Senator Ted Cruz As American As Apple Pie!
Senator Ted Cruz as American as Apple Pie!
Senator Ted Cruz has never hidden the fact that he was born in Canada. But only now that there are rumors that he might make a bid for the Republican nomination for the highest office in the land, the presidency, the media is stirring doubt about his citizenship. Other known facts that he has not kept secret are that his mother was born in America and his father was born in Cuba.
Senator Cruz has come out with a statement that I am sharing with you so that we can rest assured that when the time comes for his bid to the presidency, there is no doubt about where he pledges allegiance, America! I am certain that Senator Cruz will proceed to fill out any paperwork necessary to ‘fix’ the situation of dual citizenship if necessary.
"Given the raft of stories today about my birth certificate, it must be a slow news day. The facts of my birth are straightforward: I was born in 1970 in Calgary, Canada. Because my mother was a U.S. citizen, born in Delaware, I was a U.S. citizen by birth. When I was a kid, my Mom told me that I could choose to claim Canadian citizenship if I wanted. I got my U.S. passport in high school.
Because I was a U.S. citizen at birth, because I left Calgary when I was 4 and have lived my entire life since then in the U.S., and because I have never taken affirmative steps to claim Canadian citizenship, I assumed that was the end of the matter. Now the Dallas Morning News says that I may technically have dual citizenship. Assuming that is true, then sure, I will renounce any Canadian citizenship. Nothing against Canada, but I'm an American by birth and as a U.S. Senator, I believe I should be only an American."

Cruz: 'I should be only an American,' will renounce Canadian citizenship under Canadian law, his birth on Canadian soil made him a natural-born Canadian. Under U.S. law, his mother’s citizenship made him a U.S. citizen from birth.
Both countries allow dual citizenship.
