My parents are immigrants. They have been living in the US for 60 years.

Neither would Trump and his kids.

There are immigrants that know more about our history and The Constitution than most people born here.

Case in point...Gold Star father Khizr Khan would bury Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in a civics quiz.

Exactly. Only only one of his daughters has a mother who was born in America and may have grandparents that were.


I don't even know if Trumps grandparents were born here. it's such a stupid argument from that horse face drunken woman.

Obama could not be president-- forget some governors and senators- and Bill C- did we know his dad?
POTUS with one immigrant parent are Thomas Jefferson, whose mother was born in England, James Buchanan and Chester Arthur -both of whom had Irish fathers, and Woodrow Wilson and Herbert Hoover whose mothers were born respectively in England and Canada.

Should have to wait 18 years to vote, just like those of us who were born here.

Would that also mean Trump can't be president? His grand parents were not born here. I know one side is from Germany, can't remember the other set.

How did you derive this from that post? I think you just inadvertently proved that poster's point.
