Only took him 42 years.
What's going to be fun is watching the Birther-Teatards twist themselves into knots over this. Unlike Barack Obama, Cruz was born in another country. Like Obama, Cruz's father was not an American , but his mother is.
Here is the other tell about the Birthers: They like to consistently refer to Obama by his full name: Barack Hussein Obama. But they alway call Cruz by his middle name and not his full name: Rafael Edward Cruz.
If you measure Cruz by the yardstick that the Birthers have constructed for Obama, Cruz isn't eligible to run for President. But you won't hear diddlely-squat from the Birthers about this.
Whether it is an indicator of partisanship or racism (or both), I'll leave to you.

Updated again to add: Cruz arguably is also a Cuban citizen, for the same reason that he claims to be an American citizen.

Substitute "and" for "or" in your last sentence, and you may be more accurate. Racism in the service of partisanship has always been a hallmark of teabaggery.
EB - - You're right, they do and will have a problem.
Hope he knows that he's opting out of a perfectly good healthcare system, eh ?
Like I said elsewhere: "The Canadian Usurper," Oh the Hilarity !!
Wow, I hope I don't have to use it... but if necessary, I'll be typing "Canadian Usurper" every single day.
And "the Canadian Usurper" is now a blog post label.
