As some of you probably already know, the winner of Sunday’s New York Marathon was Mebrahtom Keflezighi who immigrated to America from Eritrea (in East Africa) when he was twelve years old. While many are celebrating the first American to win the race in a very long time, others are saying Meb was not a real American because he was not born here. What do you think? Must you be born in the United States to be an American?
