Definition of natural born citizen? That is where the controversy is...
Evidence suggests that Romney’s own grandfather came to America as an illegal immigrant. His great-grandfather, a devout Mormon in a time when his church encouraged polygamy, fled the US with his multiple wives in 1884, when American law could strip polygamists of the right to vote or serve on juries. Romney’s grandfather and father were born and raised in Mexico, and Romney’s father was a child when his family left Mexico at the height of the Mexican Revolution, in 1912. Romney’s father’s and grandmother were American citizens under the law at that time, and came to America on a train, while his grandfather crossed the border northward in classic “illegal immigrant” fashion.
‘Romneys fathers and grandmother were American citizens under the law at that time’
What was the law at that time that made them American citizens?
