That’s the question I am asking. Please note I did NOT say she HAD relinquished her citizenship, I asked the question WHY she was on the voter’s rolls and WHY Cruz’s records are SEALED and he has not given permission to open them to a Freedom of Information scrutiny.
My late husband was a permanent resident alien and he was not required to go back every year.
If Ted was naturalized, he is not a natural born citizen under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5. He claims to be an originalist, yet by the original Constitution which means as it was written, he is clearly not a natural born citizen.
We both want answers. Perhaps it lies in Ted’s records which are sealed. Only he knows.
Also rather disturbing, why did Cruz’s father wait until 2005 to become an American Citizen and why did Ted Cruz wait until 2014 to renounce his
Canadian citizenship?
yes, you were very precise in your question and it is appropriate and relevant to ask how she got on the vote rolls. maybe she became a citizen, but maybe not. but it’s relevant.
your experience with regards to permanent resident aliens comports with mine as well. it’s also consistent with a fact pattern that she was a US citizen, a Canadian citizen, and then a permanent resident alien.
when the original story came out about Cruz relinquishing his citizenship my thought was that as a lawyer, he was clearing this up, sort of belts and suspenders...not because he actually WAS a Canadian ciizen, but that because he was born there, he might technically be called a Canadian citizen. just sort of making sure. I didn’t think anything of it at the time, even though it was obvious he was running for prez.
but now I am wondering if Ted actually went through a naturalization process when he was like a tween or a teen.
if neither of his parents were citizens, and he was born out of the country, it seems that is possible.
And no one thinks that a naturalized citizen is natural born.....
Alas. This is all very sad. And it was very avoidable.
