Consider these facts:
1957- Rafael Cruz enters the US as a CUBAN Citizen on a student visa.
1961-1962 Rafael Cruz finishes college ,applies for political asylum, and gets a GREEN CARD.
1964-1966 Rafael Cruz takes a few odd jobs, marries, and moves to Canada. He applies for and becomes a CANADIAN CITIZEN and stays for eight years.
1970 Ted Cruz is born in Canada, to two parents who had lived in Canada for at least four years at that time, and had applied for and received Canadian citizenship under Canadian 0mmigration and Naturalization Laws, as stated by Rafael Cruz. As a result, US statutes would have voided the prior green card status which requires among other things, permanent residency within the United States and obviously, not becoming a citizen of another country during the time frame of the green card.
1974 The Cruz family moves to the United States when Ted is approximately four years old. Rafael Cruz has publicly stated that he remained a citizen of Canada until he renounced his Canadian citizenship when he applied for and became a Naturalized citizen in 2005. As a result, his wife and son were also Canadian citizens, his son being born a citizen of Canada in 1970.
2005 Rafael Cruz applies for legal citizenship and renounces his Canadian citizenship. No record of Ted renouncing his Canadian citizenship or applying for citizenship exists as of 2005.
Based on the above, would you conclude that he is a NBC ?
His mother was a US citizen. End of discussion.
“Consider these facts:”
You say nothing about his mother. Doesn’t the mother’s American citizenship make him an American citizen (give or take the fog)?
