Everyone who wants Jindal for President should inquire whether his parents were citizens before he was born. I think he’s a tremendously talented guy, but I’m not sure whether he qualifies as a Natural Boarn Citizen.
Then, neither does Obama.
I thought the fact that you were born on US SOIL regardless of the citizenship status of your parents makes you a CITIZEN.
Here is the entry from Wikipedia :
“Piyush Jindal was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Amar and Raj Jindal, who came to the United States as immigrants from India”
This from the NEW YORK TIMES:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/22/world/americas/22iht-22louisiana.7991675.html?_r=1
Piyush Jindal was born on June 10, 1971, in Baton Rouge to Hindu parents who had come to the United States six months before so his mother could pursue a graduate degree in nuclear physics at Louisiana State University. His father was an engineer from the Punjab region of India, the only one of nine siblings to attend high school. The younger Jindal, growing up in Baton Rouge, was not expected to come home from school with anything less than 100 on tests. Public high school in Baton Rouge was followed by Brown, where Jindal was Phi Beta Kappa, and a conversion to Roman Catholicism that Jindal has described in transformative terms. “I draw my definition of integrity from my Christian faith,” Jindal said during the campaign. “In my faith, you give 100 percent of yourself to God.”

As a Louisiana resident and Jindal supporter [I have voted for him twice], I can confirm that he was born in Baton Rouge in 1971. His parents were immigrants from India, became naturalized citizens and Jindal was born and raised here in Baton Rouge before attending Brown in the Ivy League and then later I think he went to Oxford.

Both of his parents are from India....neither NBC...Bobby Jindal is not eligible to be president....
Bobby Jindal was born in Baton Rouge. It’s a nonissue; he qualifies.
That said, he’s not high on my list.
His Parents were not U.S. citizens at the time of his birth making him a native born citizen and ineligible to be President ..... unless he joins the democratic party and then rules don’t apply ( just like obama).
“Everyone who wants Jindal for President should inquire whether his parents were citizens before he was born. I think he’s a tremendously talented guy, but I’m not sure whether he qualifies as a Natural Boarn Citizen.”
I made that point on another thread and was told to “..... go back to DU Troll!” LOLOLOLOL
Amazing how uninformed some Freepers are. Sigh..... at least they are on our side....aren’t they?
