So in your opinion is Cruz a natural born citizen or a statutory citizen?

The current thinking is that if a person is born a citizen either by jus soli (the law of place) or jus sanguinis (the law of blood) then he is natural born.

I have never heard the term statutory citizen.

A citizen by virtue of statute...like the child of an adult alien (male or female) and a US citizen (male or female) being granted citizenship through laws established by Congress under Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4.
