His father was a Cuban who fled to America. He was working in Canada, so he became a Canadian. Cruz was born there and his mother — Eleanor Elizabeth Darragh Wilson — was living there at the time. Although being married to other non-citizens and living abroad, she never renounced her citizenship. But, yes, she was still a citizen, so, yes, Cruz is, too.
In the same way if you married someone from Russia, lived in Australia for several years, and had a kid, your kid is a U.S. citizen.
