Ted Cruz is a natural born American citizen.
The birther argument has no legal leg to stand on.
But I am sure you Cruz birther kooks are going to keep repeating the same drivel.
Natural born citizens are born in this country to citizen parents.
They can only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Ted Cruz was born in Canada to a Cuban father and an American mother. He may have US citizenship, no one has seen any paperwork, but he is not a natural born citizen.
He was a Canadian citizen until very recently.
When did his parents file for his US citizenship?
“Ted Cruz is a natural born American citizen.”
The word, ‘natural’, infers that a person or thing is innately of a certain character or kind. By its very ‘nature’, it can’t be anything but what it appears to be.
In the case of citizenship, one who is born in country to two citizen parents of that country, can be described as ‘natural born’, as there is no possibility of that person being anything BUT a citizen of the country of their birth.
In the case of Ted Cruz, the circumstances of his birth on Canadian soil to to parents who were citizens of foreign countries, clouds his claim to natural citizenship of either Canada, Cuba, or America.
It simply can’t be claimed, with any sense of honesty or integrty to simple logic, that he is a ‘natural born citizen’ of any country, as any of the three can lay claim to his allegiance.
I trust that Ted is a legal U.S. citizen, but so are millions of foreign born people in this country. None of them are NBC, and neither is Ted Cruz.
