McCain not born in the USA?

Actually your initial facts are somewhat flawed. McLame was born on the Santa Maria on its voyage to discover America. Technically he shouldn't be able to run for pres but since he was a signer to the original declaration of independence he will probably be given a pass.

Puerto Ricans are natural born US citizens and they're allowed to "migrate" to the US just as you are allowed to "migrate" to Nebraska or anywhere else you want.

There are/were some limitations. For example, Puerto Ricans convicted of felonies were deported from the US back to Puerto Rico and not permitted to re-enter the US.
