Please provide an authority (i.e. source) for your allegations as to the 3,800+. . An interesting point though. To the best of my knowledge, the thousands of Americans who have died on the soils of all or nearly all European countries in their various wars have not been granted citizenship. But if they were granted citizenship of e.g. France, Poland etc. would their children be eligible for citizenship there? And of course there are the thousands of Jews, Catholics, Gypsies etc who were forcibly removed from e.g. Italy, Austria etc., & executed in places like Treblinka, would they then have then been citizens of Poland? Not to mention the thousands of Dutch, French etc. who died as slave labor in the factories of the recent Reich. I have not heard any of them became retroactive German citizens.

If I am not completely misinformed, about half of them were foreign nationals originally, but they must have been adopted by presidential decree or some other mechanism. A very nice gesture, but the problem I have, were they asked before they became Americans? I heard that if you are born on American soil, you are automatically American or have the right to be, I did not know that it was the same case if you died on American soil.
