I don't trust foreign born citizens with the presidency. They'd be more likely to sell us out to the UN or some other joke of an organization.

Because naturalized citizens are secret agents planted by the UN to advance the UN agenda?
Don't be absurd.  I completely agree with Philip, and I'm a foreigner.  If you're unable to comprehend what he is saying, maybe you should ask for a refund on your education.

Jesus Christ dude, there's no need to insult me.

It was intentionally absurd to show my feelings about the argument.

I'm not saying that there is no legitimate argument on the other side, I'm simply saying that justifying it by "they're more likely to turn over control to the UN" is awfully silly.
I know what you said, and that statement is incorrect.  You then tried to argue it by presenting a hyperbole, which is an improper way of presenting an argument.  How about backing your statement up with some reasoning?

My reasoning is simple: There are always ties that bind you to where you woke up, and the people you met.  The first few years of your live you are very open minded and can be easily influenced.  You may not realize it, but subconsciously you have ties that bind you to people, places, and events.  These subconscious events may flow into conscious thoughts.

You do not want a president that wasn't born in your country because of unknown influences on him.
