Cruz was born a dual citizen. Canadian by place of birth and U.S. by reason of his mother’s citizenship. He was not also born a Cuban citizen, as Cuba - like most authoritarian countries - does not condone dual citizenship. But, I like your colorful language. Mongrel.
Ivanka Trump, a beautiful young woman, born to an American father of German and Scottish descent (hence already a mongrel), was further mongrelized by having a mother who was from the Czech Republic. The same could be said of Baron Trump, a boy who looks so much like his father. But, mongrelized by reason of his already mongrel father and his Slovenian mother.
Human beings, unlike dogs, have citizenship. While humans have ancestries, and these are meaningful, our loyalties can be based on decisions. Dogs were domesticated and bred by humans, over many generations, from their wolf ancestors. Mongrel dogs, we would suspect, become more like their ancestor wolves, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Men and wolf hunter teams survived in the challenging conditions of the Ice Age in the northern regions of the Eurasian landmass.
We humans, on the other hand, are descendants of Adam and Eve, who were themselves fully human. The evidence we have of the most primitive humans indicates that they fashioned tools, counted, expressed themselves in art, adorned themselves in jewelry, braided their hair, and engaged in religious worship. In spreading themselves across the world, those who had skin pigmentation and other traits conducive to survival locally were the ones who survived to reproductive age and, so, procreated the next generation. But, all these traits were in the original genetic mix of our common ancestors.
“But, I like your colorful language. Mongrel”
Sorry, but I am American 100% on both sides, with ancestors tracing back to the Revolution on both sides. Both grandfathers were naturalized immigrants. I was born to 100% American citizen parent’s on US soil. I am a Natural Born Citizen as are almost all US citizens. I’ll bet even you are! Being a NBC is no great onus on potential
Presidential Candidates, but it is an important one. Look at what happened when we ignored that requirement....we got barracked.....
Your use of “mongrel” is curious. My use in the analogy concerned CITIZENSHIP, your use concerned ANCESTURY. By your usage we are ALL “Mongrels” as we descend from immigrants to this land at some point in our families’ history. To your mind none can therefore be NBC. Your logic lacks credibility. Note the difference between a Cuban father and a Naturalized American father of Cuban birth. One has NBC children the other doesn’t. “ born of a country to parents are its Citizens.” See Minor V Happersett USSC. Further note that those parent’s citizenship may be either born or naturalized.
Don’t deal with analogies well do you?
Doesn’t make a difference if Cuba recognizes dual citizenship. They’ll have discounted his American mother and recognized ONLY his Cuban father’s citizenship. To them Cruz is 100% Cuban so what was your point?
What really matters, what you avoid, is that Cruz has parentage other than totally American which is the Article II standard and the only place it matters in American Society/Law. He is ineligible under Article II. If he is the great Constitutional lawyer he is touted as, he knows that, but chooses to ignore it. Cruz, by that very fact, is a knowing fraud. No doubt about it. (Except you can’t see it, nor the nose on your own face!)
Dogs do not descend from wolves as you assert. If you let dogs breed indiscriminately their offspring will revert, after a few short generations, to the ancestral form of a yellow animal of about 35 lbs. Hardly wolf-like. Closer to the African Wild Dogs. Think about that and the spread of Homo Sapiens over the earth from their origin in Africa....
No dogs don’t have national citizenship, they have Kennel Club registered Pedigrees....Cruz doesn’t have that Pedigree. Per Article II, which sets the RESTRICTIVE requirements for being President, he is ineligible for the Office. No Westminster Show for him. No BIS!
Your view of Human history is curious. What about Neanderthals? They are separate and distinct species from Modern Man. DNA tests reveal that there is traces of Neanderthal genes mixed in those of some Modern Men. There are examples readily available. Even here!
Your analysis seems to stem partly from transcribed mid east sheep herder’s stories rather than from scientific fact. GOD gave us a BRAIN! .......USE Yours.
Yes, yes selective breeding, just like pedigreed dogs, and the NBC requirement.......The topic of this thread and Cruz’s lack of........
