    You are right,but lets not forget that a passport is just a piece of paper!

    I know quite a few people who own a German,Spanish,American,or Czech passport,but stem from Russia or Belarus. I very much doubt that the mayority of them feels any loyalty towards his host nation.It is just convenient to hold an American passport or a passport of one of the member countries of the european union.It helps a lot!

    Nevertheless,blood and your mother tongue as well as family ties are much stronger than a piece of paper and an artificial feeling of companionchip.

    John McCain wasn't born on American soil and he just ran for president. You need to be a naturalized citizen to run for president. Puerto Rican's born after 1940 are considered naturalized citizens of the United States.

    the truth is the same reason why the tennis williams sisters have welsh names and carl lewis has a welsh name.
    it is because cardiff was the biggest docks in the world and the ships used to stop off there on there way to america from africa with the slaves in and they were mostly named in cardiff so took on welsh names.
    i read it in a history of cardiff book.

    1. PBF. PBF is NOT retired. He is waiting. My guess is that he will want 1 fight next year, either against Fatton, DLH or Pacman. He will make his 15 million or so, and go back to the Club Scene in Vegas.

    2. James Toney. As far as pure skill, as far as a pure technician/Tactician, there is no one of equal.

    3. Jermain Taylor. Two V's over Bernard. Nuff said.

    Naturalized citizen and Natural born citizen are interchangeable terms, they mean the same thing. Of course they can't vote in the general election, they have no representation in the U.S congress.

    no they are not. a naturalized citizen is a person born in another country who gains u.s. citizenship through the immigration and naturalization process. . a natural born citizen iz one born on what can be considered u.s. soil.


    schwarzennager = naturalized

    stallone= natural born

    and actually they do have a token representative in congress. they have no representetion in the senate

    Calzaghe, Hatton, Haye. For those of you who do not count Calzaghe, as he is Welsh in which case I guess Hatton, Haye & Froch

    It doesn't even matter, because Puerto Ricans are considered Natural Born Citizens anyway. Being born in Puerto Rico, even to Puerto Rican parents, does not disqualify you from running for president.
