then moved to Canada to work in the oil fields near Alberta, where Ted Cruz was born. The family eventually moved to Houston, and his father became a U.S. citizen in 2005.

So what nationality is Cruz?

This is a good question: What nationality is Ted Cruz?

Another: Why didn’t he support Gov. Perry? Is he brave enough to declare his choice for President?

So what nationality is Cruz?


Cruz was born and spend the first four years of his life in Calgary, Alberta, Canada before his parents returned to Houston, Texas. His father, after fighting for Fidel Castro in the Cuban Revolution and being jailed and tortured by the Batista regime,[25] moved to Austin in 1957 to study at the University of Texas. He spoke no English and had $100 sewn into his underwear.[26] The elder Cruz worked his way through school as a dishwasher making 50 cents an hour. Cruz’s mother, who was from Houston, was the first person in her family ever to go to college. She earned a math degree at Rice University in the 1950s, working summers at Foley’s and Shell. “I’m Cuban, Irish, and Italian, and yet somehow I ended up Southern Baptist.”[2] Cruz is married to Heidi Suzanne Cruz. They have two daughters, Caroline Camille and Catherine Christiane.
