Two Mexicans can sneak across the border, Zero Percent American in any way.

Punch out a baby 400 Feet in Texas and that Kid is a 100% American entitled to all our rights and benefits? . . .

WTF kinda of sense does that make!?

This is beside the point, regarding the status of Cruz. But as I understand it, the common law jus soli or "place of birth" rule on citizenship includes exceptions--ambassadors' kids and invader's kids are not citizens by virtue of birth in a country not their own.

Oh No, it is the point.

Ted Cruz's mother was an American. Therefore he is.

and invader's kids are not citizens by virtue of birth in a country not their own.

Tell that to the Hospitals in Texas and Hawaii giving out Citizenship papers to Birth Tourists from Mexico and China.

If you Have An American Parent, that makes you and American, whether you are born in Canada or Germany or anywhere else.
