When a baby is born it has no legal citizenship until the birth is legally recorded. Cruz's father did not contact Cuba to record his birth so he was never a legal citizen there. Every birth must be recorded to be legal. A hospital in the US will bring papers to the parents to fill out so the birth can be recorded.
My grandson's birth papers were filled out at the hospital in London that day AND at the American Embassy that day.
I had two birth certificates in Texas. My parents filled out a birth form for me on the day I was born in Texas. Those papers were sent to the Texas Records division and it was wrong as the Texas recorder misspelled my first name given to me. When my parents got the birth certificate, they had to contact the records dept. to get a new form and refile it with the correct spelling.
I may be the only person on FR who had two birth certificates from the same state.
