Lawrence Sellin, Ph.D. a retired colonel with 29 years of experience in the US Army Reserve, argues that Senator Ted Cruz entered the United States illegally as a child in 1974. His parents failed to file a CRBA form which is required by US law. Ted’s parents did not fill out the required form until 1986.

All Cruz has to do to put this to rest is release his Consular Report of Birth Abroad.
That he has not done so speaks for itself.
HOWEVER, his supporters are rock solid in their support. They will not educate themselves on this issue, and they will attack anyone who tries to bring it up.
I can see why Cruz’s supporters are sticking with him. This nation is doomed unless we turn back to God. Cruz is the candidate running as the most “Christian” candidate.
I still think our nation is doomed unless we turn back to God, but I now support Trump. They are not mutually exclusive.
No. That is the point. You are putting a very petty issue ahead of SERIOUS issues, and you need to stop doing it.
We no longer have the luxury to worry about minor transgressions because we are facing SERIOUS constitutional transgressions.
Freedom of speech is under assault. Every other day I see another example of Liberal imposed speech censorship, and you are going to worry about a procedural issue?
Stop. Just stop. You can't see the forest because you are focused on a small tree. We need to worry about the stuff that's going to fall on us. That little article II tree isn't going to hurt us.
Oh my gosh you people are nuts.
She was divorced from her first husband when Ted was born. She didn’t take her maiden name back. The birth certificate asked what her name was before marriage. She didn’t realize it meant her maiden name. She thought he meant her name before she married Ted’s father.

It means the reservist Col jas no knowledge of the law.

That little Article II tree is sitting in the White House RIGHT NOW and you think it is irrelevant? Each and EVERY item in the constitution is extremely important, but I find it hard to believe that the eligibility of the President and commander in chief of our Armies is not as important as freedom of speech. They are ALL important and I will NOT bend to the continued destruction of the ONE thing that sets us apart as a nation.The Constitution of the united States of America is the Law of the Land. It is to be obeyed!
It's more about citizenship lacking considerations towards "naturalization" any language to that effect being found from within the dissent, and that consideration (naturalized? or no?) not being among the reasonings included from within majority opinion.
The majority made no mention of concept of naturalization be applied to Bellei in Rogers v Bellei when that concept was otherwise discussed. Instead, what was talked about was his citizenship from birth -- which Bellei did indeed lose -- for reason of not complying with the residency conditions which Congress, the Court found are allowed to require under the Constitution.
Bellei was challenging the constitutionality of the codes (the laws) which were applicable to him. It was decided by the majority that the laws were indeed "constitutional".
A citizen born within the confines of the United States of parents who are citizens can lose that citizenship under certain conditions, those conditions being contingent upon the deliberate actions of the citizen thus born to officially renounce that citizenship.
That there was by Act of Congress conditions placed upon children born abroad of citizen parents makes those children no less citizens, thus stating that they be not "natural born" because of Congress's constitutionally supplied power to stipulate conditions of residency must be met in order to not lose citizenship acquired at birth, does not equate with being not "natural born" citizen.
Ted’s mother’s birth certificate was never the issue.
The issue has always been the Consular Report of Birth Abroad that HAD to be filed in order for Cruz to be a U.S. citizen at birth. For him to be a U.S. citizen at birth that form was required under the law as it existed at the time of his birth.
The existence of his mother’s birth certificate is not in doubt. But the Consular Report of Birth Abroad has never been released. This whole issue would go away if it was.
I understand why you support Cruz. But you should educate yourself before you accuse people of being weak minded.
The 14th amendment has absolutely no bearing on this issue. Yes, shut up.
Yeah, you got a purdy mouth.
Nice try but I don’t buy it!

Thank you, EternalHope.
Are you saying the babymomma ran off to Canada with the Cuban while still married to an American? Is it possible that the Cuban is not Cruz’s father, or that she’s a bigamist?
- - - - - - -
Do we have PICTURES of both possible babydaddys ?
We can figure out for ourselves ?
Of course you don’t “buy” it because it’s the truth and makes sense.
You Trump supporters are’t much into making sense and the truth.
You're calling me nuts, and simultaneously "channeling" the internal thinking processes of his mother?
Maybe to try to make things clear for dolts like you. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to have helped.
