We currently have a Kenyan citizen sitting in the Whitehut. Dual Canadian-US citizenship doesn’t sound so bad. :-)
My nephew and great nephew were both born in Germany as his father is deployed for the US Military...In no way has anyone ever questioned their citizenship nor should they. Just because a parent happens to be out of the country on business when a child is born, does NOT disqualify them for citizenship. What should disqualify them is when they live outside of our country, take on foreign lifestyles adversant to our beliefs and does not align to the US values (like our current President), THAT is a HUGE problem. With Cruz, we have a guy who LOVES AMERICA and will FIGHT FOR HER and PROTECT HER INTERESTS FIRST and FOREMOST. THAT is what a President’s ROLE NEEDS TO BE!
“Dual Canadian-US citizenship doesn’t sound so bad.”
So what happens in the future when someone who was born in China to an American and who spent their childhood in China comes of age and decides to run for President? Is that acceptable?
Not to me.
With all of the millions of Republicans in the USA is it too much to ask that we can find at least ONE who was born in the USA to be President?
Ted Cruz may well be the best thing to happen to the GOP since Abraham Lincoln but the precedent that he’d set by becoming President is just too dangerous to me.
This will come back to bite us in the a$$ just like George Bush’s Patriot Act has.
