But what if the father is an American citizen? Under such a system three kids who grew up living next to my house could lose their citizenship and be deported to Thailand. Their mother never became an American Citizen (she only has a green card) although she has lived here for around 20 years and is married to a American (Former Air Force Reserve). What if by some paperwork error she lost her Permanent Residence status?
Hilariously she was denied a longer stay in Thailand while visiting her daughter from a previous marriage. Since she has been gone so long and doesn't speak Thai very well anymore the government of Thailand treats her as a foreigner.
