Again, Ted Cruz’s father did not come here as a refugee. He came here in 1957 - before the Castro takeover - as an immigrant.
This is an interesting case. As I understand it, his father came to the U.S. on a student visa and, at the time of Senator Cruz’s birth, still held Cuban citizenship. It seems Senator Cruz was born in Canada to an American mother and Cuban father. Does that make him a Cuban/Canadian/American citizen?
I like him as a Senator but really don’t look forward to the divisiveness his candidacy for president would bring. In any case, it is still early enough for the issue to be sorted out before a decision has to be made. Hopefully, we don’t replay the last election where so many of us dug in early with the attitude that if my candidate doesn’t get the nomination I refuse to support anyone else.
