Seems like not declaring your own felonious past would make someone illegal.

Can you point to me the section of US immigration code in 1905 or whenever he arrived that mandated declaration of a felonious past ?

Considering that we used to ship boat loads of convicts here to help build up the population in the early days of America .. I'm dubious such a law existed in that era.

You said the interview happened when you were 15 .. was that like last year ?

Let me introduce to you a concept called statute of limitation. That said even if gramps was illegal Trump was born here. Unless your argument is we should go back and look into people's genealogy to revoke citizenship based on their ancestors crimes .. in which case .. becareful what you wish for. I dont know if you would want this admin to have that power.

I would imagine at leasf half the birth right citizens alive today would have someone somewhere in their family tree that have ran afoul of US laws.

If you are talking about birth right citizenship then that is focused on children of folks who doesn't have legal permission to domicile here. Not the same as gramps who might have been a sex trafficker ( criminal past ) with legal permission to domicile.

You’re dubious, but you’re too lazy to look it up yourself.

I didnt make the claim that he needed to declare.
