Uh, really? Somehow I missed the fact of his foreign birth
during the 2012 presidential race.
From The Dallas Morning News report:
Birthers anyone?
Not a word about the renewed debate on the Senator's Facebook page.
[Disclosure: I AM a dual. I achieved Irish citizenship a few years back. Three of my four grandparents were born there, and I did in in their honor. Then again, it is not likely I'll be running for president.]
From The Dallas Morning News report:
"The facts of my birth are straightforward: I was born in 1970 in Calgary, Canada. Because my mother was a U.S. citizen, born in Delaware, I was a U.S. citizen by birth,” Cruz said. “When I was a kid, my mom told me that I could choose to claim Canadian citizenship if I wanted. I got my U.S. passport in high school.”
But legal experts in both countries consulted by The News noted that individuals don’t have the right to decide such matters: Nations and their laws dictate who is and isn’t a citizen.

Cruz' comments are fuzzy. Can he, or can he not, claim dual citizenship? What do U.S. and Canadian laws actually say?
ReplyDeleteEver notice how his face is rigid, like a porclain doll? He reminds me of Roy Rogers.
