We should just deport them, along with Obama, who was also born in the US.
(But keep Melania in the US, even though she wasn't born here.)

Grok:
"likely exaggerated" but not definitely false.
Despite only being 1.4% of the American population, 20% of the FBI is Mormon.
Grok:
The FBI does not collect or report religious affiliation of its employees (~35,000 total, including ~13,000 special agents). No official data exists on Mormon percentages.Origin of the RumorMormons are seen as desirable recruits: clean lifestyles (no drugs/alcohol), foreign language skills from missions, and easier security clearances.
FBI/CIA recruiters visit BYU; anecdotal reports of higher proportions in some offices.
Historical claims (e.g., J. Edgar Hoover preferring Mormon agents) fuel the myth.
Specific "20%" (or "1 in 5") figures appear in old forums/Reddit but lack sources—likely exaggerated from local anecdotes (e.g., one office with 5/20 Mormons).
"likely exaggerated" but not definitely false.
