Where did you ever hear Cruz claim his father was a Cuban refugee? In his speeches, he tells his family’s story, and it is not the one you are telling. We have followed the career path of this outstanding young man and have nothing but admiration for what he has accomplished with his intellect and courage.
I call into question your slander of his good name.

It was in the very text that was posted in this thread. I saw him on tv during his acceptance speech, and he introduced his father as an escapee from Cuba who had been tortured. I could tell by the way he said it that the story was fishy - so I looked it up and found a newspaper article from about six months ago that had interview material with Cruz about this specific issue, and he was cornered and had to tell the complete story. His father was a domestic terrorist in Cuba.
