The situation is perfectly symmetrical, i.e. if a US-born child was illegally moved to Kenya at 3 years of age and became a criminal later in his life, Kenya can also just send him back to the US.
- albertgoeswoof 8y agoNo because that child would be a Kenyan citizen and have the right to remain in their country. Also, he was not illegally moved to the US- Somalia was undergoing a humanitarian disaster & civil war at the time, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Task_Force https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Task_Force for the US support given on the ground. This would absolutely be grounds for seeking asylum.
- DuskStar 8y agoWhy on earth would someone born in the US to US parents become a Kenyan citizen just from living there?
