We all know Republicans could never get away with handing themselves a voting block they would be screaming bloody murder about it, and they let the D's slide on this.

Cruz was indeed born in Calgary, Alberta in Canada and is therefore ineligible to run for President. I looked up his bio. Information on Senator Ted Cruz of Texas

I am neither republican or democrat but I love seeing a fair turnaround: I'll laugh my behind off if the democrats get the amnesty bill passed then the republicans get an Hispanic candidate like Cruz or Bush for the presidential race and the Hispanic voter demographic propels them into the white house.
Then I'll cry because we will still won't have a libertarian in the white house. lol

Half Hispanic would make him completely Hispanic.
The call Obama the first black president, and people who disagree with him as "racists", so same applys with all people of mixed heritage.
Aah..The Mecca of Liberalism. California that is. The better solution would be to seal off the borders first and then pass the immigration bill which would make sense both ways as it would cost a lot to deport them all. Better make them legal and collect taxes at the same time close the leakage across the borders (Canadian and Mexican side). How much does it take to build a border? If we can build a vast infrastructure of highways and bridges, whats a single border with electronic surveillance and/or built-in alarm system to it? The liberal lot wouldn't understand or doesnt want to frankly. Eitherway, its nothing more than a political tool at this point.

Some news organizations have taken a whack at answering this question as well. The Texas Tribune, for instance, said confidently in August 2012 that Cruz could be considered a natural-born citizen because his mother was a U.S. citizen. “Bottom line: Despite being born in Canada, Ted Cruz can be considered a natural-born U.S. citizen,” the Tribune wrote.
Harvard legal scholar Alan Dershowitz agreed. “Of course he’s eligible,” he told National Review. “He’s a natural-born, not a naturalized, citizen,” said Eugene Volokh, who’s a friend of Cruz.

She just basically said that Hispanic votes are more important than an American citizen's.

Yeah someone clearly missed the point as it was spelled out here:
Nancy Pelosi: House Republicans Will Pass Immigration Reform ‘If They Ever Want to Win a President
Pass immigration to GET VOTES.
In the 2012 presidential election, Republicans received only 27% of Hispanic votes—down from 40% only 12 years earlier. Fifty thousand Hispanics turn 18 and become eligible to vote every month. Republicans did even worse among Asians—now the largest group of immigrants every year—receiving only 26% of their votes.
Immigration is not the only issue on which Hispanics or Asians vote. But it is a gateway issue. Republicans have much in common with immigrants—beliefs in hard work, enterprise, family, education, patriotism and faith. But for their voice to penetrate the gateway, Republicans need to cease being the obstacle to immigration reform and instead point the way toward the solution.
