I am embarrassed to admit that I did not know Rubio was an anchor baby until I read this article. This case puts two issues up for decision. Are anchor babies natural born citizens? And is someone born in another country to a U.S. citizen a natural born citizen? Rubio and Cruz are trying to get the case thrown out on a technicality before the judge can actually decide the issues.
A case challenging the eligibility of Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio to run for president will be heard in Broward County court at 11 a.m. Friday.
The crux of the case: the meaning of the phrase “natural born citizen” and how it applies to the two Republican senators. Rubio was born in Miami in 1971 to Cuban immigrants who became citizens a few years later. Cruz was born in Canada to a Cuban-born father and American mother, who moved to Texas when Cruz was four.
