Cruz has to have an immigration file.
Children born abroad to Americans have to be recognized as Americans. there must have been forms filed.
We need to see what it says.
I assume he had an immigration file and it would have surfaced when he applied for a passport his senior year in HS.
However, during the 1970-80’s when Eleanor returned to the USA, a passport was not needed to travel to the USA from Canada. Her birth certificate would have sufficed for entry. At some point prior to Ted’s 18th birthday he should have applied for American citizenship and would have been eligible for a US passport.
I suppose these records explain why it took a year and a half to straighten up Ted’s Canadian records once it was discovered that he still held Canadian citizenship while he ran for the R nomination.
As a Canadian child he was entitled to free health care from birth and education in Canada. Certainly there were records that have been sealed in Canada.
Kenyans... Canadians... ... what difference does it make anymore./s
