In Regards To Naturalized Citizens ...

According to Wikipedia's bio of Donald Trump, his wife Melania Knauss, though born in Slovenia became a 'naturalized citizen' in 2006 after marrying The Donald. But according to Trump, Ted Cruz is NOT a' naturalized citizen' though he was born to an American mother and lived most of his life in the states? What's wrong with this picture??? Below are 2 excerpts from Wikipedia about Trump and Cruz that address the 'naturalized citizenship' issues:

"In 1998, Trump began a relationship with Slovenian-born fashion model, Melania Knauss.[305][306] They became engaged in April 2004[307] and were married on January 22, 2005 at Bethesda-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, on the island of Palm Beach, Florida, followed by a reception at Trump's Mar-A-Lago estate.[308][309][310] In 2006, Melania became a naturalized U.S. citizen. "

"Ted Cruz was born on December 22, 1970,[4][5] at Foothills Provincial General Hospital[6][7] in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, to parents Eleanor Elizabeth (Darragh) Wilson and Rafael Bienvenido Cruz.[8][9][10] At the time of his birth, Cruz's parents had lived in Calgary for three years and were working in the oil business as owners of a seismic-data processing firm for oil drilling.[9][11][12][13][14] Cruz has said, “I’m the son of two mathematicians/computer programmers.”[15] The family lived in Calgary's St. Andrews Heights neighborhood and later the affluent Elbow Park neighborhood[6] until his father suddenly abandoned the family and moved to Texas in 1974.[16] Cruz and his mother moved into a townhouse complex in the southeast suburbs of Calgary, and were residing there when later in 1974 Cruz's father, who had joined a Baptist Bible study, reconciled with Cruz's mother and the family relocated to Houston.[6]"

"Rafael Cruz was born in Cuba, and his father was from the Canary Islands in Spain. Ted Cruz's mother was born in Wilmington, Delaware, and is of three quarters Irish and one quarter Italian ancestry.[17][18] His father left Cuba in 1957 to attend the University of Texas at Austin and obtained political asylum in the United States after his four-year student visa expired.[19] Rafael Cruz earned Canadian citizenship in 1973[6] and ultimately became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2005.[9][20][21][22] His mother earned an undergraduate degree in mathematics from Rice University in the 1950s.[23] Eleanor and Rafael Cruz divorced in 1997."

Nothing like the pot calling the kettle black!
