Even if he were born in Kenya, as the child of a US citizen mother, he was entitled to naturalized citizenship under the immigration laws at the time. All his mom would have to do is fill out an application and show proof of her maternity and US citizenship. See my profile for the relevant citations of the law in effect at the time.
Now why would his grandparents risk a felony purjury conviction and fake his birth, when his mom could easily obtain US citizenship for him through perfectly legal means?
BECAUSE HE'S EVIL! A socialist, Marxist, communist, third world Muslim environmental extremist who eats puppies and will destroy the entire country by next Tuesday! Who can even fathom what insidious evil-for-evil's sake the family of such a man is capable of? They probably used copies of the Constitution as toilet paper.
Remember, we've seen the proof of his non-citizenship in our own minds.
You are not correct. She was not eligible under immigration laws at the time to transfer citizenship based solely on her own status as she was not old enough.
I’m actually tired of going round and round with these arguments in these threads, each time having to re-explain the reasoning to those who can’t be bothered to keep up.
Obama’s mother was too young to automatically confer citizenship to her son at the time of his birth. In order to be an automatic citizen, either his father would have to be a US citizen, or he would have had to have been born on US soil. Since his father was NOT a US citizen, that leaves only the location of birth. Given Hawaii’s lax attitude regarding that in 1961 (as in, you can tell us days or weeks after the birth that the kid was born in your house and we’ll treat it the same as if he were born in a hospital) it would have been zero risk and avoided tremendous legal hassle for the grandparents simply to report the birth after the fact as having been in Hawaii. Who would know better? Who would ever care enough to research it? The grandparents couldn’t have known that one day Barack would run for president, so they would have no reason to worry that someone would look into it.
This theory requires some supposition, but so does any theory, including those that assume he was, indeed, born in Hawaii. If he would release the birth certificate as McCain did, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. But he won’t. That fact alone should make any sane person ask why. So far we have zero concrete evidence that he was born in Hawaii. The Hawaii officials issue only vague statements that they have certified he HAS a birth certificate, and a newspaper announced that he was, in fact, born. Whoopee.
Nice try. You just forgot that she had to be 19 years old to do that, and she was ONLY 18, case closed!!!
