Based on current citizenship law, Cruz was born a citizen, therefore, he is a natural born citizen. Arguing over the meaning of natural born citizen at the time of the Constitution’s enactment is irrelevant since the Constitution puts naturalization in the hands of Congress.

Do you not see how ridiculous is your statement when you assert that someone is "natural born" through the "naturalization" power of congress?

No, it’s entirely logical since the Constitution gives congress the authority to “To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof. “

So, to rule on who needed to be naturalized, it was necessary to rule on who didn’t. Congress has ruled by law, it is the law currently in use, and we can complain til we’re blue in the face, but it is still the law that will be used.

Sec. 320. [8 U.S.C. 1431] (a) A child born outside of the United States automatically becomes a citizen of the United States when all of the following conditions have been fulfilled:

(1) At least one parent of the child is a citizen of the United States, whether by birth or naturalization.

(2) The child is under the age of eighteen years.

(3) The child is residing in the United States in the legal and physical custody of the citizen parent pursuant to a lawful admission for permanent residence.
