The American Samoa government says it will appeal a ruling granting U.S. citizenship to those born in the territory. A federal judge recently sided with three American Samoans in Utah who want to be recognized as citizens. But many in American Samoa say they’re happy being U.S. nationals who can’t vote in most federal elections or run for office outside the islands. They fear being granted birthright U.S. citizenship would threaten American Samoa’s way of life, which includes communal living and set times for family prayer. An attorney for the three seeking citizenship says the territory’s customs and cultures evolve, and there are laws protecting them.
