Jose Miguel Ramos-Hernandez v. Immigration & Naturalization Service
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
BARNES, Senior Circuit Judge:
Petitioner Jose Miguel Ramos-Hernandez (Ramos), who seeks in this proceeding to avoid deportation, was born in Mexico in 1939. His mother is a native-born American citizen, his father a Mexican national. He therefore became an American citizen at birth under § 1993 of the Revised Statutes, as amended by the Act of May 24, 1934 (48 Stat. 797). 1
However, because only one of his parents is an American citizen, Ramos was required by statute to satisfy a residence requirement in order to retain his American citizenship. This requirement has been changed by Congress…
