btw, Rafael Bienvenido Cruz says that he became a Canadian citizen while living in Canada for 8 years.
Only he did that in Canada, where Ted was born. His father went there after having earlier obtained political asylum in the U.S. when his student visa ran out. He then got a green card, he says, and married Ted's mother, an American citizen. The two of them moved to Canada to work in the oil industry.
There is no record of a marriage between Rafael and Eleanor in the state of Texas. Mother of his two daughters, Julia Anne Garza Cruz was born on Aug 22, 1939 in Hidalgo County, Texas. His daughters Miriam & Roxana were born in November of 1961 & 1962.
"I worked in Canada for eight years," Rafael Cruz says. "And while I was in Canada, I became a Canadian citizen."
He was back in Texas by April of 1975. The Daily Court Review reports on April 28, 1975 that Rafael B. Cruz started a new business named Explorer Seismic Services, 7637 Harwin #55, Houston, Tex 77036.
The elder Cruz says he renounced his Canadian citizenship when he finally became a U.S. citizen in 2005 48 years after leaving Cuba. Why did he take so long to do it?
"I don't know. I guess laziness, or I don't know," he says.
Peter Spiro, a legal expert on U.S. citizenship at Temple University, says Rafael Cruz followed "sort of a zigzag path to citizenship." Spiro says Cruz's multicountry odyssey did not follow traditional models for immigration.
