Mitt Romney is an Anchor Baby

This is how it goes. The father of little Mitty was a Mexican named George Romney, born in Mexico. George's Mormon father had moved to Mexico because polygamy was legal there (or ignored). Events during the Mexican Revolution frightened George's father, so the family fled to the United States when George was a child. Once George grew up and fathered Mitty, George had his anchor baby and could not be sent back to the land of his birth.

Now if you want to quibble, you might argue that George Romney's parents were American citizens or at least citizens of Utah all along. You might claim that Mitty was grandfathered into citizenship. I'm prepared to be reasonable. The way I see it, Mitt Romney is a perfect candidate for the Dream Act.
