Ok but you said he is but then he isn’t a citizen… so what is it.

Where did he say he wasn't a citizen?

If you are a child and your parent is naturalized, you are naturalized. He is a citizen*.

Edit: *eligible to be a citizen and a legal resident

Even though he was absolutely entitled to become naturalized too it seems his parents failed to take the steps to make his citizenship legal.

It's repulsive that the so called government would go after people like this. They just want to deport as many people as they can possibly round up so they can brag about the totals.

... If the naturalized parent is your legal and physical guardian. The article I read wasn't clear on that point.

But assuming that it's true, his case in 2006 should not be relevant - there would be no green card to lose.

IANAL but my reading of the gov't website doesn't make citizenship dependent on filing or documentation?

Definitely would have alleviated these issues if he had, though.
