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."
Ted Cruz, who was born in Canada but who is an American citizen by birth, has come under withering fire from rival Donald Trump over his Canadian birth. Trump has questioned whether Cruz is constitutionally eligible to be president. (Most legal experts believe there is no question that Cruz is, but the matter has not been litigated.) And Trump has mocked Cruz, whose given name is Rafael Edward Cruz and whose mother is American and whose father is Cuban, over the circumstances of his birth.
"Rafael! Straight outta the hills of Canada," Trump said at a rally in Connecticut last week. "Was a Canadian citizen until 14, 15 months ago. And then he ran for the Senate. You know, you're registered as a Canadian citizen. He says, 'Oh, I'd never do that.' He never knew he was a Canadian! I can't believe that."

Heidi’s going to wish she kept her mouth shut ...
We have been unifying this party. Five of those 17 candidates have endorsed our campaign. And different parts of the party. We’ve been unifying fiscal conservatives. Evangelicals. Young people. Do you know that Ted has been winning the millennial vote in state after state? He’s been winning the women’s vote in state after state. Ted is an immigrant. He is Hispanic. He can unify this party. We have libertarians joining our cause. I have people everyday from the Democrat party telling that they have re-registered to vote for Ted as a Republican because they understand what he stands for and he represents American values.
Heidi spill the beans
Immigrant = Not a Natural Born Citizen
Would love to hear that soundbite. Anyone have a link?
Ted’s having some kind of a week.
... or not, the way he’s going.
Mark Levin is going to be furious with her for this leftist attack on Cruz.
She can make it up as good As he can!
Cruz is Hispanic?
He must have gotten into Princeton and Harvard under Affirmative Action.
No wonder why his records are sealed.
????
That explanation never makes sense to me.
Kind of like Barry Soetoro, who was born somewhere....we don't know....and his birth certificate has so many Adobe Illustrator layers that an 8th grader could see it.
Audio is at the Washington Times in title
Nah...Levin will be obsessing about the way Trump mispronounced, “Tanzania,” and will cite some obscure writing from John Locke’s stable boy to show why it makes Trump an enemy of the Constitution.
You're delusional, and it's too late for Ted to do anything but destroy the party.
Apparently, Ted Cruz plans on limping into the GOP convention with, at best, about 700 delegates or so.
And then what's he going to do somehow, magically? He's going to seize the nomination from Donald Trump, displacing the party's clear frontrunner.
Then what? This is the most ridiculous part: after swiping the nomination, he will:
It would be laughable if it wasn't so dangerous.
Ted Cruz appears fully willing to sacrifice his own party, and even the country, on the altar of his own blind personal ambition.
Ted Cruz's egotism and malignant narcissism make Donald Trump's ostensible character deficits pale in comparison.
Vote Trump
Born here of citizen parents
Natural born citizen
If one can be anything else besides a US citizen, one cannot be a natural born citizen.
Thanks, I just went back and looked more carefully. Yep, she sure did say it. Cruz is an immigrant, does she mean he came illegally as he must not have had a green card? Either way, immigrants CANNOT be president...with all due respect to Mr. Constitutional expert and lawyer Mark Levin.
It’s why Cruz has to stop Trump.
He’s not sure he’ll be on the right side of the wall.
