Many contradictions in the regulations. They need to be revised so that someone like that guy in Michigan can stay. It also seems that some professional athletes and wealthy applicants almost get a pass when they apply.

Digression-
Some years ago, I remember that in New Mexico many birth records or church registers were lost and, in a state that was mostly Hispanic with many small rural villages at the time, some had a hard time proving their citizenship when they applied for passport, etc.
Can't remember exactly the hoops they had to go through but I remember witnesses who could swear to their US birth had to be found.
