I am , in the true sense of the word, a real honest natural born citizen. Both parents were born in the USA, their parents before them, & myself born of them ...all in the USA.
That is as it should be, I think with possible exception of the grandparents necessarily being born here. Just my opinion.
17th generation here. Descendant of conquistadors. My seventh great grandmother was the first to become an American citizen. A member of one of the founding families of St Louis, she became a citizen on March 10, 1804 when the American flag was raised over St Louis.
I’m still tolerant of all you Johnny-come-latelies, though
