“Cruz needs to point out that his family has been in the U.S. a lot longer than Trump’s.”
It wouldn’t be surprising if he tried.
Donald Trump’s father was born in Woodhaven, Queens, to Elizabeth (née Christ) and Frederick Trump, immigrants who moved to the United States from Kallstadt, Germany in 1885.
Cruz wants you to forget he was born in Canada. Yes, Cruz may be an American citizen because his mother may still have been one at time of his birth, even if she renounced her own country to become a Canadian citizen in order to vote.
But he wants his fans to think he is a “natural born” citizen. His supporters can’t have it both ways — his supporters who once insisted that to be eligible to run for President a candidate must be born on U.S. soil.
Being born in Canada, makes Cruz a Canadian citizen as well, though Cruz claims he’s “renounced” his citizenship. (The Cruz’s change countries like the rest of us change undershorts.) Officially, though, he apparently is still a Canadian, unless he’s completed the official paperwork. Like another International Man of Mystery, his records are sealed. Oh well.
In sum, his family has been in the USA since they moved here with little Eduardo. Correcting you guys has become a full-time job for the rest of us.
Wait a minute...how the hell does that work? An illegal voter?
And was Cruz rebelling against his own parents for their overt un-American activities?
