During the Mexican Revolution, a five old George Romney, Mitt’s father, entered the United States illegally with his family. The Romney family had originally fled to Mexico to escape persecution in the United States because of their Mormon beliefs (specifically their polygamy). Many years passed and George was born in Mexico. As all REAL conservative Americans know, being born in another country automatically makes you a citizen of that country.

Sure, Mitt’s grandfather was still an American citizen just like President Obama’s mother was when he was born in some country named “Hawaii” (often mistaken for Kenya by conservatives who are terrible at geography). Sure, the Constitution states that any child born to an American citizen is a citizen themselves no matter WHERE they are born (ask the GOP’s last presidential nominee, John McCain, born in Panama). But we can’t have a double standard now, could we? Remember, Birterism is absolutely not about race whatsoever. No way, no how. Absolutely not, At all. Even a tiny little bit. Really.
