That’s only because he fit into a tiny niche in the law about children and dual citizenship.
Prior to 1977, Canada didn’t allow dual citizenship. Cruz was born in 1970.
And someone who’s been solid on FR for a decade longer than you says that Cruz is one of the good guys. The founder of this site has said that Cruz is one of the good guys. If you disagree, then maybe it’s time for you to slip over to DU.
I get so sick of these people. How many current Republican senators are more dependable than Ted Cruz? He’s one of Trump’s finest allies, yet all they do here is trash him. The campaign is over. Trump has let bygones be bygones far better than these soreheads.
Instead of flaming Cruz at ever chance, why don’t some of you spend as much time on the real problems like McCain, Graham, McConnell, and Cornyn!
That’s not entirely accurate. Exceptions for children. Cruz was an infwnt.
***Similarly children born in Canada to non-Canadian parents were not under any obligation to renounce a foreign citizenship they had acquired by descent. Holding a foreign passport did not in itself cause loss of Canadian citizenship.***
Hes been token supporting Trump to keep his job as Senator. Hes a proven Globalist and phoney:

Hes not backing Trump so much as trying to save his own job.
Bttt
Agreed.
His father was a Canadian, and so was Ted Cruz until 2014. Now, he's an illegal alien.

Including his own legal residency situation.
Could he be deported?
Surprisingly, his mother was one of his parents.
Hes not backing Trump so much as trying to save his own job.

Correct in that his primary will come up sometime in mid 2018.
He’ll spend time being visible to the public as the primary approaches.
All those children of US GI’s left behind in Viet Nam would have liked that to be true.
And you have nothing to support your position except infantile insults.
Cruz had no passport at the age of four right? Cause he traveled on his mothers. To the US. With no CRBA. He had to apply for a passport as a teen. A bit late to establish US citizenship, but whatever.
Here is the complete excerpt from the State Dept.
“The child’s parents may choose to apply for a U.S. passport for the child at the same time that they apply for a CRBA. Parents may also choose to apply only for a U.S. passport for the child. Like a CRBA, a full validity, unexpired U.S. passport is proof of U.S. citizenship.
Parents of a child born abroad to a U.S. citizen or citizens should apply for a CRBA and/or a U.S. passport for the child as soon as possible.”
If I may make a point - THE PARENTS HAVE TO APPLY. APPLY. As in fill out a form, provide supporting documents, pay the fee. From the State Dept; “If the U.S. embassy or consulate determines that the child acquired U.S. citizenship at birth, a consular officer will approve the CRBA application and the Department of State will issue a CRBA, also called a Form FS-240, in the child’s name.”
Hence - you are wrong.
Here is Ted speaking to the newspaper about renouncing his Canadian citizenship:
“By Aaron Blake August 19, 2013
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) announced Monday evening that he will renounce his Canadian citizenship, less than 24 hours after a newspaper pointed out that the Canadian-born senator likely maintains dual citizenship.
“Now the Dallas Morning News says that I may technically have dual citizenship,” Cruz said in a statement. “Assuming that is true, then sure, I will renounce any Canadian citizenship. Nothing against Canada, but I’m an American by birth and as a U.S. senator; I believe I should be only an American.”
Article at Washington Post
How can he renounce a citizenship that he never had?
It is true via the process for children out of wedlock. There has to be evidence.
Election’s over: Dems (Clinton & Sanders supporters) unite to defeat Trump, while Repubs (of all flavors) unite to defeat . . . Cruz. Brilliant. /s
