If Cruz's mother filed a Consular Report of Birth Abroad when he was born, then Cruz may have paperwork saying he was born a US citizen. However, if paperwork was done at a later date (say, when his family crossed the border so that they could live in the US), then I suppose he became a citizen later in life. Not natural born.

Cruz should show the paperwork.
It's basically the same thing many of us expected Obama to do. It shouldn't be hard.

The courts won’t entertain a suit about who is a native born citizen.

They will rule it has no standing.

The controversy surrounding Cruz is simply political theater.

The paperwork is not relevant. Only the fact that Ted Cruz acquired U.S. citizenship by the authority of the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952 that authorized Ted Cruz to be naturalized at birth, with or without documentation.

He showed the relevant “paperwork”: his birth certificate and his mother’s birth certificate. The first proved who is mother was, the second proved she was a citizen. Thus he was,automatically a citizen at birth by operation of law. The consular report is recommended by the law, but does not bring citizenship into existence. In the case of Sen. Cruz, birth did.
