sorry DC. you gotta wait in line. Israel and Ukraine deserve statehood first
Taxation without representation. I'm pretty sure an entire war was fought about that.
In all seriousness, though, the reasons why DC wasn't a state at the country's founding are no longer valid, and the only reason DC isn't a state now is because it's 45%+ black.
If you're born in
GuamAmerican Samoa, to two US Citizens, you don't automatically become a citizen.You have to apply to become one.
At the nearest embassy.
In New Zealand.
Death to America.
Edited: still, death to America.
Yeah, you don't get automatic citizenship in American Samoa, but if you're born to American parents anywhere, you're a citizen, you just have to file a CRBA, which you can do via the internet, mail, whatever. It is bullshit that it costs $100
Sorry, you're right, I was thinking of American Samoa. I shouldn't conflate them.
Even if jus solis didn't apply, if you are born to an American citizen literally anywhere, you're automatically an American citizen. Of course you do kinda have to be registered at some point.
Make it a State and force all the flags to get placed with the same thing, but another star awkwardly patched on.
US law doesn't specify how the stars have to be arranged, so you can't force that but it is a valid flag
