Donald Trump Says Ted Cruz 'Was a Canadian Citizen Up Until 15 Months Ago'
People ^ | 01/16/15 | Adam Carlson

Donald Trump, never one to mince words, is saying, "I told you so" on Saturday after news broke that a Texas lawyer was challenging Ted Cruz's eligibility to be president, on the grounds of his Canadian birth.

"Ted Cruz was born in Canada and was a Canadian citizen until 15 months ago. Lawsuits have just been filed with more to follow. I told you so," Trump tweeted Saturday morning.

That kicked off a string of seven Cruz-centric messages, including references to a New York Times report that Cruz, 45, forgot to disclose a Goldman Sachs loan while he was running for the Senate in 2012.

Link?

I said "evidently". But it seems a safe assumption since, to my knowledge, nobody has ever questioned Cruz's credentials as an American citizen-at-birth.

Do you have any information as to the contrary?

I’ve seen no evidence either way.

You made an assertion, which you now admit was merely an assumption, so we’ll just have to leave it at that.

Although, I do find it odd that Cruz’s mom used her previous married name, Wilson, on Ted’s birth documents. I also find it strange that apparently her name appeared on election documents in Canada. And the apparent lack of public production of the documents his mother should have filed with the American consulate at his birth raises my eyebrows a bit as well.

It’s a legitimate question as to whether his mom expatriated herself at any time during her many years in England and Canada.

Has anyone seen the marriage certificate between Ted’s parents?

When exactly when they were married anyway? Somehow that information has escaped my notice.

These things matter greatly in terms of the granting of citizenship according to our immigration and naturalization laws.

I looked it up. Apparently, they were married in 1969.

I’m told by someone with a lot of expertise in these matters that at that time Canadian citizenship could be gained in as little as one year, if you were marrying a Canadian. Otherwise it was five years.

So, she could have been a Canadian by the time Ted was born, it would seem.

The other question that is apparent is what about the divorce documents for both of his parents? If they weren’t legally divorced, their marriage in ‘69 could not have been legal.

These are nothing more than obvious questions that I’m sure lots of people have to be asking.

Those documents - the divorce documents, the marriage documents, any documents filed with the U.S. consulate - should be produced. It’s only right and fair to the American people.

Well, that’s interesting... I had not known that.
