So someone born here illegally of illegal immigrant parents would qualify to be President, but Cruz somehow wouldn’t?

No, because per the wording of the 14th amendment itself, for a child of immigrants to be born a natural born US citizen, they have to be "under the jurisdiction thereof" of the US government, meaning either that the parents are citizens or that the parents are here legally (abiding by our laws, and hence, under our jurisdiction).

We may now be allowing anchor babies, but that is actually totally illegal under the 14th amendment.

Well the understanding right now is that those “anchor babies” will be eligible to be President one day.

When these public debates come up, Christians and/or conservatives are still trying to discuss things with the left as though they just want to find the true and right answer.

They don’t!

And we have to act on that basis.

They are only interested in using whatever means necessary to establish secular humanism and make Biblical Christianity a footnote in history.

They only talk about rules when it suits them, and to hamstring Bible-believing Christians to play by them to their disadvantage, even when Christians aren’t breaking the rules, and otherwise they will break them themselves with impunity then accuse others of being the rule-breakers.

Planned Parenthood SELLING THE ORGANS OF BABIES THEY KILL but then shamelessly branding the people exposing them as the liars, hoaxers, and deceivers, and as inciting violence!

They think because Christianity has been mostly been erased in Europe and they are gaining ground here through simple unabashed lying, that it can and will be done here.

We can’t just let them do that.

INSIGHTFUL ANALYSIS DESERVES A REPEAT Cruz is a citizen but he CANNOT be considered a natural born citizen; he is a citizen by statute.

His birth in Canada indicates he has THREE countries (The US via his mother, Canada his birthplace, and Cuba thru his father) having a legitimate claim on his allegiance from birth, whether he wanted it or not.

Our constitution and the rule of law must prevail. We should not yield to the same dark impulses of expediency and delusion that gave us the tyrannical sociopathic usurper demagogue Obama.

Choosing candidates who are creatures of the cult of personality has proved disastrous.
