Gloria Estefan?

Don't know what prompted me to look this up, but:

 

On September 1, 1957, Gloria Maria Fajardo was born in Havana, Cuba. At age two, she moved to Miami with her family when her family was forced to flee from the Castro government of Cuba. Life as a child was not easy for the "Queen of Latin Pop". Her father, Jose, was involved in the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion and spent 18 months in prison, while Gloria and her mother lived in a ghetto.

"Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:

I lift my lamp beside the golden door." --Emma Lazarus (as seen on the Statue of Liberty)

 

She's a US citizen. Does it really matter where she was born?
