But he was not naturalized. He was born a citizen. He did not achieve it through some naturalization process, taking an oath, and all the rest.
“But he was not naturalized. He was born a citizen. He did not achieve it through some naturalization process, taking an oath, and all the rest.”
That is where the fraud is. I’m short on time now. If you are really interested in understanding, read my past posts quoting the actual laws and the U.S. State Department manual administering the law. The only way possible for Ted Cruz to acquire U.S. citizenship was by the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952. Read the excerpts from it. also note how the U.S. Supreme Court wrote the only way such a child born abroad can acquire U..S. citizenship is by naturalization, and that is the exact law even you used to justify his citizenship, a naturalization law. The so-called “process” you are looking for is automatic naturalization at birth as clearly stated in the U.S. State Department manual and the U.S. Code.
“But he was not naturalized. He was born a citizen. He did not achieve it through some naturalization process, taking an oath, and all the rest.”
You are acting like the kind of person who adamantly denies a cliff is a cliff and obstinately walks right off of the cliff to his doom. Examples:
66 Stat. Public Law 414 - June 27, 1952. . . . (7) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than ten years, at lest five of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years: TITLE III - NATIONALITY AND NATURALIZATION. Chapter 1 - Nationality at Birth and by Collective Naturalization. NATIONALS AND CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES AT BIRTH. Sec. 301. (a) The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth....”
The U.S. State Department Foreign Affairs Manual used to administer the naturalization law today says it is the authority for the “naturalization by certain children born abroad to U.S. citizen parents.”
U.S. Department of State Foreign Affairs Manual Volume 7
Consular Affairs. 7 FAM 1151 INTRODUCTION... b. 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(23); INA 101(a)(23)) defines naturalization as the conferring of nationality of a state upon a person after birth by any means whatsoever. . . For the purposes of this subchapter naturalization includes:... (5) “Automatic” acquisition of U.S. citizenship after birth, a form of naturalization by certain children born abroad to U.S. citizen parents or children adopted abroad by U.S. citizen parents.
So, now you are trying to tell us “a form of naturalization by certain children born abroad to U.S. citizen parents” does not mean what it says, “naturalization”?
Also explain to us what part of the following U.S. Supreme Court statement did you fail to understand: “United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 18 S.Ct. 456, 42 L.Ed. said “A person born out of the jurisdiction of the United States can only become a citizen by being naturalized....”
What is there about “can only become a citizen by being naturalized” that you fail to understand and comprehend?
