Update: I stand corrected - it's natural born, not native-born.
You are a native-born American citizen if at least one of your parents is native-born. Period. It doesn't matter where you are born.
I was born in Germany of parents who were both born in Virginia. I am native-born. I did not need to be naturalized.
John McCain was born in Panama of Americans. He is native-born. I have many friends who were born in Germany of American fathers and German mothers. They are native-born Americans. Period.
The rukus over Obama's place of birth is nonsense. He mother was a native-born American. Therefore, he is. NO MATTER WHERE HE WAS BORN. Period.
I have not heard a peep out of the MSM on this. Why? I have written to Chris Matthews twice about this and even to G Gordon Liddy. Why doesn't anyone talk about this?
I ran into this ignorance when I renewed my government security clearance. I had an investigator call me and ask how it was possible for me to be born in Germany and be a native-born US citizen. Well, it is, folks.
Many American women are abroad when they have children. By the birthers logic, none of their children are native-born Americans.
This whole conversation is quite frightening to me. If these people can attack our president for being an "illegal immigrant," then they can go after me for being illegal. How would you feel?
