Her parents are foreign born.

The issue is never where the parents were born. Donald Trump's mother was foreign born.

The issue is what was the citizenship status of her parents at the time of her birth? Whether you believe the narrow or broad definition of natural born citizen, the birthplace of the parent was never a consideration.

To begin the naturalization process, a person must be a permanent resident (green card holder) for five years in order to be eligible to apply. For Harris, here parents were not here for the required five years when she was born so could not have begun the naturalization process, and they likely held student visas for the few years they were in graduate school.

If that disqualifies her I’m in trouble. Born in New York to two Canadian who didn’t get their US citizenship until I was 5. Oops!
