He really knows foreign policy.

That is simply not true

Sen. Ted Cruz (R., TX) released a statement Friday demanding that President Barack Obama end federal aid to Egypt due to the recent military coup.

Here we see Ted Cruz siding with a terrorist organization the Muslim Brotherhood after the good guys (Egyptian military) took them out of power in Egypt. Is is a huge error in judgment and displays an astounding lack of basic knowledge about the politics of the middle east.

He's an outsider, and America needs an outsider.

Another simply not true. Cruz has spent almost his entire adult life in government much of it in D.C. His wife is a high level employee for Golden Sachs one of the most influential banks on Wall Street. His claim to be an outsider is about as credible as Jeb claim to be an outsider.

Man oh man the lies just keep coming

Trump and Carson aren't serious candidates.

Trump is not a serious candidate? That is an obvious bald face lie.

He knows how to run a real campaign as opposed to a flash-in-the-pan media event.

In Iowa yes, else where not so much. Is Crux on the ballot in Virgina? Trump is.

He's a true believer in the United States of America.

Cruz is a true believer in Cruz. Has he released his FS-240 yet?

There is a procedure for a child broad to acquire birth citizenship, note I did not say natural born citizenship, just citizenship at birth. This procedure has been in place since 1910. From search.ancestry.com

Contained in this database are birth reports from U.S. Consulates abroad between the years of 1910 and 1949. The report form is called A Consular Report of Birth Abroad and is primary proof of the individual's American citizenship. To qualify, the child must have either two U.S. citizen parents with one of the parents having resided in the U.S. prior to the child's birth, or one of the child's parents must be a U.S. citizen who has resided in the U.S. for a specified number of years previous to the child's birth.

From the US State Department A child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents may acquire U.S. citizenship at birth if certain statutory requirements are met. The child's parents should contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate to apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America (CRBA) to document that the child is a U.S. citizen. If the U.S. embassy or consulate determines that the child acquired U.S. citizenship at birth, a consular officer will approve the CRBA application and the Department of State will issue a CRBA, also called a Form FS-240, in the child's name.

The procedure is as documented for US Armed forces families at military.findlaw.com but this procedure applies to all US citizens living aboard.

From military.findlaw

If the parents are married to each other, the child is a U.S. citizen if

One parent is a U.S. citizen, and the U.S. citizen parent lived in the U.S. for at least five years prior to the child's birth, at least two of which were after the age of fourteen.

In Cruzs' case the above is applicable. Then the procedure to acquire "birth citizenship" is:

After the parents have determined that their child is a U.S. citizen, they need to apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad at the nearest U.S. consulate. The parents will need to submit an application (PDF), along with documentation proving the parents' citizenship and the record of the child's birth from the resident country. The Consular Report of Birth Abroad can be used later as proof of the child's U.S. citizenship, and may be used to obtain a U.S. passport for the child.
