Lawrence Sellin, Ph.D. a retired colonel with 29 years of experience in the US Army Reserve, argues that Senator Ted Cruz entered the United States illegally as a child in 1974. His parents failed to file a CRBA form which is required by US law. Ted’s parents did not fill out the required form until 1986.

That some people will do and say anything to keep a conservative out of the White House.
Excellent point.
In my opinion, all illegal aliens are criminals, even if they haven’t been apprehended and charged for the myriad of crimes they must commit daily to further their illegal presence, ie., fake documents, illegally working, etc.
Here’s the CRBA for those interested:
Obama has a foreign national father, not eligible.He was born on American soil to an American mother. Many have tried but it's never been proven otherwise.
She appears to be living, based on what I can find online. But she is not in the political limelight, which I will respect.
I thought you had Cruz’s CRBA here.
I remember traveling as a kid with my family to Canada back in the 70's. I was probably 10 or 12 years old. The Canadian Border check consisted of the border agent asking my Dad a question about the nature of our business in Canada and that was it. No papers. No names. No nothing. Off we went with 20 kilos of hash stuffed in the trunk. (I'm joking about the last bit, BTW.)
There must be a CBRA of some sort, assuming he traveled to England in high school on a US (rather than Canadian) passport.
“Go globalist elites Go! Death to America!” /sarcasm
The idea that he had to nullify his Canadian Citizenship should make your head spin.
“The significance of this report will be made clear in tonight’s debate.
Trump will not mention it at all.
“
It’s already out there, and saying “Dur, this is stooopid” isn’t a point.
Because the Democrats aren’t going to be shammed into ignoring it because Cruz groupies would rather not talk about it.
No, farther up the thread I said we needed Sheriff Joe Arpaio to get Cruz’s CBRA.
More anti-Hispanic wacism.
I would think a consular report of birth abroad would settle the issue. CRBA is not an application, but an after the fact recording.
I’m not sure what could convince all (probably nothing), but the issue is being used to damage his campaign. I do not know of any certain remedy.
[[When a child is born to US citizens, that child is automatically a US citizen, even if the child is born outside the country and remains outside the US. However, in order to adopt all the rights of US citizenship - such as a passport - a family must claim the US citizenship. The child is already considered a US citizen in most cases, but the citizenship must be confirmed and made official before the child can claim any rights of citizenship.]]
Rooster- Do you know if a child born in the US to two us citizen parents (both NBC or native born parents) need to show a birth certificate to apply for a passport?
The reason I ask is because the main argument of birthers is that because someone born off soil must provide proof of citizenship (crba) in order to get a passport proves they ‘aren’t citizens until this act or proving citizenship by showing a birth cirtificate is completed’ or something along those lines-
So if his mother did apply, albeit late, he did get his passport so it looks as though there were no problems.
“More scummy, lowest-common-denominator mudslinging from Trump people.”
That’s nice.
Now can you explain why that makes this a lie or unimportant?
I know it may not rank high on Cruz’s supporters list like saying “pussy”, but I think this may need to be dealt with a bit more seriously.
Good point - and good question.
Not if his parents or he ever satisfied the US government that the circumstances of his birth met the statutory requirements. The OP says this was done in 1986. Between 1974 and 1986 the government could have challenged his citizenship, and the same answer would obtain - if his mother met the residency requirement precedent to the birth, and if she was still a US citizen, and if she and her husband were married, then the conditions of 301(a)(7) (IIRC, that is the statutory reference to the 1952 act in force in 1970) were met, then Ted is found to be a US citizen, from 1970.
