His mother was American and his father was, I believe, Cuban. Neither had Canadian citizenship. They happened to hatch him in the territory of Canada while his mom was working in Alberta, so he technically was Canadian until this all came out in 2014 or 2015 when he was running in the Republican primary and he renounced his citizenship. Unfortunately for you, he was a dual citizen thanks to his mother so you can't deport him back to us. Feel free to deport him into the Gulf of Mexico if you want, though.

Which is one of the dumbest parts since only people born in the US can be president lol.

Can we deport him to the homeland of his father? I'm guessing Cuba would have a few ideas about what should be done with Ted Cruz.
