This is a fallacy of assumption. The lack of a "naturalization process" does not preclude a naturalization.
Young children of naturalized aliens do not have to go through any naturalization "process." They derive their citizenship from their naturalized parents.
When congress passes a law that naturalizes a certain category of children "at birth", they are not required to go through a process, but they are naturalized none the less.
If you bother to go look at the law, you will see that it says "naturalization" right in the section heading.
If he has NOT been naturalized, then there are only two possibilities - 1. He is considered, by law, a natural-born citizen or 2. He is an illegal alien.
The faulty assumption is that it requires a "process" to be naturalized. No, a process is not required. Look up the "naturalization act of 1790". None of those children went through a "process" either, but you would have to be either a fool or dishonest to say that they weren't naturalized.
The writer’s point is correct on this.
He's not within 100 miles of correct. He's not even knowledgeable enough to understand what an idiot he is for saying what he said. As Wolfgang Pauli said, He's "not even wrong."
I guess I have to tell you I am SHOCKED that with his billions of dollars that Donald Trump has not had Cruz removed from the ballot in any state. If this is such an obvious slam-dunk, why is he still on the ballot in all the states?
