“Under the Immigration and Naturalization Act at the time of Cruz’s birth, Cruz had a right to U.S. Citizenship. “
Sorry, there, jack, he was a natural born citizen that needed to take no further action to be a US citizen.

Uhhhh — No
He didn’t become an American citizen until his mother filed the necessary papers with the U.S. embassy in Canada according to the law.

You should report the birth of a child abroad (outside the United States) to establish US citizenship. The birth of a child abroad (or overseas) to a U.S. citizen parent(s) should be reported as soon as possible to the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate to establish an official record of the child’s claim to U.S. citizenship at birth. The official record is a Consular Report of Birth of a Citizen of the United States of America, or Form FS-240. This document, known as the Consular Report of Birth Abroad, is a basic United States citizenship document.
No, he was an artificial born citizen, because it required an artificial, manmade, statutory law to make him a U.S. citizen, if and only if the U.S. Embassy or Consulate determined the residency requirements of the statutory law permitted the AUA.S. citizenship. A natural born citizen has no statute of law and no residency requirements because the person is by nature only a U.S. citizen and no other at birth. It is the literal difference between something which is inherently natural by its physical existence versus the manmade and there fore artificial existence of the thing or the status as a member of the society. Compare to the natural born woman versus the artificial and legal transgendered woman. Just as there is a natural woman versus an artificial womn, you also have the natural born citizen and the artificial born citizen.
