I'm from the UK, my wife is from Singapore, and our son was born in the US. I really don't think it's appropriate to force him to pledge allegiance to the US, because he has strong ties to other countries. It feels like brainwashing.

I don't think they can force you. There was even a legal case I think.

I'm sure it will be over turned soon. Precident and clear readings of the US constitution don't matter much nowadays.
