I like Cruz a lot, but I have no use for people holding dual citizenships. Canada. Israel. Wherever. It’s B.S. Pick a country, be a citizen there, and live there. We don’t need any half-assed Americans running for president; we have one now.
I get the impression that Senator Curz didn’t even know that he had Canadian citizenship until this issue hit the media. I believe that it is true that he did not know he had Canadian citizenship at birth until he read it in the Dallas newspaper this week.
There are lots of people who were born overseas on American military bases, for example, who have no idea that tey are citizens of another nation AND American citizens. Just because you live in a foreign country doesn’t mean you know all of their laws.
It is particularly typical that Americans don’t always know about their Canadian citizenship.
Senator Cruz is immediately renouncing Canadian citizenship.
