Cruz was born a citizen of the US.
There is no more natural born than that.
And there is no one else in government that approaches Cruz’ loyalty to this country.
.
He was born a citizen of Canada.
We do not know when he or his parents filed the necessary paperwork for recognition as a US citizen.
Those records exist, why are they sealed?
No, actually he was born a Canadian, and unless his mother declared him to be a US citizen....(with a CRBA)....
He's STILL a Canadian!
(Oh wait, he renounced his Canadian citizenship, now what is he)
He was born a Canadian.
It took Ted nearly 1-1/2 years to clear up his Canadian citizenship when Texans discovered they had a Canadian-Texan Senator. This was no routine revocation of citizenship. He had his records and his parent’s records sealed. It was Breitbart News that interviewed Ted’s staff when Ted became ‘unavailable’ for comment with a straight answer. Steve Bannon and The Enquirer know all about Cruz.
And it doesn’t matter whether Eleanor or Rafael Cruz voted during the period that they were Canadian citizens. They were on the voting rolls because the Provincial Elections Supervisor of Alberta, Canada approved their placement on the voting roll as Canadian citizens. Eleanor and Rafael’s names were printed in the Calgary newspaper and publicly posted 60 days prior to each election.
They were interviewed at their home in Calgary, declared their Canadian citizenship, presented ID, confirmed their permanent address and respective occupation / status. After this interview process, the information was verified at the Provincial Elections Office. Eleanor and Rafael Cruz were placed on the voting rolls which consisted of 100% Canadian citizens eligible to vote (over age 18.)
One who is born in Canada to Canadian citizens (a Cuban-expat and an American expat) is a 100% natural born Canadian citizen.
Ted is once.....twice.......three times a Canadian.
There are thousands of people born around the world to an American mother or father and they will never be natural born citizens. Most will never apply for U.S. citizenship. Ted holds a Canadian birth certificate and it is not amendable to a USA certification.
And Rafael Cruz’s “story” from Cuba—>Miami-—>Texas-—>New Orleans-—>Texas-—> Europe-—>Canada-—>Texas raises issues which all come back to the circle of BUSH.
There is no more natural born than that.
Willful ignorance is hard to overcome. You don't know for a fact his mother was a citizen at the time of his birth, in fact you only have some vague statements that he didn't know he was a citizen of Canada.
Cruz was born in a foreign land to a foreign father. He is not even close to being a natural born Citizen.
The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.
