I was born in Aruba. My parents were legal residents. I was never given a passport because my father never wanted to be a citizen. When my parents returned to DR we (the children) travelled with a piece of paper that the Dominican Consulate issued to us.
When I travel to Aruba they treat my as a tourist. If I want to stay longer I have to go through all the steps that as other tourists.
Now I am a US citizen. My passport says born in Aruba. The years that I was Dominican was erased. I have a hard time getting the new cedula. In DR I am treated as a tourist.
I joke around that if deported I do not have another country to call home.
