United States law states that when one parent is a United States Citizen, the child is automatically a United States citizen. When the other parent is not a US citizen, they are granted dual citizenship but still considered, for all intensive purposes, an American citizen. Therefore, your son should refer to himself as a Spanish American.

Stating that he was born in Spain but is a citizen of the US.

He's both. It doesn't have to be one or the other.


Sane
He is a Spaniard as he was born there.

He is whatever you or he decides he is..... I suppose technically, if you live in the states, he would be an American with Spanish roots.

He is American and Spanish. The dual citizenship allows him to claim his status to either countries. So Whatever he prefers to say.

Both Why can't he be proud to be an American and still be proud ofhis Spanishj heritage??

This is a wonderful thing, nothing to try to compromise.
American citzen, born in Spain.
Where is he from, well, if you now live in Miami and moved there from Cleveland, then he's from Cleveland.

MY HUSBAND WAS BORN IN GERMANY.
HIS MOTHER IS GERMAN...HIS DAD IS AMERICAN.
HE MOVED OVER HERE WHEN HE WAS 4 YEARS OLD.

BY THE UNITED STATES INS LAWS.....
IF AT LEAST ONE OF THE BIRTH PARENTS ARE AMERICAN CITIZEN AND HAVE AT LEAST LIVED IN THE UNITED STATES FOR OVER 5 YEARS, THE THE CHILD IS ALSO A CITIZEN.

MY HUSBAND IS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.
HE HAD TO FILE FOR HIS CITIZENSHIP CERTIFRICATE THRU INS.

I just met a Cuban who is 46 lives in Miami for 40 years and denies being American. Says he is Cuban.
I assume at 2 years old its how you indoctrinate. Do like all the other people that come to the USA If the situation benefits him to be American then he is American. At all other times he is Spanish

Well, if your son was born in Spain then that is his heritage, but if someone asks who he is than he is Spanish American. I would guess.

if he was born in spain, then he is spanish...wherever someone is born at, he is that country..but dont worry about it, if he is american too, thats fine, with a passport, even better..

How about SPAM?

Let him call himself whatever he wants to be called. I'm sure as he grows he will change his mind from one to the other and back.

Spanish. He was not born on US soil. But I guess he could be called Spanish American.
