“Anyone of German lineage can make a claim to German citizenship.”

You are mistaken. It was not German citizenship at birth for descendants of German ancestors. It was a very limited right of return and entitlement to naturalize as a German citizen for certain limited classes of German descendants affected by certain treaties concerning refugees and displaced persons. The right of return did not confer German citizenship at birth.

Yes Ted Cruz is a NBC. I’m so sick and tired of people saying he is not a NBC with absolutely no basis, only there idiotic opinion of what they think a NBC should be, not what a NBC really is. So stupid.

If you look more carefully, it is also based on a Nazi law which has never been rescinded. Indeed, the right is limited but not only to the Volga Germans et al. from the east. To be sure, it would not at all be easy for an American, say, to establish a claim, but the right exists if only residually. Blood does count.
