Would Mitt Romney be the first Mexican American president? Former candidates who got their butt's handed to them in the primaries typically don't hold any title. So no, he'll never have that title.

Was his dad the first Mexican American
governor of Michigan? Mitt is as leftwing as his dad was, and that is what important!

He’s desperate. Being born in Mexico (as his father was) doesn’t make him Hispanic, and in any case, it might raise questions about his 3 (or was it 5?) grandmothers.
Grampa Romney moved to Mexico with a herd of wives so he could carry on the polygamy that the Mormons were trying to distance themselves from at that point. Romney’s father was born to one of these multiple grandmothers.

Well, it worked so well for the first black Pres, William the Impeached.

Well. If that isn’t enough to make one puke I don’t know what is. Clinton called himself the first African-American President and now Willard wants to be the first Mexican-American President.

The premise of the question sucks but it's typical for this particular "newspaper".
A better and more pressing question would be; would the Los Angeles Times make a reasonable bird-cage liner ?

Unless you count Dubya, our first Illegal Alien President.

So if George Romney was born in Mexico, does that make Mitt a natural born?

George Romney ran for President against Richard Nixon. I guess the constitution died a long time ago!

Miles Park Romney was Willard’s G grandpa and he and his 5 wives took off for Mexico because they were running from the law. Utah had outlawed polygamy and grandpa wanted to continue his polygamist lifestyle. While in Mexico he founded a thriving Morman community but none of the squeaky white Mormans ever intermarried with Mexicans. Hell, they would have been ran out of the cult.

Clinton called himself the first African-American President and now Willard wants to be the first Mexican-American President. I'll be the first Klingon Freeper. You may all call me KANG.

George was born in Mexico to two US Citizen Parents so had US Citizenship at Birth. While Mitt is a Natural Born Citizen, his father George wasn't and should not have ran for President.

Romney then bet the interviewer 10,000 dollars that he was indeed Mexican.
