FACT or CRAP ?



FACT

The U.S. has unconditional birthright citizenship for persons born in America, and that includes the territorial airspace.
There are not " air orphans " in America!


So guess if my HRSB has that while she's flying down to mom's house I can claim it as American



Also crap for today's ?

Contact with this shrub has driven some animals--and some humans--to commit suicide.
