Some like to claim that George Romney was Mexican by the mere fact of his birth on Mexican soil. This is not true. Mexico did not recognize children born to foreigners on Mexican soil as Mexican citizens. Mexican (Spanish & French) citizen law is that of the nature/nations doctrine of “jus sanguinis” and still is today. But those that detest Mitt's policies & politics like to ignore the law at the time of Mitt's dad's birth and use feudal “jus soli” statute law as an argument to keep Mitt off the ballot.

They are no better than Obama, they want to act outside & above the law purely for emotional & political purposes. Like I said, I would never back Romney let alone vote for him, but that does not give me the right to ignore the law that makes him eligible.

There is no reason to debate applicability of foreign law to a potential Presidential candidate’s deceased father.

It all boils down to a simple yes or no question. Was George Romney a citizen of the United States at the time of Mitt Romney’s Birth?

If yes, it’s a complete nonissue. There are other factors that play into the matter, but if his father was a citizen at the time of his birth, that isn’t one of them.
