Thus, an individual born to a U.S. citizen parent -- whether in California or Canada or the Canal Zone -- is a U.S. citizen from birthUS statutes condition the granting of citizenship to children born abroad, when the citizenship of parents is mixed. Just saying, the law isn't as cut and dry as the article asserts.
Yes, it is cut and dried - one more time:
My grandson was born in London to my son who is an American citizen and to his mother, a British citizen. On the day of his birth, he was recorded as a British citizen AND an American citizen and was issued an American passport on that day of his birth.
When a child is born in a hospital, parents fill out a form declaring him a citizen and the hospital sends that form to the government - the hospital itself cannot make a baby a citizen of any country. On the day of my grandson's birth, two forms were sent, one to the British government making him a British citizen AND, at the American Embassy, one sent to the American government making him an American citizen.
Cruz was made an American citizen exactly as my grandson was made an American citizen.
When grandson arrives to this country by plane, he goes to the American citizen line to enter the country. If his mom comes, she has to go to the non-citizen line to enter the country.
Exactly! These laws everyone keeps citing are NOT THE CONSTITUTION. Obamacare is the law of the land, does anyone here think it's Constitutional?
If Cruz is a NBC using the completely illogical reasoning that just one of his parents was a US citizen. Then by that same definition he is also a NBC of Cuba and Canada.
I live in Texas and did my part to get him elected to the US senate. I fully support Cruz for president. That being said we must quit lying to ourselves as it will be our undoing. I don't care if he is an NBC at this point, we need someone that can lead this country back to limited government before it's too late.
