Comments on: Bill Richardson, Invader Baby /2007/11/06/bill-richardson-invader-baby/ Politics + Technology = Nonsense at the Speed of Light Tue, 01 Sep 2026 03:05:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.0.22 By: Tanstaafl /2007/11/06/bill-richardson-invader-baby/#comment-1554 Wed, 04 Jun 2008 08:51:00 +0000 /2007/11/06/bill-richardson-invader-baby/#comment-1554 I had no idea Romney’s father was born in Mexico. Thanks for pointing it out.

Here’s a fairly detailed account:

Gaskell Romney, Mitt Romney’s grandfather, was not a polygamist. He married Anna Amelia Pratt, the daughter of polygamists and the granddaughter of Parley Pratt, the apostle with 12 wives. Their marriage took place Feb. 20, 1895, in Dublan, Mexico.

Gaskell Romney had moved to Mexico with his parents in 1884 amid the proliferation of U.S. laws prohibiting “unlawful cohabitation.” Anna Pratt was born in Utah, but had emigrated to Mexico and lived in one of nine Mormon colonies established over the border.

Gaskell Romney and Anna Pratt had seven children, including George Wilcken Romney, the former Michigan governor. He lived with his parents in Mexico until 1912, when the family returned to the United States.

George Romney married Lenore LaFount, who does not appear to have polygamy in her family tree. The couple, now deceased, had four children, including Mitt Romney.

You can take your racist slur and shove it. You perform the same mental gymnastics required to grant US citizenship to anchor babies. To you the geographic location where people are born is more important than who they are born to and where their loyalties lie. I don’t have that problem. I don’t like Mitt Romney because he’s a globalist who favors immigration. I don’t like Bill Richardson because he’s a latino who favors immigration. I don’t like immigration because it has ruined my country. Understand?

According to your logic, Mitt Romney could be considered a Mexican citizen as well. The Mexican Constitution states that those who have a Mexican born parent (mother or father) is a Mexican Citizen as well. In this case, Mitt Romney is a Mexican citizen since his father was born in Mexico. Maybe you need to explain why you didn’t mention this in your blog. He is legally a dual citizen of Mexico and the United States.

And don’t blame me for other people misunderstanding the 14th amendment, or for your misunderstanding the constitutional misunderstanding that has cursed America with invader babies.

That may be too complicated for you to understand, so I’ll make it simpler: latin america is a shithole, you can call the invaders whatever you want, justify the invasion however you want, but millions of invaders are bringing their shithole here.

Have a shitty day, and don’t come back soon.

You will love this.

Here is what one of the alleypack morons said,
“Because if he’s an anchor baby, then he shouldn’t have been able to vote EVER in the past, since I’ve just learned here that it is NOT constitutional that anchor babies are Americans.”

He said he learned this from your article.

OMG!

These guys need to go back to school. All they can do is blindly follow and fax in form letters to Congress per their leaders.

As Yakov Smirnoff would say, “What a Country!”

I see your post is getting published on many sites. Good for you.

Many of the ANTI posts are touting the term “Anchor Baby.” By their own definition it makes no sense. No anchors anywhere. They were citizens for gosh sakes.

I also see one of your commenters said he was 3-4 Mexican because his grandmother had Hispanic ethnicity. What another stretch.

By these definitions, no one in America is American except for Native Americans. Most of the European ethnicities parents came to this country in the early 1900s. That means they are ALL Anchor babies. Goodness! No one is American. We are all a country of Immigrants.

Except for me of course. My family has been here over 200 years and yet you call me Mexican American.

Oh well. Go figure!

PS: makes you wonder what your point of writing this post was anyway!
