Ted Cruz's Amazing Stances on Birthright Citizenship and the 14th Amendment from 2011 to 2015.
yep, Cruz creeps up, we need to bring out the birther issue to slap him back down again
FYI
The video is not on the citizenship of a person born abroad (as Cruz was), rather, it is on the citizenship of persons born in the US, of foreigners, and even more narrowly, of foreigners in the US illegally.
I thought the Trump Rule was nothing said before June, 2015 counts.
Did I miss something?
Issue is : Natural Born Citizenship
Actually the Trump rule is:
If you do not weight statements made by Donald Trump 36 years ago (1980) as having less validity than his current statements and positions then you you should use policy statements by Ted Cruz 36 years ago to discredit his current positions.
SBO. 2. Section 202 of the Immigration and Nationality Act... “(b)(3) an alien born in the United States shall be considered as having been born in the country of which he is a citizen or subject, or if he is not a citizen or subject of any country then in the last foreign country in which he had his residence as determined by the consular officer; (4) an alien born within any foreign state in which neither of his parents was born and in which neither of his parents had a residence at the time of such alien's birth may be charged to the foreign state of either parent.”
Now please tell me, if the 14th gives citizenship simply based on birth on US soil, then how can one born in the US be an alien at birth? Even the Immigration & Nationality Act of 1965 states that children born to alien in the US are themselves aliens at birth.
“SEC. 203. (a) Aliens who are subject to the numerical limitations specified in section 201(a) shall be allotted visas or their conditional entry authorized, as the case may be, as follows: “(1) Visas shall be first made available, in a number not to exceed 20 per centum of the number specified in section 201(a) (ii), to qualified immigrants who are the unmarried sons or daughters of citizens of the United States.
Now let's go back to Sec. 202 ... “(b) Each independent country, self-governing dominion, mandated territory, and territory under the international trusteeship system of the United Nations, other than the United States and its outlying possessions shall be treated as a separate foreign state for the purposes of the numerical limitation set forth in the proviso to sub section (a) of this section when approved by the Secretary of State. All other inhabited lands shall be attributed to a foreign state specified by the Secretary of State. For the purposes of this Act the foreign state to which an immigrant is chargeable shall be determined by birth within such foreign state...”
Now since Canada did not recognize dual citizenship in 1970, and the fact that Canada considered Cruz to be a natural born Canadian, Per the 1965 Act passed by Congress, which is 100% constitutional in its language, Cruz himself, at best, is a 14th Amendment “naturalized” citizen.
Facts are facts and if the Republican electorate wishes to elect as their nominee, a natural born Canadian, then I hold it not against them. However, do not ask me to turn a blind eye to the law and vote for a usurper of the laws, especially one who claims to be a scholar in the Constitution & laws of the United States.
Cruz “character”:
1. Phony summonses mailed out, scaring people to vote for Cruz.
2. Claiming Carson quit, presinc captains told voters “vote for Cruz”
3. Campaigning in the 800 churches, showing video “vote for me” with his preacher/father stomping for him. Rafael Cruz is a 7 Mountain Dominionist and believes his son is the anointed one.
4. “Brilliant” lawyer, did not know he was Canadian citizen and that he is not Natural Born Citizen, not eligible for office of P or VP.
5. Making phony video advertising with lies about opponents.
6. Phony video about Rubio - Obama.
7. 7 Mountain Dominionist Church = Christian???
Just enough to beat Trump in IA, apologize, rinse and repeat?
Liar is the polite term for this Cuban. His father was pro-communist in Cuba, imprisoned by Batista, but now he is refugee?
IRREFUTABLE AUTHORITY HAS SPOKEN
(Oct. 18, 2009) The Post & Email has in several articles mentioned that the Supreme Court of the United States has given the definition of what a “natural born citizen” is. Since being a natural born citizen is an objective qualification and requirement of office for the U.S. President (and VP), it is important for all U.S. Citizens to understand what this term means.

Applies to Cruz and Rubio, both at the time not born to US citizens and on US soil.
The “post & email” is hardly an authority and simply using the laws (statutes at large that govern the 14th Amendment) I could drive a Mack truck through some of their conclusions that are NOT based upon the statutes at large.
The 14th amendment gives citizenship to SLAVES born on US soil, NOT illegal alien jack pot babies.
“Every Person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.”
Senator Jacob Howard,
co-author of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment, 1866.
