As Cruz took the lead in Iowa before its February 1 caucuses, Trump’s glare followed.
Trump challenged Cruz’s eligibility, saying Saturday night Cruz would be a target for Democrats if he got elected.
“We don’t have any system that knocks on the doors of every person in America”, Cruz told Tapper.
Cruz was asked about the issue by an attendee during a Townhall meeting in Mason City. On Sunday, he said the law was straightforward.

Now he says he’s against it. He used to be for a 200 percent increases in green cards, doubling them; now he says he wants none. “I want to win fair and square”.
And the Texas senator rejects Trump’s claim that his positions on ethanol are based on donations from the oil industry, despite that most of his super PAC’s anchor donors have made their money in the sector.
