“I just read one poster say that Canadian law doesn’t permit anchor babies to be Canadian citizen”

This is incorrect.

“Citizenship is automatic and goes back to the day the person was born”

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/rules_2009.asp

Cruz is a Canadian citizen by birth.

“so his birth there to foreign citizens didn’t make him a Canadian citizen.”

Cruz’s father isn’t an American either, he’s a Cuban national who was residing in Canada at the time.

This really isn’t shaping up very well for you. Not only is Cruz a Canadian citizen at birth, your definition makes him a citizen of Cuba too. That gives him not just two, but three nationalities.

I like Cruz, but having a Cuban and Canadian citizen in the white house is not acceptable. We can do better.

“It’s irrefutable”

Given as you are wrong about Canadian law, what else are you wrong about?

Actually, what I wrote was that Canadian law was irrelevant. Check the post.

The point is that the US Congress gets to decide who is automatically by birth a US citizen and Ted Cruz has always been a US citizen because he is one by birth....automatically...and by LAW.

So, the truth is that I have the law on my side and you have armchair hypothesizing on your side.

Congress shall have the power to...make uniform rule of naturalization and...To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

I also have the US Constitution on my side. But, I’m repeating myself. The law isn’t going to change in the next few hours because of this discussion.
