The Definition of American Born Abroad: An American Citizen born in another country to parents who are United States Citizens.
The definition of Immigrant: A person born to foreign parents of one country who migrate to another country.
Mitt Romney made a blooper when he spoke of his father being a Mexican immigrant, at the January 26, 2012 Florida Republican Primary Debate. Was it deliberate mistake, a deliberate lie, to capture the Latino vote?
George Romney was born in Mexico: True.
George Romney migrated from Mexico: FALSE!!!
George Romney, Mitt Romney's father, was born in Mexico in July 08 1907 to parents who were citizens of the United States, who left Utah to live in a Mormon Community in Mexico. However when the Revolution in Mexico began, his Utah American Mormon parents, took their family BACK to the United States. Which means that George Romney was an AMERICAN BORN ABROAD who was returning to his home in the United States. Mitt Romney lied when he said that his father migrated to the United States of America. Mitt Romney deliberately exaggerated a lie when he said that his father was a Mexican immigrant.
Why did he lie? Mitt Romney LIED to get the Latino vote.
Sorry Mitt, but your father was NEVER a Mexican immigrant. George Romney, your father, was never an immigrant at all. George Romney was an AMERICAN BORN ABROAD, born to American parents, who only returned back home to the United States when his parents fled the war of the Mexican Revolution.
