Cruz’s mother was a US citizen at the time of his birth.
Your anchor baby comment is all the prof I need to know Trump supporters aren’t deep thinkers.
Anchor babies refers to children of illegal aliens.
Cruz has not released all of his records. He has the power to put this to rest.
Hmmmmm, this thread is about Rubio. I was talking about Rubio. Not sure why you jumped to Cruz.
Your anchor baby comment is all the prof I need to know Trump supporters aren’t deep thinkers.
So, based on your reading comprehension and understanding of inferred content, I'm guessing you didn't score very high on your SATs? BTW, it's 'proof' not 'prof' unless, of course, you were referring to a professor.....
According to the Oxford Dictionary,
Anchor baby - Used to refer to a child born to a noncitizen mother in a country which has birthright citizenship, especially when viewed as providing an advantage to family members seeking to secure citizenship or legal residency.
This definition does not mention legality of entry nor county of birth.
You instinctively jumped to Cruz' mother's American citizenship, but if you thought just a little bit deeper you would have realized that the remark was made in reference to Canadian citizenship, not American citizenship.
Cruz fits the Oxford Dictionary definition of anchor baby in Canada just as Rubio fits the definition of anchor baby in the United States.

Hats off to you , deep thinker, who can’t spell ‘proof’
If you look deeper instead of thinking ‘deep’ on things you don’t quite understand, you might find that
‘Anchor baby’ refers to children born in USA when their foreign parents happened to be in USA, visiting, doing business, or just living in USA while still keeping their own country’s citizenship (these parents are foreigners until they naturalize to be US citizens!) They might be illegal aliens but are not necessarily illegal aliens. They may be just passing through USA while en route somewhere; they may be the rich, the movie stars, etc., who want to have a baby in USA so the baby will enjoy the benefits of being a USA citizen and also to open up the opportunities for themselves to become USA citizens.
Fact - Marco Rubio was born in USA to Cuban citizen parents. When Marco was born, his parents were foreigners (Cubans) living in USA. They were not necessarily illegal aliens, but they were FOREIGNERS subject to foreign jurisdiction !
According to your ‘deep thinking’, the baby born in USA to a couple of terrorists who are in USA on a visa or work permit or whatever, stayed in USA for a while and eventually (after the baby’s birth) naturalized to be USA citizens (becoming US citizens for some reasons) can be the president, despite the loyalty he/she quite likely will have to his parents’ country, despite his upbringing by 2 terrorists from a foreign country?
This could be an extreme example, but how do we know that a certain anchor baby will have undivided loyalty to USA only? Evidence - Rubio is pushing amnesty to benefit his illegal Cubans and Latinos !!
Is that deep thinking enough for you?
