My grandmother was not a U.S. citizen. Growing up along the border, you see the real human side of immigration - not the picture often drawn by politicians far removed from the border.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My grandfather was an illegal immigrant for the 60 or so years he was in the United States. I had another great-great-grandmother on my mom's side who snuck in in a suitcase.
As a legal matter, my mother is an American citizen by birth.
I'm obviously an American citizen. My parents are American citizens. But I'm not looked at as an American.
When you come to America, you get to become an American, and Trump, who has grandparents who came to the U.S., should understand this as much as anybody.
My mother was an immigrant from Lebanon to the United States. She came when she was 18 years old in 1920.
I've always known that my father's father and grandfather and grandmother were from Mexico. I've never denied it. I've always said it.
I was born in the U.S., my wife was born in Mexico and emigrated here when she was in college, and my daughters were born in New York City. That makes them passport-carrying, natural-born, eligible-to-run-for-president Americans. But they're also Mexicans and they like that just fine.
I'm not an immigrant - I was born and raised in New York. My parents are Puerto Rican, and Puerto Rico is a part of the U.S., for the people that don't know. So my whole life, I've identified as an American. There are times when I've gone to Puerto Rico, and there, I'm seen as the American cousin.
My mother is Ukrainian. She immigrated to the U.S. from Canada as a child.
I see myself as a transient, not an immigrant.
