Nobody will be able to successfully argue that Cruz is not a natural born citizen.
Obama was born in Kenya not Hawaii. His birth certificate is faulty and there is a lot of evidence suggesting he was born in Kenya. Don't buy into liberal shills

This.


Couldn't rep you again, Pedro.


I laughed at the Obama birthers, and I'll laugh at the Cruz birthers. They are cut from the same cloth.

There's also evidence Rafa was born in Cuba. His dad was friends with Castro.

Whatever. He should get in front of it one way or another before it snowballs and causes him trouble down the line.

One of his father's dreams, no doubt.

It seems to be unsettled. There is a moving line on who is or isn't "natural born" so we need a supreme court decision or a constitutional amendment to pin it down. There are arguments either way but the constitution leaves us guessing. When George Romney was trying to gain the GOP nomination decades ago the issue surfaced for a while because he was born in Mexico but it faded away once he lost the nomination to Nixon. Also, John McCain was actually born in Panama on a military base. Since Cruz was born in Canada and his parents were apparently registered voters there we are left wondering. It would be nice to get this put to bed one way or another.

Silly birthers. Years of dealing with such cretins has taught me it's pointless to lead them to facts because they have absolutely no interest in them. All that's left is to point and laugh.
