It's an interesting proposition for Britain to consider but the US should not do this.
Remember using extraterritorial passports is what Russia has done with eastern Ukraine and Crimea. Hand out passports and then justify rolling the tanks in to protect "its" citizens.
For Britain to do this is one thing and although it's undoubtably seen as Britain reasserting it's colonial history; immigration rights should be given to anyone born prior to independence in one of its colonies. I doubt Britain is going to use citizenship as justification to involve itself in a war in China.
But the US is larger than China in terms of economic and military strength. Would be seen as modern-day imperialism and much more controversial.
Yes Britain should bend over and let the entire commonwealth flood into the country for something that happend before the current generation was even born. Keep pushing and prodding the white man long enough and you're going to reawaken the Viking/Anglo Saxon Berserker.
