American born doesn't necessarily have to mean "born in the US." It could also mean "American citizen at birth."

In my opinion, we should drop the whole "If you are born in the US you are a citizen thing as it was something needed in a different era before mass transit." Nowadays, Ethiopians like Dibaba are flying over here and giving birth, getting that citizenship (and our better healthcare) and then flying home.
If you are here illegally or on a tourist visa, sorry, your kiddo isn't a citizen. It blows my mind that no politician talks about this .

Rojo if they want better healthcare, flying to the USA is a pretty bad decision. Do some basic research on the level of healthcare in your country compared to the rest of the world.

With rogue's nuanced articulation, he could be talking about anything.
American born means American citizen. That's what the law is, not 'how the law works'.

No, it's actually clear what rojo meant by his post, even despite spelling errors. It wasn't unclear, you just interpreted it wrong. It's okay, it happens. Just move on.

In an era of tighter doping controls and bio passports no American-born male will ever break 13:00 again.

Rojo, my parents were here at University (dad did his Masters at U of O), I was born in Eugene, and they went back to Aussie when I was 18 months old. I'm as much a US citizen as you are. It blows my mind that you don't know how this works.

Your parents were on students visas. So Rojo was not talking about them.

All the more likely to break 13 as he has been honing his speed at 1500m and his pr is basically sub 13 pace, less than 1 second per lap. He should do it.

Technically that's not the case, there are plenty of people born in the US who aren't given American citizenship, it's not "automatic" by being born in the US.

Come on. That was absolutely not a “call” on Kincaid.
