in Canada. They met and married there, had three kids, and then decided to move to the US. It took almost two years (and an attorney and several court appearances) before he was granted entry here. She was like, "yup, it's a twenty-two year marriage of convenience just so he could get American citizenship mwaaaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaa." She would joke about flying him to Mexico and just having him saunter right in... Sigh.
I used to go to Mexico all the time and when asked where I was born I was held up and put in another line for more questions. Eventually I learned to just say "Kansas" when asked. That way I was waved through...

And they should be vetted. This latest experiment revealed that plainly.
