This bill does not apply to them. They never became an American citizen. But take the same person from Poland. or Germany. or Cuba who comes here. becomes an American citizen. is naturalized. decides to go back to the home country. they are taxed. We did not know that. It just did not occur to US. I will give you another example. This is at variance of many naturalized citizens. some who fled Cuba or were forced out of Cuba when Castro seized control. in many respects confiscated much of their property. You had engineers and doctors coming here in 1960. 1961. 1962 and went to work in the most menial of occupations here because they had been driven out of their home land and had not yet passed licensure exams here. and had no money here. And over 30 years they have become very successful.
