Cruz was born in Matanzas, Cuba, in 1939. His father, Rafael Cruz, was a salesman for RCA, originally from the Canary Islands, Spain. His mother Laudelina Diaz was a teacher.〔(【引用サイトリンク】The Rise of Rafael Cruz )〕〔(A Time for Truth: Reigniting the Promise of America By Ted Cruz. )〕
Although his Cuban contemporary peers dispute his account of his history, Cruz states he joined the Cuban revolution at 14-years-old and he "suffered beatings and imprisonment for protesting the oppressive regime"〔(4 Rising stars from the Democratic, Republican conventions ), Christian Post, Napp Nazworth, September 10, 2012.

〕 Cruz has stated in interviews that he fled Cuba at age 18 in 1957, after an attorney for the family bribed a Batista official to grant an exit permit.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=How Ted Cruz's Father Shaped His Views On Immigration )〕 According to Cruz, he left with $100 sewn into his underwear, before the Battle of Santa Clara, in which the revolution toppled Batista on January 1, 1959. A Cuban émigré, he knew little or no English,〔(How Ted Cruz's dad, Rafael, became a GOP rock star ), ''D Magazine'', Michael J. Mooney, January 2014. Retrieved 22 November 2015.〕 when he arrived in Austin,〔 to study at the University of Texas. During interviews and on the campaign trail, Cruz' son Ted recalls his father telling him he worked his way through college as a dishwasher, making 50 cents an hour. Cruz graduated from the university with a degree in mathematics.〔 A few years later he became a staunch critic of Castro after "the rebel leader took control and began seizing private property and suppressing dissent."〔 Cruz recounts that his younger sister fought against the new regime in the counter-revolution and was consequently tortured. He remained regretful for his early support of Castro, and expressed his remorse to his son on numerous occasions.〔〔
