1. What makes you so certain that the other two

entered illegaly?

Reading their bios doesn't indicate that. Just because the other two weren't dual citizens to begin with doesn't make their entry here illegal.

3. The other two have stated that they didn't enter legally

Or were here illegally at one point.

5. Correct. The OP was shortened

So it wasn't so wordy.

6. I deleted to avoid being a spoiler

I mistakenly thought you had already given away the answer. Sorry.

But there is an important distinction between entering illegally and being in illegal status solely due to visa overstay.

13. There isn't any distinction at all

Many people that are here illegally (and have been for years) came here legally.

It's just that the RepubliCONs pushing the image of the poor, dirty Mexican crossing the border to take their job (that they'd never take in the first place) sells better when it comes to creating anger in their base.

8. Thank you. I did not know they'd said that.

I didn't notice anything like that with a brief internet search. Brief being the operative word here.

2. When I think of how ugly we have become to the rest of the world, literally overnight it

infuriates me because I am a patriot.

Wars were fought, people died, for us to be a FREE nation that welcomed others to a fault.

I know my family members of WWII Generation who voted republican religiously but also respected immigrants and admired what they went through.

Said family members were they alive today would be sickened by this child in the WH.

7. ANSWER

Seth Rogen. His father was/is American so he had dual citizenship at birth.

Fox entered the US without a visa.

Hayek entered legally but overstayed her visa at one point. She won't be more specific on when and for how long.

9. I don't think Canadians needed a visa

to come to this country. Maybe a work visa which he didn't bother with, but he'd have been legal just to cross the border in the first place.

[SFnomad]

15. If he started working and didn't have a work visa, he immediately became illegal

If he was here as a tourist on the visa waiver program and stayed 91 days, he immediately became illegal.

There is NO difference between these types of illegal and the type where they cross the border illegally.

10. If Ms Hayek needs a place to hide from the authorities, my guest room is available.

Just saying....
