I've cited fact:

Ted Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, December 22, 1970, to a US citizen mother and a Cuban citizen father.

And law:

Canadian Citizenship Act, R.S.C. 1970, c. C-19, s. 5(1,3)
8 U.S.C. § 1401(g)

What specifically do you dispute?

Find NBC for me.
And don’t quote some bizarre letter from the 1800’s.

A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) of the INA provided the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth.

The law you are citing reads:

8 USC § 1401 - Nationals and citizens of United States at birth
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1401
