Your "anchor baby" video shows Cruz giving a professional opinion that birthright citizenship is in the 14th amendment and has been interpreted that way by judges and will likely continue to be. His understanding is that it will take an Constitutional Amendment to override it, but he does favor overturning it. Your alleged "flip-flop" doesn't hold water.

I'll even post the manipulated video here so others can see and judge for themselves.

Ted Cruz "Conflicting" Stances on Birthright Citizenship [14th Amendment]

So are you saying Cruz STILL believes the US is obligated Constitutionally to grant unlimited anchor baby birthright citizenship to the babies of however many pregnant women can make it across the border—and all the chain migration, etc., that that entails?

Btw, the reason I called Cruz a flip flopped was bc I thought he had backed off this position. Trump, as you know, says that no Constitutional amendment is needed. A correct reading of the 14th amendment does NOT obligate the US to reward the babies of every FOREIGN INVADER who manages to breach our borders and give birth, citizenship. After a number of reputable Constitutional scholars agreed with Trump, it was my understanding that Cruz jumped on the bandwagon. If you are sure he STILL supports national suicide by Constitution, I’ll use that as my revised critique.
