I know many people with 3 and 4, and a couple with 5 and 6 of the actual passports like you; I was just making the point it is more rare, but not unheard of. I have two, and technically had three at one point though I am not illegible now as an adult since things were not handling as I came of age but I am not that worried.

But you are correct. I know people that legally get jus soli and jus sanguinis going back to grandparents so they have four just to start, some get more. Most I have meet are in European/American continents situations but I digress.

boy if conception were the criteria there might be a lot more Mexicans, Jamaicans, and stateless cruise ship "citizens" of the world

As I noted though if that is the case with birth, I would then suggest going with your resident country passport if you have that citizenship. If not you noted all are legal for ESTA so just fill out the ESTA (make sure passport has 2+ years validity) and you are still good to go.

CBP is used to seeing people with multiple citizenships.
