Yes. By the 1790’s law, it is arguable that even Rafael Cruz was a US citizen able to pass along US citizenship to his children. I’m betting a good lawyer could demonstrate, by using the processes current in the 1790s about swearing to any magistrate anyplace on the frontier after 2 years of residing in a state, that Cruz Sr. had appeared and indicated his intent.
Question! What/where is the 1790 law that would make a Cuban citizen in the 1900s a USA citizen automatically?
