Text: In 1994, Congress made the 1934 amendment to S 1993 retroactive for those born before 1934 by passing INTCA. Pub. L. No. 103-416, 108 Stat. 4305, 4306 (1994). Specifically, S 101(c)(1) of INTCA conferred citizenship at birth to all persons born before noon (Eastern Standard Time), May 24, 1934, to an American mother or father. Id. at 4306. The amendment contained an exception, however. This exception, contained in S 101(c)(2), states that the retroactive application of the amendment shall not confer citizenship on, or affect the validity of any denaturalization, deportation, or exclusion action against, any person who . . . was excluded from, or who would not have been eligible for admission to, the United States under the Displaced Persons Act of 1948 . . .. Id. at 4306.
