His father was not an immigrant, he was born in Queens. And the immigration laws are a much bigger obstacle now than they were even in the 80s.

He was never an immigrant. He just came on a student visa, studied, then went back to Kenya.

Weird correction.

Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, mother to Donald, was born on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland in 1912, emigrated to the US in 1930, married an American in 1936, naturalized 1942.

Great find; I never would have realized this otherwise. Ironically this is more accurate than my statement about the current president!
