Is Ted Cruz a Cuban citizen?

It's a legitimate question, and I'm asking it. We know that Rafael "Ted" Cruz is ineligible to be President, but is he a foreign terrorist?

Foreign-born Rafael Cruz has already acknowledged his divided allegiance arising from his birth abroad and his loyalty to a foreign monarch. Rafael Cruz was born under the protection of the very same person who once reigned over Pakistan, where Osama bin Laden lived in comfort and planned attacks on America.

But I have discovered something else; an even darker, more disturbing dimension to this sordid and un-American story of lies and illegal immigration. What concerns me is the MSM's silence and refusal to investigate Rafael Cruz's shady Cuban past. Rafael Cruz is apparently so proud of his father being Cuban that he features it on his website. Of course, Vattel tells us:

The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent . . . I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.

There is therefore no question that, under the Law of Nations as known to the framers, and for American constitutional purposes, Rafael Cruz is a true natural-born citizen of Cuba, his father's country.

I think it is also very likely that Rafael Cruz is a natural-born citizen of Cuba under Cuban law. Rafael Cruz was born abroad to foreign parents in 1970. Both the Cuban Constitution of 1940 and the Fundamental Law of 1959 provide that:

ART. 11. Cuban citizenship is acquired by birth or by naturalization.

ART. 12. Cubans by birth are:

1st. All those born in the territory of the Republic with the exception of the children of aliens who may at the time be in the service of their Government.

2nd. Those born in foreign territory, of Cuban father or mother, by the sole act of their becoming inhabitants of Cuba.

3rd. Those having been born outside the territory of the Republic, of father or mother who were natives of Cuba, but who may have lost this nationality, who reclaim Cuban citizenship in the form and subject to the conditions stipulated by law.

3rd. Those having been born outside the territory of the Republic, of father or mother who were natives of Cuba, but who may have lost this nationality, who reclaim Cuban citizenship in the form and subject to the conditions stipulated by law.

Even if we accept the unsupported assertion that "Ted" (false name) Cruz has not reclaimed his Cuban citizenship, the 3rd item is troublesome. Cruz does not dispute that he was born to a Cuban citizen (his father), and claims that he was born outside of the territory of the Republic of Cuba. I don't think he has proven that, but even if we accept that he was born in Canada, Cruz has not demonstrated that he has not reclaimed his Cuban citizenship in the form and subject to the conditions stipulated by law. There is therefore no real dispute that Cruz is a natural born Cuban under both American and Cuban law.

Why hasn't Cruz done this? He could put everyone's mind at ease if he would just prove that he is not a Cuban citizen. It shouldn't be hard at all. Why is nobody asking these questions?

I think it's very likely that Rafael Cruz is a natural-born citizen of communist Cuba, born less than a decade after Cuba threatened to draw the United States into a nuclear war.

In 1983, Ronald Reagan said of Cuba:

there is strong evidence that Castro officials are involved in the drug trade, peddling drugs like criminals, profiting on the misery of the addicted. I would like to take this opportunity to call on the Castro regime for an accounting.

I think we deserve to know whether the junior Senator from Texas is a Castro operative. What is he trying to hide? Like Ronald Reagan before me, I would like to take this opportunity to call on Rafael Cruz for an accounting.
