Trump Calls Cruz an ‘Anchor Baby’
Political Wire ^ | January 29, 2016 | Taegan Goddard

Posted on 01/29/2016 12:17:36 PM PST by TBP

Donald Trump again claimed that Sen. Ted Cruz may not be a U.S. citizen, The Guardian reports.

Said Trump: “He’s an anchor baby. Ted Cruz is an anchor baby in Canada, but Canada doesn’t accept anchor babies, they just waited a long time.”

He added: “I think that’s one of the reasons he’s a nervous wreck. Now they’re saying, I think, his career is over, right? How about this, he’s a citizen of Canada and he’s a senator from Texas?”

I agree. His “revenge” at the slightest criticism is beyond the pale. There are also the racist insinuations...Cruz is not “one of us” “Evangelical from Cuba” “anchor baby” and on and on...This stuff sounds like 1930’s Germany. I won’t vote for anyone who stoops to this level of trying to destroy someone personally.

I haven't proven anything. I only remarked on the anchor baby comment, and nothing more.

However, your question is a good one that I haven't heard before. Does Cruz also have Cuban citizenship descended to him by his father? The timing of Rafael Cruz' Canadian citizenship has not been disclosed.

The United States naturalization oath of allegiance big with "I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen;"

Canada's does not contain a renouncement of previous allegiance.

Did Cruz inherit Cuban citizenship via his father, American citizenship via his mother, and Canadian citizenship via the land?

Did Cruz have triple citizenship? How can one be a natural born of one country when having birthright claims from three different countries simultaneously?

Well done with that question!

The Constitution has a reference to person born overseas of at least one Cuban citizen, but the Constitution says you have to comply with the stipulations of law.

Cuba, being a communist country, is not happy with dual-U.S./Cuban citizens.

Dual Nationality: The Government of Cuba does not recognize the U.S. nationality of U.S. citizens who are born in Cuba or are the children of Cuban parents. These individuals will be treated solely as Cuban citizens and may be subject to a range of restrictions and obligations, including military service. The Cuban government may require Cuban-American citizens to enter and depart Cuba using a Cuban passport. Using a Cuban passport for this purpose does not jeopardize one’s U.S. citizenship; however, such persons must use their U.S. passports to enter and depart the United States. In some instances, dual nationals may be required to obtain exit permission from the Cuban government in order to return to the United States. There have been cases of Cuban-American dual nationals being forced by the Cuban government to surrender their U.S. passports. Despite these restrictions, Cuban-American dual nationals who fall ill may only be treated at hospitals for foreigners (except in emergencies). See the Consular Access paragraph below for information on Cuba’s denial of consular services to Cuban-American dual nationals who have been arrested, as well as the Children’s Issues paragraph below for information on how dual nationality may affect welfare inquiries and custody disputes.

>funny, isn’t it, that you thought a communist country would recognize a person to be a dual citizen by birth, but not a democratic country.

No, what I posted was that if Rafael Bienvenido Cruz wanted Rafael Edward Cruz to become a Cuban citizen, he would have to go through a Cuban legal procedure to accomplish that. It wasn't automatic. And since Rafael Edward Cruz was a legal Canadian citizen (at least up to 2014), that probably could have happened should they for some reason have desired it.

I doubt he will double cross the Clintons since they’ve been friends for decades.

Calling Cruz an anchor baby is “false data”

Cruz Sr. was a citizen of Cuba when Ted was born. Cruz senior became a naturalized citizen of Canada some time later (a year or three), and at that moment, Cruz Sr. lost his Cuban citizenship. Cuba flat out rejects dual citizenship, so naturalizing elsewhere cuts off his Cuban citizenship without a formal renunciation.

At birth, Ted was indeed a citizen of Cuba, just the same as he was a citizen of the US. He is not a NBC of any country, being of mixed heritage at birth (country, mother, and father none the same).

This has been discussed on FR for a couple weeks anyway.

A natural born citizen requires both parents to be US citizens, and their child be born on US soil. Trump is natural born, Cruz is NOT, and Cruz knows he is NOT!

I have no clue about Trump’s children’s.

Then you like Cruz are not following ‘original intent’ of the Constitution. Open borders is the agenda, and Cruz is demonstrating he is for open borders. Contrary to what he says in public.
