Ted Cruz is Canadian [View all]

Cruz’s official Canadian birth certificate, as posted by the Dallas Morning News, shows that Rafael Edward Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, on December 22, 1970. Oddly, however, the birth was not registered until December 31, leaving an unexplained gap of nine days. But where was baby Ted over Christmas, an astute birther might ask. Donald Trump could build a casino in a hole that size.

His mother would have to go to the American Embassy and file for his American citizenship. Where are those papers?

I think, I hope, the original OP was spoofing the idiocy of the birther's amazing abilities tavalon Mar 2015 #10

Yes, the reason for the OP was to poke fun at the lack of integrity of the birther movement UCmeNdc Mar 2015 #18

2 is wrong. jeff47 Mar 2015 #23

Main question is why his father never became a US citizen until 2005.... Historic NY Mar 2015 #29

actually having one US citizen as a parent DOES automatically make one a US citizen onenote Mar 2015 #39

But it says "natural born", not just "citizen". Darb Mar 2015 #50

The question then becomes a simple one. Igel Mar 2015 #58

Oh, come on, there is going to be nothing fun on our side tavalon Mar 2015 #15

You are incorrect whopis01 Mar 2015 #9

If the mother lived outside of the US for too long this may be a issue awake Mar 2015 #14

That doesn't change the error about having to register at the embassy whopis01 Mar 2015 #20

That residency requirement is the key difference between Cruz and Obama. Jim Lane Mar 2015 #34

The newest question now becomes this: It is Tuesday Mar 2015 #61

No, that's not how the five-year requirement worked. Jim Lane Mar 2015 #64

Ted Cruz is a Republican DFW Mar 2015 #41

His mother was an American citizen, he is a citizen no matter where he was born. Sunlei Mar 2015 #42

Did Cruz use some of that great Canadian Health Care? UCmeNdc Mar 2015 #43

I don't know. He stated he did not know he still had the Canadian citizenship (canadian benefits) Sunlei Mar 2015 #44

Ted Cruz signed up for Obama Care. UCmeNdc Mar 2015 #59

I'm really not inclined to doubt Cruz on that Sen. Walter Sobchak Mar 2015 #63

I agree. As long as he didn't use the citizenship he probably was oblivious to the issue. Sunlei Mar 2015 #65

Sure he is a citizen. He is not "natural born" and he was not a citizen Darb Mar 2015 #51

fuck. I really dislike this stupid shit. cali Mar 2015 #45

I love it. Darb Mar 2015 #52
