Speaking of citizenship
95-year-old Leeland Davidson, a World War II veteran discovered that his Iowa-born parents hadn’t registered his birth in Canada, so he finds himself trying to become a citizen late in life;
Schoolcraft says they tried to dissuade him from pursuing the matter. Employees at the local passport office scared them, telling her father “If he pursued it, (he could) possibly be deported or [be] at risk of losing Social Security.”
“We keep telling him, leave it alone, leave it alone, and he won’t, like a dog with a bone,” Schoolcraft told the Centralia Chronicle. But Davidson says: “I want to get it done before I die.”

This guy served. However they grant citizenship now should be made retoactive. Period. Or give him every red cent that he paid into ss/mc and then deport him. This is utter bs.
and,No. I have not read any other comments because before I was rudely interrupted by a tax return issue, I would have been the first commenter! 🙂
As I understand it he has filled out the paperwork and it is on fast track. He should he an offical U.S. citzen soon.
