We don't have "first-class" and "second-class" Americans.

No one said anything about "first-class" or "second-class". But the Constitution does say: No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President

There are two classifications of citizens whether anyone is offended or not. Either you are a Natural Born citizen or a Naturalized citizen.

Either you are a Natural Born citizen or a Naturalized citizen.

Exactly. You are either born in America (Natural Born) or born in a foreign country and earned (or were given) citizenship (Naturalized). Donofrio is trying to argue that there are two classes of Americans who were born in America, on American soil.

He's wrong. Our Constitution does not recognize two separate classes of Americans born on American soil. If you were born on American soil and not the child of diplomats you are a Natural Born American. Period. End.
