In reply to the discussion: Ted Cruz is not a legal US citizen [View all]TheTruthBeKnown
(72 posts)64. The answer is in Cruz's own statement.
Cruz just renounced his Canadian citizenship (but not LEGALLY) so thats an admission his parents never filed. If they had he would not have to renounce his Canadian citizenship. Cruz would be a US citizen if they had filed the proper paperwork (FS240), etc. Cruz is NOT a dual citizen. Nor am I even though I was born in Canada. My situation is identical to Cruz's except I obeyed the law and I have a CERTIFICATE OF US CITIZENSHIP to prove it. Why would you think I need that document when Cruz does not?
Please put forth some effort to research facts before replying. Thank you. Have a great day.

Section 301(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act refutes the entire argument. He's a citizen.
