Before Immagrency was illegal we had a law saying how you had to be an american citizen born in america to become president so in no way is it rascist or prejudice.

Having the qualifications to help defend the nation under the direction of higher officers is a long way from having the qualifications to lead the nation as its President.
Isn't it enough that an immigrant can be a member of Congress, or a governor, or a judge. If someone was born outside the U.S. and liked America enough to move here, I think that the opportunity to become almost anything here (other than President) is adequate proof that this is indeed the land of opportunity, and is extraordinarily welcoming toward immigrants who have the ability to hold office and perform jobs.

Well if you mean Mexico then I would just be happy that I got a free ticket into the Country in the first place. You could always try filling out the required paperwork and waiting for years just to gain lawful entry like everyone else has too.

No way I would ever vote for a non-native American for president, It's hard enough to know if the candidate really is patriotic.

That's a tough one. Most American citizens, born and raised, shouldn't be allowed any place in office.

I don't think it's fair. I don't think illegal immagrants should be allowed into the military. They should be deported back to what country they come from.
