While it is true that Rafael Cruz, Jr. was born in Canada, his mother was a US citizen at the time of his birth. As long as a parent is a citizen, the baby gets status as a natural born citizen.
Why does he use Ted instead of being proud of his given name of Rafael?
Simple - the reactionary Tea Party does not go for those foreign names. You have to suck up to them so you go by an American nickname and renounce your family heritage.
