And you can't be the President either... 2002-04-15

Its about determining the level of trust, not the individual. If you weren't born in the US you can't be the president. And if your father was convicted of a federal offense you can't be in the secret service either. I can go on and on. I qualify for both and want neither. Personally I don't care where people are from, I was born in this country and probably care less than most immigrants, but I can see why someone would want to avoid certain traits in people working in very sensitive areas. And its only one criteria...if you can't speak english, you aren't going to get the job anyway.
