I mean, he may be right that it'll hurt the box office to polarize the public, but Superman is as much an illegal alien as you can get.

Come to think of it, what is the story regarding his birth certificate, citizenship etc? Did Ma and Pa Kent claim a home birth and get him documented?

Probably, when did the original Superman even come? 40's? Records were pretty lazy back then, especially in rural America.

I don't even know if being "illegal" was a thing, we might have still had an open immigration policy.
