Very interesting.
There is a basic problem with the author’s argument. While it is true that up until 1977 Canada did not allow dual citizenship, that only applied to naturalized citizens. In other words, if you moved there as a US citizen and wanted to become a Canadian citizen, you had to renounce your US citizenship first. After 1977, that was no longer necessary.
However, Canada considered Ted Cruz a Canadian citizen because he was born there, and the US considered him a US citizen because his mother was a US citizen. The Canadian law had no effect on US citizenship and vice versa. So whether or not Canadian law recognized dual citizenship at the time is meaningless - we don’t allow other countries to determine who is and is not a US citizen.
Of course that law may be why Cruz didn’t realize he was actually also a Canadian citizen until later - since he was a US citizen by birth, and at the time Canadian law did not recognize dual citizenship, why would he need to renounce a citizenship that Canada didn’t recognize?
God told Ted Cruz to run for president. How are you going to argue against that.
God didn’t tell Donald Trump to run for president, who does Trump he think he is? ;-)
‘Here am I Lord, use me’: Ted Cruz’s dad says Holy Ghost authorized White House run
Karl Denninger is wrong. I heard Mark Levin prove it one night when someone called in and brought up Cruz’s citizenship. Levin yelled at him: “Get off my phone, you big dope!” and hung up on him.
/yawn. Though we can easily claim Winston Churchill as an American, he was English and the UK give a flying fig leaf what we have to say about it.
We are not ruled by Canadian law.
I would be interested to see when his American citizenship was documented. It might have been at birth, or soon thereafter, or it might have been four years later, when they returned to the states.
But Ted Cruz is DEFINITELY American. He has a legit social security number, a passport, etc.
It matters not one whit what laws Canada had about not recognizing dual citizenship. If they considered him a citizen at birth, and didn’t know he was also American or entities to be American, it ceased to matter after four years, anyway. THE USA DIDNT RECOGNIZE HIM AS CANADIAN once he was officially American. It’s all about what the laws are in this country.
To make it absurd, Russia could say that everyone who has ever said dass vedanya is officially a Russian citizen. That doesn’t affect one’s USA citizenship in any way. We don’t care. Mexico could make everyone who likes tacos a Mezican citizen. The USA doesn’t give a rat’s patoot.
It is ridiculous to talk about Ted Cruz not being a citizen of the US. There is no evidence he isn’t. He is. Barack Obama is another story. He couldn’t get a SS number. He had to forge both birth certificate and selective service paper. He never had a USA passport until the Senate mysteriously conferred one upon him. Then his files were tampered with, and someone died over it. He lived in foreign student housing at Occidental.
Most likely, with all that smoke, there is fire: most likely Barack Obama, our current President, was not a full citizen of the United States.
Ted Cruz was eligible to be a USA citizen from birth. It depends on when his parents applied, I suppose.
not true
I have a friend who in his late 80’s - he’s had duel with Canada all his life
Moe lies from the rabble
That’s not exactly correct, iirc. It could be a crba or a us passport application and approval.
Also, iirc, if the parents neglect doing so, then he person can apply up to 21 years old, I believe.
