In its FOIA request, the Justice Initiative sought information regarding the number of derivative citizens whose citizenship had been revoked every year since 1948, along with any policies pertaining to the practice of revoking derivative citizenship. Only the Civil Division complied with its requirement to respond to the request, but stated that it “does not maintain…records regarding derivatives.” Email from Civil Division, Feb. 25, 2019 (on file with the Open Society Justice Initiative). 326.

Due to a lack of reliable, comprehensive data on stateless individuals in the United States, this number is undetermined.

Because the U.S. Constitution and subsequently enacted laws on acquisition by birth are generally inclusive, the laws of the United States do not “create” stateless individuals and the jus soli provision of the Fourteenth Amendment in particular ensures that statelessness is not passed from one generation to the next for children born in the United States. 332. See 12 USCIS, Policy Manual Part H, Children of U.S. Citizens, Chapter 3 – United States Citizens at Birth (INA 301 and 309) (June 6, 2019), https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-h-chapter-3#footnote-4 (“Until the Act of October 10, 1978, persons who had acquired U.S. citizenship through birth outside of the United States to one U.S. citizen parent had to meet certain physical presence requirements to retain their citizenship. This legislation eliminated retention requirements for persons who were born after October 10, 1952. There may be cases where a person who was born before that date, and therefore subject to the retention requirements, may have failed to retain citizenship.”). In Rogers v. Bellei, 401 U.S. 815 (1971), the Supreme Court upheld distinctions between citizens born in the United States and citizens born abroad to American parents on the ground that the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause only covers citizens born or naturalized in the United States.
