Thanks, guys! Definitely worth tracking the video down to see what he actually said. This goes to the argument that Cruz surrounds himself with people that are anti-immigrant, like Steve King.

FWIW, here's the article in PDF, since there's a paywall.

The Nation's George Zornick: On 7/15/13, Ted Cruz Addressed An Anti-Immigration Rally Where Another Speaker Claimed Hispanic People Were Genetically Inferior To Americans. On July 15th, 2013, "Several hundred people gathered in Upper Senate Park to denounce immigration reform as a job-killer... Ken Crow, who used to be president of the Tea Party of America until he bungled logistics of a Sarah Palin speech and is now affiliated with Tea Party Community, got up and started talking about 'well-bred Americans.'... At minimum, Crow was making a crude nativist argument that people from other cultures have the heritage of a donkey, compared to our race-horse DNA. And, although he worked in a Martin Luther King reference, the 'breeding' talk made it pretty tempting to see this in racial terms as well...many important Republican politicians were present... Senator Ted Cruz [was] also on the roster.'" [The Nation, 7/15/13<http://www.thenation.com/article/ugly-opposition-immigration-reform-comes-back-capitol-hill/>]
