Posted in: Can Japan say no to Trump? See in context
As a citizen of the United States of America with a worldview, I strongly oppose "America First" on mainly two grounds: 1. The arrogance of its precepts and 2. The geographically incorrect name. If anything, it should be labelled: "USA First". America is the name of the entire continent and is divided into four main section: North America (Canada, United States of America, Mexico), Central America (Guatemal, etc.), South America (Colombia, etc.) and the Caribbean (Cuba, etc.).

Regardless of whether one likes or dislikes Rafael (Ted) Edward Cruz, he is not eligible to serve as President of the United States of America(POTUS) because he was not born in the USA. He was born in Canada (his father was from Cuba and his mother from the USA) and became what is called a naturalized U.S. citizen. As a naturalized U.S. citizen, he is eligible to serve in the United States Senate.
