Why is no one bothered that Ted Cruz was born in Canada?

Ted Cruz was born in December of 1970 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The country of one's birth was an important and contentious topic a few years ago. President Obama faced ferocious claims and opposition over the supposition that he was born in Kenya. There was a mad debate about his legitimacy over a birth certificate. People espoused the rationale that a foreign national was unfit to be President. Ted Cruz is a foreign national, yet this hypothesis goes untested against him. The question I therefore ask is how do we respond to this hypocrisy in a creative way that condemns no one and benefits everyone?
