this is not a journal title

It seems from the link rosefox posted in her separate comment that this form is currently only being proposed to be used with people who cannot provide traditional proof of citizenship. For example, for the US citizen children of Mexican fence-jumpers (but who cares about them anyway, they don't deserve to be citizens, right?), for everybody living in a place where the records have been destroyed in a natural or man-made disaster (but it'll be obvious that they should be citizens - if they're white), or for citizens born abroad (but if your parents were that rich to be overseas when you were born I'm sure you'll get a good lawyer so it's okay to put you through hoops).
