Even so-called birthers who falsely believe that President Barack Obama was Kenyan born and not a legitimate U.S. citizen seem to think that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) wont have the same problem because Canada is not really foreign soil.
The Texas Tribune caught up with on of those birthers, Republican voter Christina Katok, at a tea party rally where Ted Cruz was speaking earlier this week.
Katok said that she never thought Obama met the constitutional standard of natural born citizen because, she reasoned incorrectly, that he was born in Kenya. The president was born in Hawaii and has released his birth certificate to prove it.
Earlier this week, Cruz released his Canadian birth certificate to The Dallas Morning News, proving that he was definitely born in a foreign country to an American mother.

(14,255 posts)But I would have loved to hear the explanation or, and I use the term loosely, the reasoning behind that statement. Because you know it is the whiteness, not the proximity.
