Clearly there are more potential voters crossing our southern border than there are in U.S. Territories. Political calculus 101.

Obama: Citizenship Not A Fundamental Right for Virgin Islanders (http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-37085076.html)


ST. THOMAS - In a legal brief filed last week, the Obama administration took the position that citizenship is not a fundamental right of people born in unincorporated U.S. territories.


The lawsuit is Tuaua v. United States, and it is about American Samoa's citizenship rights. While the situation in American Samoa is different than in the U.S. Virgin Islands, the outcome of the litigation could impact citizenship rights for Virgin Islands residents as well
