Byron York: Heidi Cruz says 'Ted is an immigrant'
Washington Examiner ^ | 4/30/16 7:50 PM | Byron York

Posted on 04/30/2016 5:29:17 PM PDT by dynoman

GREENFIELD, Ind. — At a campaign stop just days before the critical Indiana primary, Heidi Cruz, wife of Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, said one of her husband's strengths in the campaign is that he "is an immigrant."

"Ted is an immigrant," Mrs. Cruz said, emphasizing the word "is." "He is Hispanic."

Canada had first dibs

In my view, Canada has no vote in determining who is qualified to be president of the United States. WE decide that question for ourselves and there is nothing that Canada can say or do to interfere with OUR decision. Nothing that Canada did or didn't do is of any concern to me.

And, once again, I have no access to "sealed records" or to crystal balls to determine what they might say. I have to rely upon what I can see.

Why do you need a crystal ball when you know he was born in Canada and father came from Cuba?

The only authority for impeachment is the US Constitution.

Beyond that, you’re just making stuff up.

Can you see Cruz was born in Canada?

Heidi is ALL about ‘immigrants’...especially illegal ones.

When she worked for Goldman Sachs, they hired illegals. One they glorified with special interest interviews etc. She worked in the same office as Heidi. Goldman even met with Obama to help him devise his executive amnesty.

Cruz played the race (hispanic) card when he went to Harvard (was it as a foreign student? HOW did he afford it??) running the Harvard Latino Law Review as RAFAEL CRUZ.

First he couldn’t make up his mind to be Canadian or American. Now he can’t make up his mind what his name is. He changes it as needed.

This is why Ted has to stop Trump in Indiana.

He’s not sure what side of Trump’s wall he’s going to end up on.

Didn’t he have to show his birth certificate when he got a driver’s license or when he was accepted to college, law school, and when he was sworn in when he passed the bar?

If you have a definition for natural born citizen, then you should use it when voting. That’s what I do.

From whence does your definition come?

Right. The Constitution says you have to be a citizen of the US to be a senator. Cruz is not. Presto, he is gone baby. Remember, nobody likes Ted. Especially congress.

I suspect you disagree with me as to the definition of that term, but again, that is okay by me.

It was defined by the US Supreme Court over 140 years ago:

The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.

Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first.

-Chief Justice Morrison Waite

The Constitution states that the president must be a "natural born citizen." I know of no exceptions. i also know that no court has ever disqualified a candidate for president based upon the theories of any dead Swiss philosophers. To me, the most obvious construction of the term "natural born citizen" is that someone was born a citizen. That makes sense to me.

I should think that after 8 years of an Obama presidency, someone who believes that both parents must be citizens at the time of the candidate's birth has some explaining to do and they can begin with the question of why the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (from an opposing party) volunteered to administer the oath to someone who (under these Swiss theories) would be clearly ineligible to serve. And, why did so many of the other justices volunteer not once but twice to attend the celebration of that president's inauguration? If these Swiss theories are so obviously correct, why don't the justices of our Supreme Court see that supposed truth?

If she really said that, Ted needs to have a Ricky Ricardo style talk with her. She is obviously not "with the program."

Something about a man who cannot control his family...

‘He is not eligible to hold the office of the presidency.
He may not have met the requirements of becoming a U.S. Senator.
HIS RECORDS ARE SEALED.’
____________________________________

Well, FINALLY somebody notices what I’ve pointed out for weeks; HIS RECORDS ARE SEALED.

WHY? What’s he hiding?
Have we learned nothing from candidates with SEALED RECORDS???

Poor Heidi, not only does she suffer from depression, she's also a terminal MORON!

There's NO country called "HISPANIC"; it isn't a race, it isn't an ethnicity, it isn't religion, and it isn't even anything REAL! "Hispanic" is a recently made up term for those who speak "chicken Spanish" and excludes those from Spain! LOL

Teddy is an ILLEGAL ALIEN from Canada and is NOT a NBC!

I will not vote for anyone who was not a citizen of the U.S. at birth. And, I am very strict about that standard - no exceptions!!

Why?

It only applies to the Office of the President.

What "makes sense to you" has no legal basis.

Again...What law are you using?

There are only two choices...natural law or positive law.
