Mitt Romney continues to say his father was an immigrant.
Yes George W. Romney Mitt’s father was born in Mexico in 1907 but George was born to American citizens. George’s parents Gaskell Romney and Anna Amelia Pratt were from Utah but they lived in a Mormon colony in Mexico. Actually you could say Mitt’s grandparents were immigrants to Mexico.
George age 5 and his parents had to flee Mexico due to the Mexican Revolution and they left everything behind and came back to America in 1912 with very little, but they were American citizens.
So in my opinion Mitt’s father George came to America not as an immigrant but as a citizen.
In 1968 George Romney ran for President if George was a true immigrant he wouldn't be allowed to run for President.
So maybe Mitt is stretching it a bit?
