And those I was referring to were born in Israel, and some never set foot in the US till they had a reason to come. Yet they have US Passports and are citizens since at least 1 parent was. Better put my friends were born and raised in The US, their kids some born US some Israel are all married and are US citizens with US passports and their kids who never were in the US (mind you their parents grew up in Israel and never lived for any length of time in The US) are US citizens since their parents are and like their parents never lived in The US for any length of time or some never set foot on US soil yet at least.
Even better an Israeli married an American gir zedakis and has 11 kids, all living up in Zefat. When they were giving out the stimulis $$$ they got it too close to 16K each time. The key was being a US citizen , not 1 of those 11 kids every set foot on US soil.
