No, he’s a citizen. There are rumors his mother wasn’t a US citizen when Cruz was born, but that’s BS. I believe Cruz will produce a CRBA sometime before the SC primary. That means he’s a citizen, not to a metaphysical certainty, but c’mon, close enough to say “fer sure.”
The father claims to have become a Canadian citizen. We don’t know when this occurred. This is never discussed and is kept secret. The campaign claims that the mother arrived in Canada in 1967 and would not have been eligible to become a Canadian citizen prior to the 1970 birth of “Ted”. This a half-truth. She, as the wife of a Canadian citizen, may have been granted Canadian citizenship if she resided in Canada for 12 of the 18 months prior to the application. When the father become a Canadian citizen has a bearing on whether or not the mother may have been eligible to become a Canadian citizen prior to the birth. The fact is we don’t know whether she became a Canadian citizen or not. Why would the father become a Canadian citizen and not the mother?
He can help himself by refraining from half-truths and by being forthright.
Have we learned nothing from Obama’s sacking of the Presidency?
