“Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where his parents, Eleanor Darragh and Rafael Cruz, were working in the oil business. His father, in 1957 during the Cuban Revolution, was a Cuban immigrant to the United States. His mother, an American, was reared in Delaware, in a family of Irish and Italian descent. Cruz's family returned the U.S. when he was four years old”

The Constitution? I didn't know anyone still believed in following that old piece of paper. [Actually, if Cruz is not natural born citizen, I would not vote for him. I just didn't know he was born in Canada.] Was his father a US citizen when Cruz was born?

Was his father a US citizen when Cruz was born?

His father didn’t become a US citizen until 2005 according to the following.

Cruz brags about how his Cuban father fought with rebels supporting Fidel Castro against dictator Fulgencio Batista in the 1950s, before Castro announced that he was a communist. Rafael Cruz fled the country and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin, then moved to Canada to work in the oil fields near Alberta, where Ted Cruz was born. The family eventually moved to Houston, and his father became a U.S. citizen in 2005.
