Bill Richardson was born in CA. He wouldn’t be talking about himself.
See 37, just an academic discussion since he didn’t say ‘este’.. If he did say este, it would be like my saying I am Scottish, no I’m not a citizen, just come from a family with Scots in it.. he could have been saying he is from an ‘immigrant’ family...
But he didn’t say ‘este’ so this is just a trivial point, academic only..
