Well since the borders were wide open between Canada and the USA back then it does not mean anything. I went into Canada in 1972 for a canoe trip in Ontario without doing anything but telling the border guards what I was doing there.

The real problem was that his mother did not file the CRBA when he was born. I would like to see all of the documents related to the filing of his citizenship. If Ted Cruz's had delayed two more years filing the CRBA his US citizenship would have been denied.

big ifs and butts don’t trump the fact that his parents did fill out the form... in 1986 per the article...

sheesh.

got anything of substance.

BS....We went every year for 50 years....I was 7 months pregnant in 1963 when three generations went.

My father produced his drivers license and spoke for all of us.

Where were you born? Why are you coming here? How long will you be here.

Occasionally, when my dad went with his brothers, in the 1940's, they had to empty the car.

On the way out of Canada...the one additional question was what we were bringing into the US.

False, His claim to US citizenship survives as long as he does. The only thing he had to do to keep it, was have 5 years of US presence between the ages of 14 and 28.

This actually makes sense that she filed it late. I couldn’t figure out how he could be a dual citizen with Canada if he had a CRBA filed at the time of birth. Since Canada did not allow dual citizenship at the time.

By 1976, Canada allowed dual citizenship. We know Ted had dual citizenship until a few years ago. So it makes sense that the CRBA was not requested until years later. Canada sent him the final renouncing paperwork of the citizenship conveyed at birth and Ted posted it, but not his CRBA or passport.

If the CRBA was requested much later, then he could be a dual citizen of the US and Canada, but he has been lying all this time. He had to know that he was a Canadian when getting his CRBA and his passport as a teenager. He has been claiming he didn’t know he was Canadian.

Cruz is not a natural born citizen.

He is hiding his CRBA and his passport for a reason.

Because she filed when he was 16 his Amrican mother got his CBRA, and if she had neglected to do so (maybe only prompted because he was taking a school trip abroad and needed a U.S. Passport) at 18 he would have no longer been eligible? Wow.

I wonder if Cruz will pull an Obama and forge a CRBA.
