As someone who is considering naturalising as a US citizen stories like these make me dubious. It is seemingly arbitrary bureaucratism. I am often nervous crossing borders for the same reason, such as the Mexican border recently. I don't have the entitlement of nationalism any longer, I exist in a slightly post-national and trans-national legal form.
I really enjoy it in the United States and would hate to be thrown out, or made some curious form of statelessness because of a bureaucratic oddity.
The US has become my home.
