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."

She’ll be back on the curb in Texas very soon now.
Shades of Martha Mitchell!
Hidey pulls another stunt like this, Snarly, Raphael pere and Stabby the Clown will have her isolated in a hotel room without cell phone for the duration.
from wiki re: Martha Mitchell Effect ( the Watergate scandal)
....Psychologist Brendan Maher named the effect after Martha Beall Mitchell.[3] Mrs. Mitchell was the wife of John Mitchell, Attorney-General in the Nixon administration.
When she alleged that White House officials were engaged in illegal activities, her claims were attributed to mental illness. Ultimately, however, the facts of the Watergate scandal vindicated her and garnered her the label, “The Cassandra of Watergate”. However, many of her allegations remain unproven, such as her claim that she had been drugged and put under guard during a visit to California after her husband had been summoned back to Washington, D.C. in order to prevent her from leaving the hotel or making phone calls to the news media.
Many more than 2. Google it. I would post a few pictures but harder to do with an iPad.
“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.”
What happened in NY, CT, RI, MA, MY, DE, PA, FL, GA, SC and the other 18 states he has lost!
Excellent distillation
You forgot to include that a Cruz presidency would reduce the natural born citizen clause to a nullity, which appears to be a serious goal of the globalists.
Ping for later
“No, wait...I said Ted is IGNORANT...err no, wait...”
The Cruzes are definitely trying to have it both ways.
my understanding, an infant is either NBC or immigrant who becomes a citizen.
Heidi cruz is saying Ted is NOT an US citizen at birth, but an immigrant?
Then why all the court cases, she just answered the question, unless she’s a flat out liar like Ted.
Well, kind of, sort of. His mother is a white American of Irish and Italian heritage. His paternal grandfather came straight from Spain, so really he only has 1/4 Cuban ancestry--and there are even many Cubans who are racially white (with all or almost all of their heritage coming from Europe). I'm not sure how much he's really supposed to have in common with the average Mexican immigrant, who make up the bulk of "Hispanics" in this country.
I’m pretty sure that mouse1 forgot to use quotation marks around that comment (a common faux pas here). It looks like something Heidi Cruz said.
“Should have used quotation marks.”
You should also use quotation marks when pasting another Freeper’s comments into a post.
It’s not just a courtesy. It lets other readers know you’re repeating someone else’s words.
yikes...next time you might want to put the quote in quote marks””...
or we’re you testing to see who actually read the article ?
“I think Ted and Obama have many odd similarities.”
They do. Far too many for comfort, if you ask me. The parallels between them are downright freaky.
Or use those darn Italians as was customary in the beginning.
Mark Levin is going to be furious with her for this leftist attack on Cruz.
How were Italians used in the beginning?
I didn't know Italians were darners. Interesting.
