Where's the birth certificate of Ted Cruz's MOTHER? [View all]
I googled both "Eleanor Elizabeth Wilson" and "Eleanor Elizabeth Wilson Darragh," went three pages deep on each name, and nothing offering proof she was born in Delaware. Plus, on both searches, the first entry was this article by Steven Lubet at Salon, excerpted below:
Cruzs official Canadian birth certificate, as posted by the Dallas Morning News, shows that Rafael Edward Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, on December 22, 1970. Oddly, however, the birth was not registered until December 31, leaving an unexplained gap of nine days. But where was baby Ted over Christmas, an astute birther might ask. Donald Trump could build a casino in a hole that size.
Still, the birth certificate does state that Cruzs mother, Eleanor Elizabeth Wilson, was born in Wilmington, Delaware. As Cruz has often said, that made him a U.S. citizen at birth, and therefore eligible to be president
but only if the birth certificate is accurate. The Canadian officials would have had no reason to question Cruzs mother about her native country, nor would they have demanded any proof. Her word alone was good enough for Canadian purposes. Why would they care about the babys future qualification for the U.S. presidency?
Which brings us or rather, which ought to bring the birthers to the documents Cruz has not produced. Where, for example, is the Consular Report of Birth Abroad, which Cruzs parents could have obtained at the U.S. consulate in Calgary? That would at least establish their intention to register him as an American citizen while they were living in Canada. For that matter, where is Eleanor Wilsons own birth certificate? I mean, anyone can claim to have been born in Delaware, and everyone (including this dual citizen of the United States and Canada) knows that Canadians are too polite to ask tough questions. Birthers will have no such qualms. Will they require documentary proof?

Of course, Lubet naively assumes that Cruz will get the same treatment by Trump and Taitz and a million other idiots that Barack (OH MY GOD HE'S BLACK!) Obama did, which we all know is not gonna happen.
But the question remains: Where is Wilson/Darragh's birth certificate? Where was
she born?
