28. A bit confusing. His heritage is European. His grandfather -

- migrated to Mexico from the U.S. to start a branch of the Mormon church and his father was born in Mexico. When the media says "Mexican American" I think of someone with Latino/Mexican heritage. That's not the case here.

Either way, he needs to prove he was born in the US.
