3. Who is this "Senator Ted Cruz?"

Never heard of him.

I am familiar with a Senator Rafael Edward Cruz, born Dec 22, 1970, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada to a Cuban father and American mother. I'm not aware of anyone having checked his mother's background to ensure she was an American citizen when Rafael was born.

Besides, being a citizen because you were born abroad to at least one American citizen parent sounds to me like "birthright citizenship."

Has anyone seen Rafael's birth certificate? Or his mother's? Sounds like this needs to be investigated.
