“...and? Your point, please?”
It corrects the omission which creates a false impression, false narrative, and perhaps some false conclusions. It also illustrates the fact we cannot entirely exclude the possibility of one or both parents acquiring Canadian citizenship by the time of the birth of Ted Cruz, if the timeline we’ve been given is somehow incorrect. Under Canadian law, Ted Cruz could not have been born with Canadian citizenship without one or both of his parents being (1) a Canadian citizen or (2) a Canadian Permanent Resident in waiting to become a Canadian citizen. We know Rafael Cruz became a Canadian citizen by naturalization by the time he and the family moved back into the United States in what has been reported to be in 1974. If the mother changed status before or after the birth of Ted Cruz, such a fact would invalidate many narratives and lead to further problems with the truth or falsity of much of the narrative being given to the public.
Absolutely false. Under the Canadian Nationality Act or 1947 (which was in effect when Ted was born) any child born in Canada was deemed to be a Canadian citizen, regardless of the nationality or citizenship of the parents, unless the parents were foreign diplomats.
If the mother changed status before or after the birth of Ted Cruz, such a fact would invalidate many narratives and lead to further problems with the truth or falsity of much of the narrative being given to the public.
Well, according to the same law cited above, immigrants had to have resided in Canada for 5 years before they could apply for citizenship. So the earliest either of them could have applied for citizenship would have been 1972. So you can stop worrying about Ted's mother not being a citizen when Ted was born... It was legally impossible for her to be anything other than a US citizen at the time.
By the way, Ted's mother has denied ever being a permanent resident of Canada, but even if she was, it would not have any effect on Ted's citizenship. He was still a US citizen at birth.
