• After a Life of Action, Springs Can Be 'Too Quiet'

Rudy Garcia has a lot of baggage. Some is displayed in his Monument home. Most is stored in memory. The retired U.S. Foreign Service specialist has trekked in, worked in or lived in about 85 countries since he was born in the Philippines 58 years ago. These days, a typical expedition is to the nearby Home Depot. He lingers at airports every chance he gets. "I like to listen to people speaking in foreign languages. When I was overseas, the airport was my bus station," he says. About 12,000 Foreign Service workers staff some 265 posts worldwide as support to diplomats, ambassadors and consuls.

The phrase "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" was intended to exclude from automatic citizenship American-born persons whose allegiance to the United States was incomplete, as well as foreign visitors, ambassadors, consuls and any babies born to them here. In the case of illegal aliens, their native country has a claim of allegi...
