And since he did not immigrate or become naturalized, what file would you suggest he show?
You’re just outright lying.
Pathetic and dispicable.
False. Foreign Soil births of US citizens are recorded at the US Consulate. No other documentation is required, it is treated as the "US" birth certificate.
Uh, yes a foreign birth is recorded at the U.S Consulate in the form of a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America (CRBA). You don’t think the INS would maintain copies of that?

How so?
Demanding that he disprove a negative. Very Alinskyite.
I can’t show my naturalization papers either since I was never naturalized.
Funny thing is that I suspect this will show to be more harmful to the accusers. I see John McCain is already backtracking.

Shut up you lying scum.
Don’t play innocent.
Playing innocent is playing stupid and you are not that stupid.
Just focus on the latest shiny object the MSM is dangling at us.
Since you didn’t mention the current law, here is where readers can go and educate themselves should they want to:
The current governing law is Title 8 section 1401. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1401
It's a good idea to record the birth of an American child born abroad at the consulate, there is no law requiring that this be done. Failure to get this certificate and registration does not affect the citizenship of the child.
In most countries, this would be done as a matter of course, because it is a prerequisite for a passport, local visa, etc. But Canada did not at that time require a passport or a visa for US citizens, nor did the US require a passport for returning US citizens or for Canadians either. So there would have been little compelling reason to register the birth at the US consulate.
Frankly, failure to register the birth at the US consulate is a bit irresponsible, but it isn't fair to blame the parent's irresponsibility on the infant.
See tagline. It really is that simple.
Since Cruz was born in a foreign country, in order to guarantee his citizenship, his parents (mother) had to make a record of this with the American consulate/embassy.
You are so right again.
Think Rubio took another hit too with Cruz’s remarks:
No surprise, McCain intends to endorse Rubio, they are practically the same on foreign policy and exactly the same on immigration.
Laughed and laughed. Such a hit on Rubio out of it all.
I don't think INS would ever be involved or receive such paperwork. Why would they?
Yes his mother should have reported the foreign birth.

And here it (i.e., the applicable law) is for those who cannot follow links and read themselves.
“...The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:...
(g) 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 five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years...”
Who else would? Are you arguing with a straight face that the U.S. government requires documentation in order for someone to acquire citizenship but then just tosses the document in the trash can?
