Congratulations, you've won a new straitjacket. (The old one must be worn out by now, so this prize is timely.)

Yes, you win babbler of the year. After 257 comments, a possible record, I still don't really understand what your point is. Other than being a pissed off anti American wannabe Canadian. Man it must have been a very long and cold winter this year. A very very sad rant huetepecker head.

As far as I can tell, the Carter-era citizenship determination boards that OP was talking about are entirely a figment of OP's imagination. Carter gave an unconditional pardon to draft evaders (not to deserters). There was never a question of either evaders or deserters losing their US citizenship, as far as I can tell or recall.

Can anyone figure out if there is a germ of reality behind what OP says?

This is getting fun. By all means check out this information. Dig deep. Dig deeper, until you find these boards I speak of. Amnesty was not, repeat not, unconditional for the draft dodgers of Canada.

While you are at it, refamiliarize yourself with the definition of deserter. Canada was a refuge for no less...

If he was born in the US and emigrated to Canada as a kid, then it's quite possible that he did acquire Canadian citizenship and had been previously able to enter the US without US documents, in violation of the law.

The rest of the thread, not so much.

That's my impression too.

I was asking specifically about the supposed citizenship determination boards for Vietnam era draft evaders. I don't expect anyone to turn up evidence that such a thing existed, but I was wondering if anyone could speculate about what if anything lay behind OP's fantasy.

If anything lay behind OP's story,,, I guess it would shock you no end. You sound like a child opening your eyes for the first time.
