With Cruz so far behind the national polls, he may be getting a little desperate here. Or he is trying to distract from his support of Obamatrade and legal status for illegals. Either way the courts can decide Rafael’s (aka Ted) legal status.
OK, I need to go check my emails to see if Heidi sent me another demand for cash.
I think the point was that you didn't seem to understand what the phase meant.
.
He was born a US citizen in Canada.
Its easy to see that you have wet your pants for nothing.
Thanks and yes.. that was my point that too many do not know what the phrase means.
He’s a birther moron. Let him keep it up, LOL
“He was born a US citizen in Canada.”
Rafael was born in Canada? Uh oh, Trump may be on to something. Thanks for the info. Wow!
.
You need to check your sock drawer, to see if that is where you left your brain.
.
Why do we get so many just plain stupid noobs here lately?
This issue should be cut & dry - is Cruz a natural born citizen of the U.S. or not? Anyone care to answer? Thank you.
LOL. “Ten, twenty, one hundred, whatever you can afford!”
Im knew you would whine. Ted attacked first. Trump is going to counterpunch. Too bad, so sad.
There is no question that Trump is a natural born citizen!
Neither had a US Citizen father at the time of birth.
Barry's never was, and the father of Rafael did become a US Citizen 35 years later.
We don't know where Barry was born.
He is a US citizen by operation of law. Man’s law, not Natural Law.
“Trump added: “I’d hate to see something like that get in his way.”
I really don’t like the sound of that. It’s too much like mobsters when they say: “you got a nice little place over here. It would be a shame if anything happened to it.”
He was born to US Citizens with the age and time in country to provide citizen ship at birth (Natural born)
The issue for BHO was (to those that read the relevant law at the time) that under the law his US Citizen mother could not pass on citizenship to him to age and time in USA so the location of his birth became paramount to provide citizenship at birth
1952 THE “IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT OF 1952â€: The Congress amends U.S.
citizenship transmission and retention requirements once again. For citizens married
abroad to an alien, the prior “physical presence in the United States requirement†is
changed to ten years, five of which after the age of fourteen. Nineteen year old Americans
married to aliens can now transmit U.S. citizenship to their children born abroad. The
“citizenship retention criteria†for children born abroad to a U,S, citizen and an alien parent
is now changed to a requirement to come to the United States prior to age twenty-three,
and remain physically present for a continuous five years period before attaining the age of
twenty-eight. Otherwise citizenship will expire at mid-night on the 23rd birthday. The
language of this new legislation is as follows:
• “Section 301. (a) The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States
at birth:
• “(1) a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof;
• “(7) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its
outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of
the United States, who prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in
the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totalling not
less than ten years, at least five of which were after attaining the age of fourteen
years.
• (b) Any person who is a national and citizen of the United States at birth under
paragraph (7) of subsection (a), shall lose his nationality and citizenship unless he
shall come to the United States prior to attaining the age of twenty-three years and
shall immediately following any such coming be continuously physically present in
the United State(s) for at least five years: Provided, That such physical presence
follows the attainment of the age of fourteen years and precedes the age of twentyeight
years.
• (c) Subsection (b) shall apply to a person born abroad subsequent to May 24,
1934: Provided, however, That nothing contained in this subsection shall be
construed to alter or affect the citizenship of any person born abroad subsequent
to May 24, 1934, who, prior to the effective date of this Act, has taken up a
residence in the United States before attaining the age of sixteen years, and
thereafter, whether before or after the effective date of this Act, complies or shall
comply with the residence requirements for retention of citizenship specified in
subsections (g) and (h) of section 201 of the Nationality Act of 1940, as amended.”
(66 Stat. 163, 235, 8 U.S. Code Section 1401 (b), June 27, 1952.)
But, but, but...
Cruz is a Dominionist!
(Gasp! Where’s my fainting couch?)
ok
How did Cruz attack Trump?
Still the best reply on this thread....
“He should ask Trump to unveil what Trump found on Obama in 2010, not bring up his own natural born citizen issue.”
