Ted Cruz is a citizen. Buuuuuuut when he came to this country, he entered as a Canadian. He had the potential to have always been a US citizen but maybe his dad’s activities or parental laziness didn’t have them applying for his documentation until he was 16 and needed a passport.
From what I’ve read, at the time of his birth in Canada, his father was Cuban and, for whatever reason, the mother never went to US embassy to complete the required documents for his US citizenship.
Perhaps she renounced her US citizenship when she became a Canadian citizen prior to Ted’s birth?
I don’t know the reason - only he is not a documented US citizen.
That Cruz holds himself out to be a Constitutionalist is laughable.
