‘His father George was born a U.S. Citizen in Colonia Dublán, Galeana, Chihuahua, Mexico in 1907.’
Do you know for a fact that George was born a ‘US citizen’ when he was born in Mexico?!
Mexican laws on citizenship have a say about a child born on its soil. As far as USA is concerned George can be a Mexican!

We can read, but your statement is not based on facts!
There is doubt if George was indeed born a US citizen. Reason - he was born on Mexican soil under Mexican jurisdiction!
If George was not born a US citizen and had never naturalized to be US citizen prior to Mitt’s birth then Mitt was NOT born to a US citizen father, hence not a nbc!

Where did you get this information dumbo?



Under the citizenship laws of Mexico at the time, George Romney was born an alien/foreigner as Mexican law did not recognize him as a citizen by the mere fact that he was born on their soil. It was “jus sanguinis” & the law of “parens patriae” (the jurisdiction to make decisions) under the law of nations that governed George Romney’s status at birth. Therefore, if the US had denied citizenship to little George, he literally would have been left stateless because the foreign nation in which he was born never claimed him as a member/citizen of their society. His “exclusive” allegiance at birth was to the United States.
