His parents were born in Cuba and left when Castro took over. Rubio was born in the US about 10 yrs later. They say he’s not eligible because his parents weren’t born in the US.

IMO Rubio is more of an American than most of the other candidates, of either party. He loves America as someone who knows what makes America great.

No, you’re wrong. He is not eligible because his parents were not citizens when he was born. Therefore Rubio is NOT a Natural Born Citizen like Mr. obama is not either due to his father not being a citizen. Two wrongs do not make a right. Obama is not eligible and was wrongly elected and sworn in, that does not make it right for the Repubs to do the same thing. As a Citizen of this great country, I could never vote for a ticket that has Rubio or Jindel on it. I would vote for a third party or not vote at all.

No, his parents failed to become citizens until some 20 years later. If they'd become naturalized before he was born, he'd be eligible to run for POTUS. He's doing a fine job where he is, don't go messing it up.
