Cruz Not A Natural Citizen
 
Donald Trump and John McCain have both brought up the fact that Rafael Cruz, Jr. was born in Canada and not on USA soil. Although Rafael has been up front about this, it may be a drawn out court case to determine if he is eligible to be President.

The fact that Rafael Cruz Sr fought along side Fidel Castro, a Communist, may be a bigger problem for the younger Rafael.

Cruz' campaign is getting legal advice on both issues but it looks like an uphill battle for the son of the insurgent.

I'm sure that it won't really be a problem, unless the hypocrite liberals want to make it so. After all, Obama was elected and the only person that brought it up about him being Kenyan in the beginning was Hillary. But, the Republicans do need to thin the herd.

By the way, Trump didn't bring the issue up. It was the liberal media that made an issue of it and asked Trump what he thought about it.
They asked McCain about it too, and he merely said "it's worth looking into."

The media brings something up, by asking leading questions and then they try to make it look like an attack from the interviewee. I am sure that now that THEY have made an issue of it, it will become a big issue.

Both non issues. You need to read a bit longer than just the headlines. The media is trying to keep it in the news and make them issues. George Washington was an English soldier prior to becoming a revolutionary war one.

Dear Guest:
First, could you cite the authority that verifies that Rafael Cruz Sr fought along side Fidel Castro? ...because that is a huge game changer in itself

Secondly I believe the constitutional question of Ted Cruz's citizenship is of paramount importance because it keeps coming up election after election

Third If SCOTUS had settle this question perhaps there would have been more scrutiny of Obama's citizenship.

Fourth Obama got away with by dodging the issue and by doing so perhaps is setting future dicta on this issue. ...but we need settle law

Fifth the writings as they are now only states that a candidate has to be born of parents....

Sixth, however Ted Cruz was born in Canada to one American born parent and a father born in Cuban so what country is his origin Canada, Cuba, America?

Seventh: He did not give up his Canadian citizenship until 2014 and I find that very troubling.

I am a Republican and an undecided voter as yet but clearly I would not vote for Ted Cruz under these conditions

Normally, I would consider his being born in Canada an issue, but after Obama, not so much. I am not really concerned anyway, as Rubio is coming up in the polls and will probably get my vote. I have evaluated all the candidates and found that even though I am not totally enamored with him, Rubio appears to be the most viable choice. My opinion. Before everyone starts telling me all the negatives about him, I already know them. There is NO perfect candidate on either side, but he is currently my choice. And he is polled as the one that most easily beats Hillary.

Speaking of Hillary, she seems to be suffering/hiding some serious health issues. It looks like her past head injury is still causing her some problems. It has been reported that she is consistently dizzy, pale and clammy looking (worst than usual) and has to be supported behind the scenes to keep her from collapsing. Since my information source is not from a liberal media source, i won't attempt to link my sources. I really don't care whether or not some liberal discounts my comment. This is conversation, not testimony.

I do not doubt Cruz's patriotism at all. My reason for not voting for him has nothing to do with his being Canadian. It has to do with his getting along with his fellow Republicans. He is a true conservative, but he does not seem to have the statesmanship needed in my opinion. WE have the worst example of any president currently, that has no statesmanship whatsoever and we desperately need someone that can work to get congress back to working as a team again. The current socialists in the gov are dividing our country and need to neutralized. We need someone in there that might be able to do that diplomatically. Make fools like Reid and Pelosi go away or be silenced. They are damaging America as much as Obama. We had less racial tension and party divisiveness prior to this administration. We had American pride and less people inclined to stick their hands out for gov assistance. It has nothing to do with necessity, but more like addiction to freebies.

This is priceless....Its the liberals and the liberal media. LOL!!!!

Here is Ted Cruz's father saying that Obama should be sent back to Kenya

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w3yhHEtmvk

Now a poll that says only 29% of Republicans think Obama was born in the USA and yet 40% believe Ted Cruz was.

Shock Poll: Only 29% Of Republicans Said Obama Was Born In USA; 40% Said Cruz Born In USA - Birther Report

The liberals are NOT doing this its Trump just doing his thing.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...1de_story.html

BTW there are reports that Cruz's mother had become a Canadian citizen before Ted's birth if that is true.....Game Over!!!

Blame it on the liberals........:22yikes:

It's hard to keep straight face lying all the time. Adding cigar poking bill to the campaign will only intensify her problems. Heck he's probably got box handy on the campaign trail.

As for Cruz his background more credible than obamas. Obamas affiliations with rev. Wright and Bill the unibommer Ayers pretty much sows up his hatred for America. Don't tell me wrights hateful rhetoric for years didn't plant seed in the Obamas pea brains IMO

And wasn't Obama father muslin and born in Africa? So what's your point? I bet the liberal democrat rage didn't push that storyline?

Guest 01-08-2016 09:26 AM

I don't have a problem with Cruz running for president. I do have a problem with the fact that on the Mexican border they are anchor babies and on the Canadian border, they are still US citizens. Both borders should have the same law.

Guest 01-08-2016 01:08 PM

So, Rafael Cruz Jr. is a Canadian anchor baby. :22yikes:

Who cares?

Guest 01-08-2016 03:04 PM

Illegals jumping the Rio Grande into the U.S.A. are not citizens either, but you liberals want to give them drivers license, social security, health care, and allow them to vote. So, what's the big deal?

Guest 01-14-2016 06:20 AM

8 U.S. Code § 1401 - Nationals and citizens of United States at birth

According to this, Cruz is considered a Natural born citizen.
