Ted Cruz Father was Illegal Entrant, Birthright Citizenship by Mary Cummins

Ted Cruz is speaking out in support of denying birthright citizenship to children of parents who were illegal entrants. Guess who was an illegal entrant? Ted Cruz' father Rafael Cruz. Rafael admitted he had a criminal past so he couldn't get a visa to come to the US from Cuba. He was arrested in 1957 for possession of a gun. He admitted to using forged documents to come to the US in a book and on video which I have. So did Rafael's sister. This means Rafael should be deported and Ted Cruz should lose citizenship. 

"Cruz’s father told NPR in an interview that posted online Thursday that he bribed a government official to stamp his passport so he could escape Cuba and enter the U.S. “A friend of the family, a lawyer friend of my father, basically bribed a Batista official to stamp my passport with an exit permit,” Rafael Cruz told NPR."

Rafael Cruz stated he was Rafael Cruz Diaz yet he used the name and birthday of Rafael Bienvenido Cruz to come to the US. I wrote about this in 2015 when Ted ran for President. The other guy's full name was Bienvenido Gregorio Cruz y Lara. That guy died in 2012.

I did extensive genealogical research into Ted Cruz at that same time. His mother may have lost her citizenship for a few reasons.

Here's another article about Rafael Cruz' sister getting caught with forged documents coming in from Cuba.  Rafael and Sonia told this story on video when Ted Cruz was running for President! Ted thought it made a great story about his father fleeing corrupt communist Cuba and coming to free America. Rafael the preacher did a speaking tour where he told this story over and over again. In that story Rafael supported Batista then later changed sides. Per himself he was arrested for opposing the regime. Later he applied for political asylum based on this story. People in Cuba stated he was arrested for gun possession and was a Batista supporter. Who knows.

Based on all of this Ted Cruz' father Rafael and his Aunt Sonia should be deported instantly. Their children should lose citizenship and be deported maybe to El Salvador or South Sudan. I've written a few more articles about this in the same blog, search "Cruz." The hypocrisy of Ted Cruz is beyond belief. 

FTR I don't actually want Cruz deported. I just want to show what a total hypocrite he is. I'm a Latina and was born in Los Angeles, California. My maternal family came here legally many years ago from Mexico. Both my parents were born in the US. My interest in the case was Latino genealogy. 

I was tipped off to this issue by this opinion piece by Steven Lubet the Williams Memorial Professor Emeritus at the Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law.

The mystery of Ted Cruz's father's name "Rafael Bienvenido Cruz" - Hint, that's probably not his real name

I've sent communications to Ted Cruz's campaign and office asking about his heritage. No response. I've researched his heritage as many others have done the same. Ted Cruz, his father Rafael Cruz have not responded to the requests for clarifications from anyone so far. I assume it's because the truth is exactly as I and many others have found it to be. Ted Cruz's father's real name is not "Rafael Bienvenido Cruz." His real name is "Rafael Cruz Diaz." I believe Rafael Cruz assumed the name of "Bienvenido Cruz" so he could get a visa and passport stamp to leave Cuba. Because Cruz Sr admitted he had a criminal history he would not have been able to get a visa to go to the US. People with criminal histories especially back then could not get a visa to enter the US.

The real Bienvenido Gregorio Cruz y Lara was born March 22, 1939 in Havana, Cuba. His first name is "Bienvenido." His middle name is "Gregorio." His last name anglicized is "Cruz y Lara." This name means his father's last name is Cruz. His mother's last name is Lara. Spanish names are different than English names. Here's an article about Spanish names.  As I'm Spanish and do ancestry research I'm all too familiar with this. You have to search multiple combinations, misspellings in order to find the correct records in English.

The only real record we have of Cruz Sr is his high school record from 1954. It states his name is "Rafael Cruz y Diaz." Some get rid of the "y" or add "de." He is 15 years old. I'll now translate the text to English to the best of my ability. It reads as follows top to bottom, "Republic of Cuba, Ministry of Education, Institute of Secondary Education of Matanzas (which is a county and city in Cuba). Director of the Institute of Secondary Education - High School - states (?) Rafael Cruz y Dias native of Matanzas 15 years of age and from (?) Matanzas and resident  at A... of East Lanto and 33 Plaza and you state: that desires to be registered in the official lesson/teaching that grants this degree in the fourth year (high school diploma?). Agriculture, waterculture (raising fish)." Matanzas is located on the coast in a bay 55 miles from Havana. Agriculture and fishing were/are the main business of that area.

Rafael Cruz Dias, Ted Cruz, Rafael Bienvenido Cruz, cuba, matanzas, havana, passport,visa, us, immigration, illegal immigrant, fake id
Cruz Sr's birth date is not on this record. The only records I find with the birth date of March 22, 1939 is for "Bienvenido Gregorio Cruz y Lara" Cuban passport number 12483 born in Havana, Cuba, visa issued April 27, 1960 admitted to US May 4, 1960. This person "Bienvenido Cruz" born 22 Mar 1939, died 31 Aug 2012 with a Florida SSN he received in (1974).

I believe Cruz Sr took the name of "Rafael Bienvenido Cruz" so he could get a fake passport to get out of Cuba. Cruz Jr admitted in his book his aunt Sophia got a fake passport to get out of Cuba. Sophia came here with the name "Sophia Lourdes Cruz." I believe the same name game took place as she admitted she had a criminal past and used a forged passport. With his criminal record in Cuba there was no way he'd ever get a visa. His real name as per his Cuban school records is "Rafael Cruz Diaz" or "Rafael Cruz y Diaz." I believe he used Bienvenido's name as Bienvenido was a male with last name "Cruz" born about the same time in Cuba. Cruz Sr was born in Matanzas, Cuba per his school record and people who knew him in Cuba. Bienvenido was born in Havana, Cuba. Rafael could easily tell the US embassy that his name just got mixed up somehow. I have the same problem with my long hyphenated last name i.e. Mary Katherine Cummins-Cobb. People cut my name off, only use one of my last names and not both or they run it together like one long last name. Most computers can't take a last name that long so it cuts off. The US Cuban embassy didn't exist from 1961 to 2015. It was just reopened. Maybe now they can dig up the docs.

Now if for some reason "Rafael Bienvenido Cruz" is Cruz Sr's real name with the birth date of March 22, 1939, that would mean he has a long criminal record in Miami, Florida for assault, weapons and drug dealing. That person's mugshots were up on mugshots.com
