My opinion of Cruz is this: I think Trump wanted him for his V.P. but Cruz told him he had birth issues, Trump gave him time to fix them, but Cruz sealed everything up...
I don’t think Cruz’s mother was a U.S. Citizen at the time that Cruz was born in Canada, I think she have up her U.S. Citizenship and figured they would live in Canada...then when the dad left, she came back to Texas...at that time when Cruz was born, Canada did not have ‘dual citizenship’ as they do now, and I think that is why Cruz doesn’t let his mother out on his campaign and that is what he has sealed up...he isn’t a citizen of either country, he gave up his citizenship to Canada in 2014, so he is a person with no citizenship to either Canada or the U.S. and I think Texas should look into this, he is a Senator of the U.S., but there again, in California they have illegal immigrants in one town running...
I have heard that Cruz has sealed some documents.
IF true, why would that be necessary?
“I don’t think Cruz’s mother was a U.S. Citizen at the time that Cruz was born in Canada, I think she have up her U.S. Citizenship and figured they would live in Canada.”
Do you have any evidence of this? She would have had to:
(1) appear in person before a U.S. consular or diplomatic officer, in a foreign country (normally at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate); and
(2) sign an oath of renunciation
If she renounced her U.S. citizenship, there would be records on file at the U.S. Embassy in Canada and at the U.S. Department of State, and an “enterprising” opponent of Cruz most likely would have uncovered them by now.
I suspect Cruz’ Mom was unmarried when she had Ted in Canada. Under U.S. law an unmarried woman giving birth in a foreign country, the child is automatically an American citizen by statute (that was all covered when Obummer was running.) (The child born thus, is not natural born, though...that is why Obummer keeps claiming he was born in Hawaii...so he can sneak in under the “natural born” issue.) I have no trouble with the fact Ted is an American citizen...but wonder if his mother had the foresight to have him declared so by registering the birth with the American Consulate in Canada. Ted has questions to answer in this regard as it may affect his Senate position IMO.
Then there’s the fact Cruz lied about not knowing he was Canadian. Seriously? Did he not get his drivers license at 16? Does he not have a passport? Did he not hear stories from mommy and daddy about where he was born? Does he not have a family photo album? Did he not have to fill out any college applications or apply for scholarships that ask for his place of birth? Nothing on the bar exam? He didn’t notice his Wiki page states he was born in Calgory, Canada? Wasn’t that question asked on his RNC form? At no time in his 45 years did he ever know until a few short months ago?
I - don’t - think - so.
Liar, liar, pants on fire.
