I am a US citizen but my daughter, born in Canada where I was a college student, did not derive my citizenship because of my youth. I brought her back home to the U.S. when she was 6 mo. old. Years later, she, after many applications and appeals, was judged NOT to be a citizen because of MY age. After having to give up on citizenship, she qualified for a green card at age 50 -- with the help of a senator and an amnesty provision for people residing in the US since 1972.

@PatriotSue I could share pictures of my decomposing little baby, if you don't believe me. I still have them. It is the only thing I have of him. He is decomposing, because when the doctors, told me the ultrasound showed by baby was did. I would not believe them. I went home, carrying him inside me for days. Finally, I realized he was dead. He wasn't moving and begged the doctors to induce labor. It was horrific, hearing the cries of live babies and knowing mine was dead. I was 21.

@Flash02021990 My 3 brothers and 2 sisters, suffered greatly for the mistakes of our parents. My father was a drunk, who sexually abused me, from the age of 4, until 9. When I was 9, I fought my father, to get his hands off me and he brutally, brutally beat me. My mother kicked me out into the streets, when I was sixteen. I was raped by 2 men, when I was 18. I got pregnant, from the rape. Lost that baby. Thank God, because the men who raped me, were ugly as fuck. Pt.1

@PatriotSue Now. Was it my fault at 4 years old, my father crawled in bed with me and molested me? Is it my fault, he fucked up my mind and body, to make it almost impossible for me to have children? No. It was my fathers fault, but I paid for my father's sin. Now, should I be allowed to go out and to Break the law and then, get SPECIAL PREFERRED TREATMENT, because my life was harder, because of the sins and crimes of my father? No. When you become an Adult, you stop the cycle.
