In reply to the discussion: "I always loved Trump, this is unfair": Republican mayor can't believe he's facing deportation after 50 years in US [View all]

(5,216 posts)76. Usually, minors become citizens when their parents do
His parents must never have applied for citizenship so he’s been in the U.S., probably legally, on a green card all this time. At some point, he must have realised that he was not a U.S. citizen so it’s difficult to understand how he ended up voting and even running for office along with not applying for citizenship.
I kind of feel bad for him having to go back to a country he’s never really known .
But, as they say, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
