a1283: The Double Nationality question (fwd)

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

From: J.David <Jedidiah@lyalls.net>

It occurs to  me that  a person  born in the USA of Haytian parents
would have dual nationality at birth. Is that not so?

What  about a person  born  in  Ayiti  of one  US  citizen and a Haytian
citizen?
I do not recall  the full details  of the bestowing Haytian citizenship, but
is  appears
reasonable that this would result  in  dual nationality as  well.

The refusal of  the Legislature to vote on the dual nationality issue, as
promised
by  Aristide, is ridiculous. Of course, they seem to  have done  nothing  at
all,
rather  like the last  OPL legislature.  What a dissapointment.
