Neither was born on American soil. While McCain had no choice about his citizenship, Schwarzenegger chose to become a US citizen. It seems to me that making an active choice is a better indicator of a commitment than when you just stumble into it via an accident of birth. As for second class ci

My take. We need to end the practice of anchor babies. There should be 3 ways to become a citizen of the US. 1. You are born to an American parent. Father or mother, makes no difference to me, don't care where you were born, one parent must have been a US citizen. 2. You go through the leg

This is true. I obtained Canadian citizenship cards for my children who were born in the US a while back, just in case they should ever need or want them. I did the same for their elder step-brother, who was born in France. This was fortunate in his case as the French do not consider him a citizen
