IF you are a Birther, you are DE FACTO an outright RACIST.

There is no getting around this basic FACT.

ANYBODY who claims Barack Obama was not born in the United States despite evidence BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT to the contrary is simply saying "birth certificate" instead of spouting horrible racially based derogatory terms.

These people are simply pissed off that they cannot call the president the "N word" without being called out on their blatant racism so they are attempting to cover up that blatant racism with a bogus tale of a wild conspiracy to have a little baby grow up to be president.

to prove they were born in the US. How do I know if Rubio or Fiorino were born in the US if they don't produce birth certificates?

There is no question that he was born in Canada, and I don't understand how he can be running for President. I always learned in school that you have to be born in the US to become President. The US could include a military base overseas. But neither of those things apply to Cruz.

His mother was a US citizen residing in Canada at the time. He automatically is a US citizen when born to a US citizen abroad.

There are two types of US citizens, natural born and naturalized. As Cruz was a citizen at birth, there was never a reason for him to become a naturalized citizen (like his father became).

US citizen at birth = natural born citizen.

One of the most dismaying experiences I had was finding out that someone I thought was a close friend believed in that birther bullshit.

I have never seen her the same since.
