Mark Steyn can never be President as he has allegiance to Canada.

I would love to hear him weigh in on this.
Cruz has never declared allegiance to Canada or Cuba, although those citizenship’s may have been conveyed upon him.
In the end isn’t it a question of allegiance?
It’s a question of where the man was born. He was born in Canada - the principle being that one’s citizenship cannot be stripped away by politics, etc, that citizenship is placed upon where one is born, not one’s political affiliation.
This is core to the American definition of citizenship. Canada shares this principle. One can earn Canadian and American citizenship, but once born with it - cannot lose it.
The point being that in being born in Canada - Cruz’s primary citizenship and nationality is Canadian. This will not change. His Father being a Cuban National and his Mother being American adds claims to American and Cuban citizenship, on top of his Canadian citizenship. Since the Father usually takes precidence - for his early years American was his third not his first nationality.
The problem isn’t so much Cruz - the problem is that this is a gate. There are considerable foreign interests that would love to control the United States. If they can do so by winning enough Democrat primaries, and getting the support of Democrats (either through outright hatred of America, etc, then America is going to fall under foreign control and domination.
With the situation at present - they have to be from America. It wouldn’t be enough to just bring someone here and then run them or for someone who’s never resided in America at all to run (and win), the presidency.
This is the slope. The first step has already been crossed. The next step is to get the opposition to concede on this principle. Then you attack age restrictions and residency requirements (does it really matter how long they lived in the US)? What counts as ‘living in the US’, and so on and so forth.
It’s coming. We are not far from it. We can either forestall it or we can push it along faster.
