It follows precisely because of the elevation of jus soli citizenship that was never intended by the framers. this is exactly the wrong-headed thinking that attempts to deny Ted Cruz his jus sanguinis citizenship by birth because he was born in Canada.

Your insistence on having it both ways is exactly the thinking that has given us anchor babies and it way past time you admitted it.

I’m not trying to have it both ways. Those who keep watering down the natural born requirement want it both ways.

Rubio supporters tell us that it doesn’t matter who his parents were, as long as he was born in the country. The Cruz people tell us that it doesn’t matter whether he was born in the country, or who his father was, as long as his mother was born in the country.

And most Republicans can’t even see the destruction that is being wrought by all of this continued erosion of constitutional standards.
