Ted Cruz: The Dallas Morning News

The Dallas Morning News: The Texas Republican and tea party favourite announced his plans Monday night in a statement. The move comes in the wake of a report by The Dallas Morning News that Cruz holds dual U.S. and Canadian citizenship, according to The Star. The 42-year-old gave a copy of the document to The Dallas Morning News, which posted a picture of it online Monday. It shows Cruzs birth in Calgary, Alberta, on Dec. 22, 1970, while listing his mother, Eleanor Elizabeth Wilson, as having been born in Delaware and his father, Rafael Bienvenido Cruz, as a native of Cuba and AUSTIN, TEXAS U.S. Senator Ted Cruz said Monday that he will renounce his Canadian citizenship. Cruz released his birth certificate amid concerns that being born in Canada could derail a possible presidential run by the tea party firebrand. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
