There is NO Chance that his father was a Canadian citizen. You people lie

Obviously you're just too damned lazy to check out facts!

After Cruz graduated from the University of Texas in 1961, he was granted political asylum in the United States following the expiration of his student visa.[1] He became a Canadian citizen during his residence in Canada, returning to the United States with his family in the mid-'70s. Eleanor and Rafael Cruz divorced in 1997.[33] He renounced his Canadian citizenship and in 2005 became a naturalized U.S. citizen.[1][36]Rafael Bienvenido Cruz Bio

Yeah, and kudo’s to Cruz’s dad!

A real American patriot who loves this country and has been speaking out against the Left for years!

Unlike Donald Small Hands.

In an interview, Cruz’s dad said he worked in Canada for eight years. The family left Canada in 1974 - so he must have moved there in 1967-1968. Ted’s mom moved to Canada in 1969.

At that time, Canada required that you had to be a resident for five years before you could become a citizen. Ted was born in 1970. At the time of his birth, Ted’s dad was still a Cuban citizen, and his mom a U.S. citizen.
