My name is Toujours. I sleep in a padded cell. Wisely enough they give me an ample supply of choc

The Duke of Manchester's heir, Viscount Mandeville is 13.
His mother, the former Wendy Dawn Buford, of the Anaheim, California Bufords, is American.
This by American standards, would entitle the Viscount to American citizenship should he wish to claim it, regardless of where he was born.
I don't know what the British requirements are.

The British requirements are to turn up do nothing  :thumbsup:

Those sound like ours ... unfortunately our system over here is totally screwed up as people like my husband (a manager from Europe with a Ph.D. & a US (taxed) job had to wait 3 years longer to get a Green Card than several people who were applying for benefits.
"Give me your tired and poor and people willing to work the system ..."

Many people gain citizenship by having more than $ 1 million in assets yet turn around a year later and claim they can't afford to pay the full fees at the state universities. Kiddos get the degrees subsidized by the US taxpayer and go back home to earn wages.
The idiots at the Immigration and Naturalization Services are the same ones who issued Mohammed Atta a Visa posthumously ... so the level of incompetence is really stunning.

Meanwhile we have soldiers getting body parts blown off in Iraq and their families back home have to get by on food stamps ...

Sorry about the rant, it just very annoying.

Yeah....because we just load them onto planes and send them back to where they come from :thumbsup:

Australia is actively seeking skilled migrants..So dizzy..why don't you move here? :teehee:

dizzylizzy13

Aw, boy, if only we could ... it seems like an amazing place to live. The people we have known who've been sent there to work  for a few years have all said it was very hard to leave. Maybe we will someday, but for right now we have to stay in the States and look after some of my (elderly)family members. But still, it's a kind of a dream to think about ...

That's exactly right! Completely agree with the one-way ticket back home immigration policy that is sadly, underused by most countries today.

If the immigrants don't like it in the new country then they need to go back to where they came from, I agree.

I think if someone goes to a country (for a new life or even a few years to work)  they should learn the history, language & customs, and also contribute their taxes and be willing to fight for it (if they become citizens) should the need arise.

And assimilate, da**it!
