PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI:
The questions presented for review
are all outlined under the heading: RE-
lief sought in this Petitjon, so will iot
be repeated. The Parties involved are all
listed on the Front Cover of this Writ &
in the TABLE OF CONTENTS.
JURISDICTION:
This is based on the OPINION of the
TENTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS, of Aug-
usr 27,1982, and that Courts Denial of a
Rehearing dated October 6,1982, reproduc-
ed in the APPENDIX THAT FOLLOWS.
Also: Title 28,U.S.C. 2101 & 2403-a;
STATUTORY PROVISIONS INVOLVED:
The IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT
of 1952 is being challenged as Un-Consti
-tutional.
STATEMENT OF THE CASE PRESENTED:
It is estimated that there are more
than 300,000 illegitimate children, fath-
ered by American Service Men who will be
directly affected by the outcome of this
case. The rights of these unfortunate U.S
Citizen Children who are being denied all
Constitutional Rights by Whim and not bas
-ed on any Law or the U.S. Constitution
are in a state of complete confusion, and
these rights are in desperate need of cla
-rification.
As treated now thes? unfortunate ill
-egitimates are rel©Zateu to a low form of
"Second Class Citizenship’ where it is
made next to impossible for any of them to
benefit from the fact that they are as much
a U.S. Citizen as are the remainder of us..
The cruelty administered is almost unbeliey
able as so accurately mentioned in many TV
Page (1).
Documentaries, and Syndicated writers a
large number of which have en outlined
in the Congressional Record, and also re-
produced in the file now held by the Tenth
Circuit Court of Appeals.
Defendant's representatives are able
to continue this harsh, sadistic, and cru
-el as well as grossly unfair treatment of
these ‘Second Class Citizens' they have
created by whim rather than based on any
law or the U.S. Constitutior mainly because
law is in such a complete state of uncert
-ainty and confusion. And this uncertainty
has existed for more than 85 years or when
our Service Men first went to the Philipp
ines around 1898. tt is time that the mea
-ning of this IPMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY
ACT be clarified by the Supreme Court.
The United States i:: being criticized
all over the World for its misbehavior,
its sadistic denial of all human and Civil
Rights to these ‘Love-Children' who suffer
untold hardships through no fault of their
own, and a failure of the United States to
recognize its obligation to these ‘Second
Class Citizens that have for so long been
ignored so cruelly,
The primary reasons for bringing this
Writ is an intent to try and help these un
-fortunate children who this Petitioner has
seen by the thousands in many countries
where military bases are located,
The SECOND REASON FOR PROSECUTING
CASE. is of far less important or signi
ficant. It relates to the mang frauds and
Torts practiced against Petitioner by the
Defendants as fully detained in the Amend-
ed Complaint, «nd accompanying Affidavit
re-produced in the Appendix of this Writ .
It should be further noted that this Pet-
ioner has in not one instancebeen permitted
to put input into this case, aj}
Opinions, and rulings by Trial Court having
Page (2).
been resolved by Trial Judge and Defendants
attorneys with never the Plaintiff-Petioner
ever being permitted to put input into this
case. The entire trial and appeal to this
point has been a sham, a farce, where all
Constitutional Rights have been denied to
Petitioner.
Even the Tenth Circuit continued the
farce, and in its Opinion chose false facts
to base the Opinion on, which of course made
Opinion seem reasonable when in fact it is
a.monster of denial of all Constitutional
Rights. This wi'’ be discussed in depth .
later on. ie
In the Amended Complaint which is re-
produced in the Appendix the basis for the
Juruisdiction of the District Court is in
depth pleaded so will not be repeated here.
In factsfacts pleated along with the
Affidavit of January 2, 1979 accompanied
by the many references to the Congressional
Record and the numerous articles by Syndi-
cated Writers is all the proof needed to
set up a cause of action, and the denial
to have these facts tried to a jury is a
denial of basic Constitutional Rights to a
fair and impartial trial:
It is absolutely impossible for any
father of any illegitimate child to ever
comply with the demands made to him by the
representatives of Defendants so as to get
U.S. Citizenship for his child without br-
inging a law suit. Petitioner has witness
-ed hundreds of such fathers attempt to get
Citizenship, and he has never seen one suc
-ceed But just as soon as a lawsuit is fi
-led, Defendants come running in as they
did with this Petitioner and offer to sett
-le the case by granting the U.S. Citizen
-ship.This is of course unwarranted, and a
terrible unneeded expense.
If Defendants dare deny this Petiti-
ener challenges Defendants to produce and
such a case to this Honorable Court.
Page (3).
The purpose of such harrassment by the
Defendants is to financially exhaust all
applicants so that they will go away and
quit bothering Consular Officials so that
all illegitimates are prevented from enter
-ing into the United States irrespective
as to whether or not they are in fact enti
-tled to U.S. Citizenship. As previously
observed cases, unless a lawsuit is brought
are decided by whim, and no father of any
illegitimate is ever permitted to gain such
such Citizenship without first bringing a
law suit.
And even then, regardless of the large
expenses such fathers are forced to needles
sly make by this gross misbehavior, lies &
openly practice of fraud, the Plaintiff by
such tactics as practiced against this Peti
-tioner is denied all rights to a fair and
impartial trial before a jury. If any indi
-vidual or business ever dared practice
even 1/20 of what Government Officials have
done to this Petitioner, they would be boi
-led in oil... Government Officials should
not be granted such immunities for it enco
-urages the practices as outlined in Petit
-ioners Affidavit of January 2, 1979 that
is reproduced in this Writ in Appendix.
As a result of the lies and misbehavi
-or pleaded this Petitioner lost some
25,000 dollars. (See Affidavit and Amended
Complaint in Appendix). Petitioner even
offered to pay the expenses of witnesses
from the Philippines and Korea who know
facts but his Complaint, inorder to pro-
tect misbehaving Government Officials, was
dismissed as outlined above with a denial
to Petitioner of all Constitutional Rights.
To this point the entire proceedings stinks
with the qrossest type of misbehavior prac
-ticed at all levels of this case to this
points, nost immediately after filing this
case and exactly as the pattern described
above was outlined, Defendants came running
Page (4); ;
to Plaintiff-Petitioner claiming a simple
error on their part and offered to give
Citizenship to his four daughters if Peti
-tioner would drop his damage claims, and
which he agreed to do. However beCause he
did not trust Defendants as a result of
their past lies, fraudulent practices and
other gross misconduct, he retained the
right to reopen the case.
A Stipulation of Settlement was enter
-ed into and which is part of the Appendix
in this Writ.Defendants did not fulfill
what was agreed to in Mr Lights letter
of December 20,1979 or in the Stipulation
dated September 6, 1979. Through lies and
intentional fraudulent practices they caused
Petitioner to rake a fifth useless trip to
Manila,and when Petitioner arrived at the
Consulate in Manila he discovered that:
(1) :Manila Consulate had not been sent
one single paper or notification they were
supposed to have been sent by Defendants;
(2): Consulate first refused to give
the Citizenship to Petitioners four children
but then agreed to make contact with State
Department if Petitioner would advance money
for telephone calls and telegrams and
thus caused Petitioner to have to remain in
Manila for some three weeks attempting to get
the mess unraveled that developed as a result
of Defendants failure to comply with Settle
-ment agreement.
(3): That the letter from Mr Light was
never sent to Manila Consulate, and they
were given a copy of same by Petitioner,
which they refused to recognize or comply
with.
(4): Visas were given to Petitioners
four children but were refused for the mothers.
Petitioner immediately returned to the
U.S. and filed Affidavit fully expla tion
what happened, and then an Amended Complaint.
Page (5).
Complaint, (all filed) were dismissed
with a claim that Petitioner had not submi
-tted sufficient evidence to support his
pleadings. Petitioner offered his several
Affidavits that were sworn to under oath
and then offered to pay the way of witnes
-ses into the U.S. in support of facts he
had pleaded, and which facts are in depth
outlined in the numerous articles in Cong
-ressional record and the many T.V. docu-
mentaries and Syndicated Columnists.
All the above is fully detailed in
Amended Complaint and Affidavit contained
in the Appendix, and in much greater detal)
in the record now in the hands of Tenth
Circuit Court of Appeals, in Denver, Col.
And in particular note that all these rul.
-ings were made with only Defendants lawy
-ers and the Judge in trial court in Albu
-que preparing same. No hearings were
held or was Petitioner even informed when
all these papers were being prepared again
-st him by Defendants lawyers and the trial
judge. In other words to date this has
been a complete 'Railroad-Job' where alt
Civil, Human, and Constitutional Rights
have been denied Petitioner.
Everything as outlined here is contai
-ned in official records, and repeated aft
-er Tenth Circuit made its Opinion, and
confirmed said Opinion even after having
all called to its attention once more.
Here is where Tenth Circuit after hav
-ing same called to its attention none the
less chose false facts to make its Opinion
appear just and reasonable. If truth was
contained in Opinion many knowledgeable
parties would raise up in indignation for
as observed this entire trial has been an
absolute farce and sham from beginning to
the end,
Page (6).
Opinion says of the Stipulation Agree
-ment that was supposed to settle case, &
of Mr Lights Letter that the agreement was
that:, Application rs visas for mothers
would be prompty considered"
But observe that Stipulation and Mr Lights
letter actually says a much different thing
when it says:
"The Embassy has also requested,per agree
-ment to prompty process any visa applicat
-ions which might be submitted on behalf of
the mothers of the children or their serva’
-nts.”
The meaning is vastly different. This
is fully illustrative of the frauds, lies,
and other misbehavior always practiced aganst
all fathers of illegitimate children who
try to get U.S. Citizenship for their chil
-dren.
RELIEF SOUGHT BY THIS WRIT:
The Petitioner and his four daughters have
ail peep yyversery if ected by all twelve
0 the Ollowing rulings that are challeng
-ed here & outlined below:
(1): To deny minor children,who are
U.S. Citizens an opportunity to live with
and have the advantages of a loving mother
is a denial of Civil, and Human Rights.
(2): It is cruel and inhuman txveatment
to have made these U.S. Citizen children
choose between the benefits of living in the
U.S. as Citizens and the major benefits that
would have come from having their mcthers
available in the U.S. to care for their
children.
(3): To rule that a child must reach
twenty one years of age before he can peti-
tion its mother when illegitimate, and to
not require same of legitimate children vi-
PLPESEmELS SAyideand human rights of these
Page (7).
(4): There is only one class of U.S
Citizen, and to give special rights and
privileges to legitimate children and to
deny similar rights to illegitimate foreign
born children is a failure to give due pro
-cess under the Constitution of the U.S.
(5); All that is required for either
an illegitimate or an legitimatechild to
become a U.S. Citizen is for that child to
have one parent who is a U.S. Citizen.
(6): To require a different set of pr-
oof from the illegitimate child to est >lish
such Citizenship than is required of a
legitimate child is a denial of Civil, Hum-
an rights and a denial of Due Process un-
der the Constitution.
(7): To prevent a parent to pass on
Citizenship to its child just because that
parent has not resided in the United States
if that parent is otherwise a U.S. Citizen,
is a Denial of Due Process under the Con-
stitution.
(8): To reauire a different set of
rules to establish Citizenship for ill-
egitimate children from their father than
is required of a U.S. Citizen Mother to get
Citizenship for her child is a failure to
give due process under the Constitution.
(9): The right to become a U.S. Citiz
-en is a National Right, and no State Law
enn be used to determine this right to US
Citizenship.
(10): The assuming of false facts to
justify the Opinion rendered by Tenth Cir-
cuit and to thus deny a fair and impartial
trial of Petitioner violates Due Process.
(11): The requiring of an illegitim -
ate foreign born child to assume the Citi-
zenship of its foreign mother when the same
is not required of legitimatechildren is a
Page (8).
steer bY 5 of Due Pro
): To deny this Petitioner a right
to kate ye case for both Exempliary, and
actual damages tried before a jury is a
denial of Due Process, his Civil and Human
rights under the U.S. Constitution.
CONCLUSIONARY ARGUMENT
The status of the law relating to the
some 300,000 illegitimate children fathered
by U.S. Service Men around every military
base all over the world is in a most urg-
ent need to be clarified. The cruelty as
practiced against these most unfortunate
children who are every bit as much U.S.
Citizens as are the rest of us is almost im-
possible to describe.
There is little or no case law that
is applicable to the twelve situations ap-
pearing above and as pleaded in the Amend-
ed Complaint reproduced in the Appendix.
About all that exists now are a few anci-
ent Attorney Generals Opinions many of
which are at least 100 years old. As a
result the officials in the State Depart-
ment decide casew by whim and not by law
and are thus able to inflict the cruelties
as outlined in this Petition.
If this case is denied_a hearing the
law will be in even greater confusion and
these Defendants will be given even more
ammunition to be sadistically applied to
these unfortunate illegitimate children
and to the fathers who desire to help the
-ir children.
Keep in mind that few of these fath-
ers have the knowledge and skill or the
money to prosecute a law suit as is invar-
ijabely required to gain Citizenship as
illustrated by Affidavits, and Amended Com
-plaint in Appendix. This is just typical
of what develops when 'Big-Brother' is giv-
en a free hand to abuse power_against those
who can not help themselves,

This three judge panel has determined

of material assistance in the determinat-
ion of this appeal. See Fed R. App.P. 34
(a); Tenth Circuit R. 10(e).The cause is
therefore ordered submitted without oral
arguments.
Plaintiff, Charles A. Meeker, appeals
from an order of the district court dis-
missing his Declaratory Judgment action in
which he sought to have certain sections of
the Immigration and Nationality Act 86 U.S.C.
1101, et seq. declared unconstitutional.
He also sought compensatory and punitive

The Plaintiff, the father of four.
illegitimate children born in the Philipp-
ine Islands, to two Filipina Mothers, ori-
ginally brought this action to establish
the United States Citizenship of the chil-
dren and to obtain a Declaratory Judgment
that 8 U.S.C. 1409 is unconstitutional. (*)
(*): 8 U.S.C. 1409 provides:
1409 Children born out of wedlock
(a): The provisions of paragraphs
(c), (ad), (e), and (g) of Sections 1401
of this title, and of paragraph (2) of
Section 1408, of this Title shall apply
as of the date of birth to a child born out
of wedlock on or after the effective date
of this chapter, if the paternity of such
child is established while such child is
under the age of twenty one years by legit-
imation.
Soon after the complaint was filed the
parties entered into a stipulation in which
they agreed that the claim would be dismi-
ssed without prejudice provided the United
States would confirm the Citizenship of the
children and issue passports to them. In
addition, the Stipulation provided that,
vigm epotications for the childrens mothers
Page (11).
eir servants would be promptly considered.
foot note(*) cont. (b): Except as
otherwise provided in Section 405 of this
Act the provisions of section 1401 (g),
of this vitie shal] apply to a child born
out of wedlock on or after January 13,1941
and prior to the effective date of this
chapter as of the date of birth, if the
paternity of such child is established
before or after the effective date of this
chapter and while such child is under age
of twenty one years by legitimation,
(c): Not withstanding the provision
of sub section (a) of this section, a per-
son born on or after the effective date
of this chapter, outside of the United Sta
-tes and out of wedlock shall to have acqu-
ired at birth the nationality status of '
his mother if the mother had the nationai-~
ity of the United States at time of such
person's birth, and if the mother had pre-
viously been physically present in the Un-
ited States or one of its outlying possess
-ions for a continuous period of one year,
8 U.S.C. 1401 (g) provides in pertinent part
(g): A person born outside the geogra-
phic al limits of the United States and its
outlying posessions of parents one of whom
is an ailen, and the other a citizen of Bid
the United States, who, prior to the birth
of such person, was physically present in
the United States or its outlying possess-
ions for a period totaling not less than
ten years at least five of which were after
attaining the age of fourteen years.
The plaintiff argues in essence, that
the statute denies United States citizen
fathers of illegitimate foreign born chil-
dren Dueprocess and equal protection and
that it discriminates against illegitimate
foreign born children of United States Ci-
tizens. See Fiallo v Bell, 430 U.S. 787
(1977) ¥.T. v Bell 478 F. Supp. 828,(W.D.
Pa. 1979.
Page (12).
(2): 8 U.S.C. 1151 (b) defines “imm-
euiate relatives" as"
the children,spouses, and parents of a ci-
tizen of the United States: Provided, That
in the case of parents, such citizen must
be at least twenty one years of age. The
immediate relatives specified in this sub
section who are otherwise qualified for
admission as immigrants shall be admitted
as such without regard to the numerical
in this chapter.
8 U.P.S.C. 1151 (a) gives preferential im-
migration status to “Immediate Relatives"
of United States Citizens.
The Plaintiff also challenges the re-
sidency requirement which children born
abroad to United States Citizens must meet
to retain their citizenship. 8 U.S.C. 1401
(b) (This subsection was repealed, Pub. L.
95-432 1, effective Oct 10,1978) In Ro-
gers v Bellei, 401 U.S. 815 1971, the cou-
rt held such a residency requirement consti
batraaes ¢ | In Meeker vs Attorney General,
inpublished No. 81-1963 (Tenth Circuit file
March 8,1982) the Appeal was dismissed as
premature.
The District Court issued an opinion
upholding the constitutionality of the st-
atute. In addition, the court denied the
damages sought holding that the Defendants
were immune. Following the entry of the
courts order and the dismissAl by this
court of subsequent appeal,, (See 3 above)
the Plaintiff made a motion to file an Am-
ended Complaint. The District Court denied
the motion.
On appeal the plaintiff contends that
the District Court erred in holding the
Statute constitutional, in dismissing his
Claim for damages, and denying his motion

o-
to file an amended complaint. He also com-
Plains of the manner in which the District
Court handled the litigation.
In the present posture of the case
we can not rule on the merits of the Plain-
tiffs challenge to 1409. This issue has
become moot. Plaintiffs children have been
granted United States Citizenship and are
presently residing in New Mexico.
Federal Courts do not render advisory
opinions and are limited to deciding iss-
ues in actual cases and controversies. Un
-ited States Const. art. 3, 1 et seq.; No
-rvell v Sangre de Cristo development Co.,
519 F 2nd 370, 375 (10 th Circuit, (1975).
There must be a case or controversy betw-
een the named plaintiff and the Defendant
with respect to the validity of the Sta-
tute at issue, Board of School Commission-
ers v Jacobs, 420 U.S. 128 (1975), unless
either of two circumstances are present;
The case presents an issue capable of rep
-tition, yet evading review or the suit
has been duly certified as a class action.
Sosna v Iowa, 419 U.S. 393 (1975); Napier
v Gertrude, 542 F. 2nd 825 (Tenth Circuit
1976, cert. denied. 429 U.S. 1049 (1977).
Neither situation is present here. The
issue does not fit within the first excep
-tion because there is no reasonable exp-
ectation that 1409 will be enforced again-
st the plaintiff again. Weinstein v Brad-
ford, 423 U.S. 147, (1975). Nor is it a Ce
-rtified class action. Although the plai
ntiff st yles his action as a class acti-
on, the district court found, and the rec-
ord supports, that he never attempted to
have it so certifi:d as required by Fed. R.
Civ. P. 23. Accordingly, the class acti-
on exception can not prevent the issue fr-
om being considered moot. Board of School
Commissioners v Jacobs, Supra.
The plaintiff's challenges to 8 U.S.C.
Page (14).
1151 (b), however, are not noot. He alle-
ges that the statute is unconstitutional in
-sofar as it does not allow a citizen und
-der twenty one years of age to bestow im
-mediate relative benefits upon his pare-
nts. This argument has been repeatedly re-
jected. Rubio De Cachu v Ins, 568 F. 2nd
625 (9th Circuit 1977); Qureshi v Ins, 519
F 2nd 1174, (Fifth Circuit 1975); Faustino
v Ins, 432 F. 2nd 429 (2d cir (1970), Cert
denied, 401 U.S. 921 (1971); Perdido v Ins
420 F 2nd 1179 (Fifth Cir 1969). See also
De Robles vs Ins 485 F. 2nd 100 (Tenth Cir
1973)
The plaintiff's claim for damages also
lacks merit The complaint makes concluso
-ry allegations of fraud and malicious con
-duct without any factual support. This is
insufficient to state a claim for relief.
Plaintiff con tends that the district
Court erred in denying his motion to file
an amended complaint. The motion was filed
after the plaintiff's first appeal was di-
smissed. The plaintiff's amended complaint
merely reiterates the conclusory allegati-
ons made in the first complaint. It did not
recite any new facts and requested relief
already denied.
While rule 15 (a) requires that
leave to amend be freely given,
the Supreme Court has declared that
that this requirement is not ap
-plicable when "futility of ame
-ndment" is “apparent." Foman v
Davis, 371 U.S. 178, 182, 83 S.C
t. 227, 230 9 Le. Ed 2a 222(1962)
“Where a complaint is amended, wou
-ld be subject to dismissal, leave
to amend need not be granted." De
Loach v Woodley, 405 F. 2d 496,
497 (Fifth Cir. 1969).
Mountain Pharmacy v Abbott Laboratories 630
Page (15).
F. 2d 1383, 1389 (Tenth Cir, (1980).
The plaintiff also alleges that the
Trial Court was guilty of numerous improp
-~rieties. We conclude that these sweeping
and unfocused accusations are without merit.
Accordingly, the order of the district
court dismissing the complaint is affirmed.
The mandate shall issue forthwith.

exhausted and have to quit, which is the
obvious purpose of the lies, and farces as
used against these poor unfortunate people.
All this is fully documented in Affidavit
dated Jan 2, 1981 and reproduced in foll-
owing pages. Also Petitioner has made at
least 100 trips for extended periods into
many Oriental Countries where these cruel
harsh and unreasonable practices are con -
tinuing daily agains¢these illegitimate ki:
-ds as fathered by American Serice men &
he has witnessed the same practices as are
pleaded being used against many many oth-
ers. To grant immunities for such gross in
-tentional fraudulent practices will just
increase the frauds and lies currently be-
ing used as a policy all over the Orient.
SHO G T t
even the President of the U.S. had no such
absolute immunity as granted by this Court
In fact this error alone should he su-
fficient to reverse this entire farce.whi-
ch this case has been to this point.
Page (17).
(2): The Tenth Circuit also refused
to mention and discuss the fact that so
far the Petitioner has never even once be
-en allowed to attend any hearing or put
any input into this case, absolutely eve-
ry thing having been decided by Judges ,
defendants lawyers, and the lawyers in
the State and Justice Departments against
the interests of Petitioner. This kind of
gross misbehavior is many times more severe
than if a jury trial had been denied.
It is little wonder that the Tenth
Circuit chose not to publish this monstor-
-ous denial of all rights under the Cons-
titution plus the fact that all judges to
this point have flagrantly violated their
oaths of office. If true facts were pub-
lished every college of law and dean of a
department covering Constitutional Law wo-
uld be outraged over this blazen circumve
-nting all rights a citizen should have un-
der the U.S. Constitution.
(3): The failte of the Tenth Circuit to
rule on the major portion of the items as
listed in the Notice of Appeal, and as are
are also listed on pages, (7) to (9) in th
-is WRIT was a pure case of begging the is-
ue to make its Mandate seem reasonable 4&
just. Almost every issue directly affects
this Plaintiff-Petitioner and his children
as well as some 300,000 other poor help
-less illegitimates, and as observed are in
a most desperate need to be resolved,
In todays mail, Dec 4,1982 Petitioner
received a letter from Congressman McKinn-
ey who is a sponsor of new legislation that
will hopefully relieve some of these atro-
cities, and which has just passed into law
Congressman Mc Kinney remarked, “Maybe Am
erasians will be able to escape their cur-
rent cruel life style and come to the U.S.
and enjoy SPPOr Uns. G8 we believe they are
entitled to."
Page (18).
The Petitioner has carefully review-
ed the Bill in question which is now a law,
and it is very helpful; but it will relieve
only a small portion of the problem. What
is needed is a sweeping review of the Im -
migration and Nationality Act of 1952 with
an intent to put a stop to the atrocities,
as described in Congressman Mc Kinneys le-
tter, as well as by the many Syndicated Co
-lumnists and in a recent Congressional Re
-cord mentioned in this Writ. We need to
have judges take off their blinders and try
to corréct these attrocities, and not to,as
is imvolved in this case do all in their
power to make any correction of the farce
possible.
(4): Petitioner attempted to bring the
case as a ‘'Class-Action'; but may I ask how
QE FBTERNSWAS BRyB¥endSASELSnS Hs avace
he was treated as some low form of sqim at
all levels in this case just because he re-
fused to employ counsel?
Petitioner stood near top of his cla
-ss in;a very large and prestigious collge
of law and he has developed several oil-gas
fields, but never practiced law as a living.
Also, -if any registered attor ney ever tr-
ied tn get before the court the farce and
the trau@ apd lies involved in this case he
would ‘TaV@beon debaréd. The case to this po-
int, has been:
" About like an appendectomy performed by a
'skid*row' bumb who was just recovering fr
“Om a ten day drunk."
It is little wonder that so few have
any confidence in our legal system. You
are only given those constitutional rights
that judges, by whim, and not by law allow
you to have.
Few Dictators have achieved better th
-an judges in this case have in a complete
denial of all Constitutional Rights.

AFFIDAVIT, DATED JAN, 2,198) ;
IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR NEW MEX, lst Dist
Charles A. Meeker,
Vs Civil NO: 79-559-M
Attorney General, U.S. State Dept, et al;
AFFIDAVIT OF FACT
Charles A. Meeker the Plaintiff-Affiant in caption
action deposes and swears that:
(1): The Manila Consulate
has just informed him that they are above the law
and are not subject to any orders or settlements
of any U.S. District Court, and would not honor
the settlement arrived in the above case last Sept
6,1979, other than to grant reluctantly that the
children of Charles A. Meeker are U.S. Citizens.
(2): Plaintiff has been required as a result
of the most barbaric behavior, and grossly irres-
ponsible conduct of said Consulate to make, over
past three years, six trips to the Philippines in
his attempt to get Citizenship for his four child-
ren, and the first five useless trips resulting in
this lawsuit which was resolved in his favor by
Settlement Agreement of Sept 6, 1979. And in do-
ing the above, Plaintiff has been required tc spen
nd a minimum of $20,000 over and above what he sh-
ould have spent had Consuls in said offices acted
within the law and not violated his Constitutional
Rights.
(3): It is a policy of said Consulate to har-
ass male citizens of the U.S., and this is being
done on a wholescale basis causing untold mental
anguish, expenses, and it seems to be done with a
sadistic glee and pleasure tha tmost of these U.S.
Citizens are currently U.S. Service Men or U.S.
Government employee- who happen to have fathered
illegitimate children. That Affiant has seen hun-
dreds treated with disdain, and irresponsible be-
havior and the policy as was done directly to Pla
-intiff over a three year period, is always to cr
-eate the greatest possible problem, impossible of
Page (20).
any reasonable solution to all males who apply to
legitimize their children.
(4): That as a result of this behavior thous
-ands of U.S. Citizen males have gotten special -
acts of Congress through our U.S. Congress to pre
-vent further harassment. Plaintiff has seen seve
-ral Special Acts with large numbers of males on
each Bill. In fact Plaintiff was told privately by
one Consular Officer of rank in said Manila Consu
-late that he should seek such a private bill as
so many hundreds of others have done.
(5): The manner that the above atrocious beh
-avior is practiced as a rule rather than the exc
-eption on U.S. Citizen males is to violate ,their
Constitutional Rights, by mininterpreting the U.S.
Statutes that are already are part of this case,
plus also doing the same as to several other U.S.
Statues. Thus:
(a): A female who happens to give birth to ;
an illegitimate child in a foreign land, and this
irrespective of who the father was is required on-
ly to swear that the child is hers to gain U.S.
Citizenship for the child. Men on the other hand
are required to submit to some of the most irresp
-onsible proof imagineable, and to a point where
it is virtually impossible to satisfy the absurd
demands made of all males who may have fathered a
child of this type whithout first bringing a Civil
Action such as Plaintiff did in captioned action.
(b): These absurd demands made against males
even though they have since legally married the
woman involved. As a result U.S. Citizens are of-
ten denied the right for these wives or their chil-
dren to enter the U.S. (Special Acts are often so-
ught. In other words no attempt whatever is made
to apply the statues equally, and there is the gro
-ssest of unequal protection of the law being ap-
plied against all U.S. Citizen Males who happen to
fall into the hands of the U.S. Consulate in Mani
-la, P.I.
(6); Service Men in particular have and are fa
thering untold thousands of children in the Phili-
pines and in other areas. These children are igno-
red and regardless of fact that as a matter of Law,
Page (21)
they are U.S. Citizens, are by aforsaid policies
left to starve or live a life of want and at lev-
els that most would not believe unless seen first
hand as has the Plaintiff. That even where a Ser-
vice man or other U.S. Citizen father acknowledges
the child as his, he and the childs rights are ig-
nored, and both are harassed to a point where the
man gives up & oftenabandonsthe child and moth-
er.
(7): Even in those cases where the man wish
-es to support his child and bring it to the U.S.
he is prevented from doing so until the child rea-
ches 21 years of age at which time the child can -
petition its mother if the child has been declared
0.0.8. Citizen. But to get the child in the U.S. be
-fore it is too late the man must bring a legal -
action as previously pleaded. Other wise the child
will be denied U.S. Citizenship even though so en-
titled.
(8): That reason and common sensein resolv -
ing matters discussed above are never resorted to,
but instead that it is invariably ruled that impo-
ssible conditions and demands be met by all U.S.
Male Citizens It would be reasonable to assume th-
at the intent is tog@ny Constitutional Rights by
these absurd demands and rulings.
(9): When Charles A. Meeker brought caption-
ed action, high ranking attorneys in the U.S. Sta-
te Department admitted that the statues named were
likely unconstitutional, but in their words ‘if
plaintiff continues this action and causes said
statues to be so ruled as unconstitutional, it wo-
uld open up a barrell of worms for them all over
the world, so as a result of this that they, Defen
-dants in this action would be willing to make a
very favorable settlement with the Plaintiff if he
would settle case rather than pursue it to conclu-
sion’ As a result. Plaintiff did settle case but
intentionally didso with recourse, for he does
not trust the State Department or for that fact
most other U.S. Government activities.
(10): That based on the settlement made with
him by defendants herein, Plaintiff bought and
Page (22);
furnished a $60,000.00 home for his children here
in Albuquerque, and paid mostly cash for this pro-
perty. Plaintiff now has this property and does not
not have a use for same because the Manila Consula
-te refuses to allow the mothers of his children to
have visas to come here and care for these childr
-en. He is almost 76 years of age and tak ing care
of these lovely little girls is an almost impossi-
ble task for him, This denial is a violation of the
Settlement Agreement, (See letter dated Dec 20,1979
from Attormey Elliot Light of the State Department
and which is a part of this case). That he has
been told that they did not have to follow any co-
urt order or settlement and that the only possible
relief plaintiff could get would be a special act -—
of Congress that would permit said mothers to ent-
er the U.S. on a Non-Quota basis. This he is now
attempting to do. During the meantime taking care
of these U.S. Citizen children is almost. beyond
the mental and physical capacity of the plaintiff.
(11): That Charles A. Meeker,the Plaintiff
gives notice that if scamething is not soon resolv-
ed so that the Setclement Agreement of Sept 6,1979
is made practical that he will re-open this case
and take it as far as is needed to try and prevent
the atrocious behavior of Government Officers
and employees as practiced so widely in Manila Co-
sular Offices. The Plaintiff is old and has no
desire or the physical or mental energy to fight
this cause Over a several years basis. All he as-
ks is some re solvment.
(12): That Plaintiff intentionally fathered
children involved because his only son refused to
have children, and as a result he took advantage
of the awful poverty that is so current in the Ph-
illippines to get fine young women to cooperate
with him in achieving his plan. He has spent large
sums educating these women and taking care of his
children whom he loves very much He wishes to pro-
perly care for these children. This is made almost
impossible due to the Manila Consulates belief th-
at it is not required to follow the Settlement Ag-
reement that was reached by Plaintiff with the U.S.
Page (23).
Attorney General, and the U.S. State Department
and which was outlined in letter dated Dec 20,1979
a copy of which is attached hereto.
(13): That patienceof Plaintiff is running
thin and he is thoroughly disgusted and in particu
-ular as the result of the trip, (sixth one) he has
just concluded to the P.I. There he met the usual
harrassment and indifference. They delayed twenty
two days in just granting his children U.S. Citiz-
enship. Then they denanded that he pay $30.00 for
cost of telegrams to U.S. Attorney Generals Office
to correct some of their own stupid indifferent
conduct and behavior before he was allowed anythi-
(14): The policy is to exhaust a person finan
cially and if this is not accomplished then to de-
lay action as was just done to plaintiff until his
time allowance has expired and he has to return to
America without accomplishing what he needed to do.
It is believed by Plaintiff that , large exempliary
damages should be assessed against the U.S. Govern
-ment for permitting such gross misbehavior to con-
tinue, and that it is his intention to seek such
damages if he is forced to re-open this case.
ChARLES A. MEEKER, PLAINTIFF-
END OF PLAINTIFFS AFFIDAVIT
SPECIAL COMMENT ON ABOVE AFFIDAVIT:
Repeatedly reference was made at trial level,
& Tenth Circuit that Petitioner did not furnish
any proof for his allegations. This Affidavit along
with the many articles by Syndicated Writers, &
TV commentaries should be enough to establish his
right to bring this lawsuit.
The real problem is that judges wished to pro
-tect Defeidants irrespective of their gross ille
~gal behavior, and also to punish Petitioner beca
-use he dared appear Pro-Se and thus deny some law
-yer a fee irrespective of his qualifications to
prosecute this suit.
Had he hired a lawyer, irrespective of his
capability the case would likely have been tried,
Page (24).
-o—->
If for no other reasons this cause should be-
tried before a jury as to the meaning of Mr.
Lights letter that appears next and in particular
since both that letter and the stipulation agreem-
so that follows after Light letter differs. mat -
lly from the Tenth Cir's Opinion appearing on
pages, 10 to 16 of this Writ. Also since Defend -
dants failed to cary out one single part of their
agreement in said Stipulation, and then had the
nerve to charge Petitioner $30 to find out what the
stipulation in fact required, that needless brazen-
ly demand of money should have been put before a
jury for resolvment. Another highly important fac-
tual issue that should have been determined, not by
a judge asws resolved sunmarialy by judges is the
expenses Petitioner was put through in Manila when
he made the sixth useless trip there and was kept
waiting for three weeks at his expense so the Def-
endants could find out facts contained in Light
letter and the contents of Stipulation Agreement
all of which Defendants by Stipulation agreed to
send to Manila Consulate.
When the Constitution was adopted those who
wrote same did not trust judges, and provided limi
-tations as to their powers. In this case all con-
stitutional rights have been denied, and this vio-
lation of the judges oath have been ne 4ly covered
up by adopting false facts as outlined, and then
failure to make a note of this brazen fraud by
not recording it in Opinion’ and then make the Opio
ion the type not to be published.
The contents of the Light Letter of Dec 20,,
1979 was, (note date differences in Stipulation &
Light letter) negotiated by many many telephone
calls between Petitioner and Mr Light. Petitioner
refused to go to Manila until he got that letter,
for he, from three years experience was well aware
of the frauds and lies Defendants representatives
practiced as a rule instead of the exception. He
in fact demanded wording relating to visa sO @mnven

United States State Dept, pr NO: 79-
U.S. Attorney in Albuquerque, NM. feta!
Mar 12, 1982.
AMMENDED COMPLAINT DATED MAR 12,1982.
(1): That Plaintiff asks this Court to take
judicial notice of all papers that have been prev-
iously filed in this Civil Action, and in particu-
lar the Affidavits and Law Briefs that are part of
this Civil Action. These papers are adopted in this
Amended Complaint as though written out in full
and made part of this Complaint now submitted.
(2): This Complaint has a two fold purpose in
that Plaintiff seeks a Declaratory Judgment declar
-ing the Inmigration and Nationality Act of 1952
unconstitutional, and further that the Plaintiff
seeks monitary damages against the U.S. State and
Justice Departments for their wilful and pre-medi-
tated misconduct practiced over a several year per
-iod against this plaintiff, including exempliary
Damages. More details will be pleaded in subsequent
paragraphs.
(3): That this Plaintiff-Petitioner is 77 yea
-rs of age, a Citizen of the United States, and the
State of New Mexico, That this Court has jurisdic-
Page NO: 29).
tion of all matters involved. That this cause in-
volves an actual controversy between this petitioer,
and the Defendants named above, and the United Sta-
tes Government relating to the Constitutionality
of the Inmigration and Nationality Act of 1952, &
in addition substantial damages that were caused
Petioner-Plaintiff by wilful, intentional, miscon-
duct of the grossest type of misbehavior as pract-
iced in particular by the representatives of the
Department of State in the Consulate in Manila, PI.
(4): That there is no other action pending or
contemplated by parties who are here involved and
that issues here involve more than just a difference
of opinion. That this petitioner is adversely aff-
ected by rulings of the Defendants, as are litter-
ally tens of thousands of other US Citizens all
over the world, and need for resolvment of issues
is acute World-Wide.
(5): That the Inmigration ang Nationality Act
of 1852, as interpreted and applied on a World-Wide
basis, fails to give Due Process of Law, and/or
equal protection of the law, and is therefore not
Constitutional because Defendants by its use have
turned the rights of foreign born US Citizens into
an unachievable status by practicing the following
gross US Constitutional violations by whim and not
by law and all by the grossest of violations against
said parties and in particular illegitimate child-
ren born to foreign mothers and US Service Men fa-
thers. As a result of this gross misbehavior of
Defendants the US Government has been criticized,
not only in the Congressional Record, but as well
as in many articles appearing in widely published
condemnations. (See Exhibit One attached to and
made a part of this Complaint). In particular is
this act not constit:.tional because of rulings by
Defendants in enormous numbers of cases, that folow
dictates similar or like the following twelve cla-
sses of gross constitutional violations:
(1): Second Class Citizenship has been created
for these unfortunate foreign born children, when
the constitution declares that there is only one
class of US Citizenship.
Page NO: (30).
(2): Policies are followed that make it almost
impossible for any person to ever fulfill the absu-
rd demands and rules made by the Defendants that
permit achieving Citizenship, regardless of the
fact that most such parties, if laws were fairly &
justly applied should be granted such US Citizen -
ship. As a result there are many many thousands of
these 'Second-Class U.S. Citizens living around all
military base all over the world. (See Exhibit One
(Affidavit of Plaintiff printed above).
(3): That when Defendants can not find a pro-
vision that they can warp the interpretation of, to
refuse citizenship to those entitled to same, they
will create a regulation that will prevent such
US Citizen minor children to have and to enjoy the
privilege their mothers into the US. In other words
these small children, by whim and the most sadistic
behavior are forced to choose between their mothrs
and the right to live in the United States.
(4): Defendants follow a practice of present-
ing to all applicants for US Citizenship impossible
requirements that they can not meet, and Defendants
keep doing this until applicants are financially
exhausted and go away without ever being given the
Citizenship that they are entitled to easily and
within reason be granted. That to gain such Citizen
~ship one must bring a Federal Law-Suit and that
Plaintiff was advised after a three year effort that
the only way to achieve would be to do this. That
to follow this practice and others mentioned is
cruel and inhuman treatment applied World-Wide to
tens of thousands of helpless parties entitled to,
but who by whim are denied US Citizenship.
(5): Defendants refuse to follow the US Cons-
titution which provides that any person is entitled
to US Citizenship need to have only one parent
that is a US Citizen. Defendants by whim completely
ignore this basic constitutional right and inject
all sorts of absurd demands not required, such as
living in the US for long periods of time and/or
not living in a foreign land, all of which are the
grossest type of US Constitutional violations,
Page NO: (31.)
practiced World-Wide against thousands of applica-
nts who come to our US Consulates daily in an att-
empt to get that which they deserve yet are daily
denied by fraud and deceit bu Defendants.
(6): Defendants apply a different set of rules
when determining the rights to be granted US Citi-
zenship and a US Passport, when a female US Citi-
zen applies for for same for her illegitimate chil-
dren, as compared to rules applied to a US Male
US Citizen who seeks similar relief all in direct
violation of Constitutional Rights of both the fa-
thers who apply and their illegitimate children.
(7): That the policy followed World-Wide by
all Embassies, of making these 'Second-Class US
Citizens' or their fathers bring a Federal Law-Suit
to gain US Citizenship for his illegitimate child-
ren is cruel and inhuman treatment as well as in
violation of the right to Due Process under the
law, along with fair and equal treatment under the
Due Process, and misconduct of the Defendants.
(8): The granting of a child over twenty One
a right to petition its mother and to not grant
the same privilege to children under twenty one is
cruel and inhuman treatment under our law as well
as the grossest of Constitutional violations.
(9): Defendants making distinctions between
types of US Citizens by whim and in thus creating
these many thousands of substandard US Citizens are
in direct violation of all basis laws of fairmess
and reason as well as our Constitution.
(10). That the common practice of Defendants
of creating standards and rules making it impossi-
ble for any person to comply with such absurd de-
mands violates all reason and common sense and that
these practices are in the grossest way in need of
resolvment. ((See Affidavit pages (20 to 24 this
Writ) )
(11): Defendants use State Laws in determiing
Legitimacy and illegitimacy, and in determning whe
-ther or not a child is entitled to US Citizenship,
all in direct violation of the Constitution which
declares that the right of US Citizenship is a
Page ( 32).
National and not a State controlled right.
(12): That it is the grossest of misbehavior
and denial of Constitutional Rights for Defendants
to create terms and conditions and an impossible
morass Of confusion, thus allowing them to rule by
whim and not by fair and just resolvment of the
fate of these poor illegitimate children that the
US Government owes a duty to for protection again-
st the grossest of bureaucracy by practices outlin
-ed above.
VI
That Defendants representatives lied to plain
tiff, intentionally misled him covering a period of
over three years, and by these gross misrepresenta-
tions caused plaintiff to make five useless trips
to the Philippines and caused him to spend a mini-
mum Of $20,000 in his attempt to gain legitimacy
for his four small daughters. That during this lo-
ng period of time Plaintiff witnessed many other
men going through the same experiences. The obvi-
ous purpose seems to keep leading applicants for
Citizenship for their illegitimate children on and
on until they give up and go away without achieving
such citizenship for they are financially exhausted
by the disgraceful,wilful, and malicious conduct
towards them of Consular Officials. In other words
Defendants keep asking for more and more impossible
demands until it is absolutely impossible to meet
such absurdities.
VII.
Plaintiff was advised after about three years
of effort to gain citizenship for his children that
if he left New Mexico, and became a Citizen of Calif,
that he would be able to achieve this; but by that
time 'Plaintiff had had it’ with the Manila Consu-
lar officials, and no longer believed what they
said, He was further advised by one of these offi-
cials that if he brought a Civil Law Suit in Feder
-al Court that he would quickly gain this Citizen-
ship for that Defendants did not want the Inmmigra-
tion Act of 1952 tested as to: its Constitutionality,
for most officials feared that it could never meet
the test of Constituionality. Plaintiff then ret-
urmed home after making five useless trips to Manila
and filed captioned lawsuit (Civil 79-559-M in the
Federal Courts here in Albuqueryue, New Mexico. And
just as predicted within a very short period Defen-
dants contacted Plaintiff and offered to grant US
Citizenship as a matter of law to plaintiffs four
illegitimate children. This was done by ‘Stipulation
Agreement' in which Defendants agreed in writing to
do numerous important things, all of which they
failed to do except to grant as a matter of law
US Citizenship to the four children mentioned. (See
Affidavit pages 20 to 24 this Writ)

Among the things agreed to was the issuance of a
letter in which Plaintiff was advised that they had
made an error in not granting the Citizenship dur-
ing the long three years of effort described above,
and that they would allow the mothers of these ch-
ildren to come over to the US to care for the chil-
dren to care for the children. After waiting a
full year Plaintiff made his sixth useless trip to
Manila, and to his dismay discovered that the Def-
endants had not done one single thing they had by
Court-Stipulation agreed to do, and that Manila
Consulate started the same malicious run-around
that plaintiff had gone through for the three ye-
ars mentioned. They even charged Plaintiff $30 to
pay for a telegram to verify that the citizenship
had been granted to his four daughters. Plaintiff
expended over $2,000 in making this sixth useless
trip.

Plaintiff immediately returned to Albuquerque
and filed captioned lawsuit. The Judge gave an op-
inion denying damages and also refused to make a
ruling as to the Constituionality of the Inmigra-
tionon and Nationality Act of 1952. That ruling
was appealed to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals,
and the Appeals Court refused to rule on the two
issues involved here (Damages du Plaintiff; and
wnether the Inmigration and Nationality Act of 1952)

was Constitutional. On March 8, 1982 Tenth Cir.
gave as a ruling that they would not act on case
because the Albuquerque Court had not acted on two
motions and dated July 22, and 27, 1981. Incident-
aliy the plaintiff had twice attempted to get the
Cle:.k of, and the Judge of the Court Below to make
these essential rulings. Just as they always did,
both refused to cooperate in the matter thus caus.
-ing this useless expense and second appeal. Since
plaintiff was limited in time, to file his Notice of
Appeal, he went ahead and filed same just a few
days before expiration of time limit.
(X) :
As of March 12,1982 plaintiff has en
-tered a new motion which is attached to
this proposed new Amended Complaint, in
which Plaintiff again asks the judge to ru

well as the third motion that accompanies
this proposed Amended Complaint and then

to do so.
