whatever. he released it a long time ago.
Nope. All he has released is his CANADIAN birth certificate. All that proves is that he was born in Canada. I’m talking about his CRBA.
A Consular Report of Birth (CRBA) is evidence of United States citizenship, issued to a child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents who meet the requirements for transmitting citizenship under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

Canada didn’t allow dual citizenship until 1977. So how did he remain a Canadian citizen (if he was ALSO a US citizen) from his birth in *1970* until he renounced in 2014 ? That renunciation is proof that he was NOT a US citizen- UNLESS he had been naturalized in the interim between 1977 & 2014. If not naturalized, Cruz is not a US citizen even now.
Do you understand? Cruz renounced his Canadian citizenship in 2014- citizenship conferred on him by birth in 1970. Dual citizenship did not exist in Canada until 1977. Cruz would have been either a Canadian or a resident alien in Canada. He could not be both. Since he renounced Canadian citizenship, he could not have been a US citizen at the time of his birth- or via CRBA.
There would have been no Canadian citizenship to renounce if he were a US citizen.
Further, they moved to the US in 1974- 3 years before dial citizenship existed in Canada. He would have had to have been naturalized after 1977 for him to have dual citizenship.
I’m growing rather curious about his passport, too. Is it Canadian? Or US?
