OA310: Citizenship and the Military and...

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Today's Rapid Response Friday takes a look at the recent Trump Administration memorandum "clarifying" the rules on military citizenship for children born to U.S. employees -- largely, those in the armed forces -- serving overseas. Is it as bad as you've heard? (Yes.) Is it actually worse than that? (Yes.)</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>First, though, we continue to revisit the apportionment question discussed in <a href= "https://openargs.com/oa307-apportionment-the-census-fight-is-not-over/"> Episode 307</a>. Have we finally crowdsourced a solution? The answer may surprise you!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>After that, it's time for a deep dive into the <a href= "https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/policymanual/updates/20190828-ResidenceForCitizenship.pdf"> latest policy manual update from the department of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services</a> "clarifying" that servicemembers living overseas don't actually count as "living in the United States." Will this cause Trump-supporting military members to vote for Elizabeth Warren in 2020? (No.) Should it? (Yes.) Is it <strong>way, way worse than you could possibly imagine</strong>? Oh yes.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>After that, it's time for a very brief Andrew Was Wrong (the best kind!).</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Then, it's time for an all-new Thomas Takes the Bar Exam, in which we have... something approaching "Don't Take Legal Advice From A Podcast" Law? You won't want to miss this question involving a disgruntled landlord and a put-upon law student. Can Thomas break his losing streak? Listen and find out!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Appearances</span></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>None!
