Elian a normal schoolboy

Surprisingly unharmed by his stint as an illegal alien.

Cuba scares me to death, it is truly a Communist and terrorist country, dealing drugs, involved in every dastardly thing Fidel can get into and trying their best to chum us up big time, Fidel needs to go.

"I just can't condone keeping a young child from his only living parent for political reasons."

You obviously define the freedom as a political reason.

I don't.

You see, I hold certain truths to be self-evident, among them is that men, all men, are created equal, and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, and that among those rights are life, LIBERTY, and the pursuit of happiness.

I believe that with every fiber in my body, and I also believe than when people are faced with a choice like we had with Elian Gonzalez, to choose desecrating his God-given, unalienable right to Liberty is not only sacrilegious, but the equivalent to defecating on the American dream.

I fought to protect Elian's unalienable right to freedom, on the other side, and fighting against me were Fidel Castro, Bill Clinton, and Janet Reno.

Pick a side.

When exactly was Elian Gonzalez an illegal alien?

Does anyone think his brother, I think his name is Raoul, will take over?

Never, to the best of my knowledge once his feet hit US soil he was legal.

The only interests addressed were those of Bill and Janet's true love, Fidel.

SPECULATION ON MY PART:

Fidel didn't release the KGB pictures of clinton's visit to Moscow while he was dodging the draft and supposedly at Oxford.

Given cliton's known proclivities, I can't help but wonder who or what he was boinking for the hidden cameras...

Go down to posts # 73 and 74 on this thread. Solid speculation there.

When he was present without entry documents.

Bzzzzt! Wrong answer!

Cuba is special. Once a Cuban gets feet on dry land in the USA, they are here legally.

I thought there was a wet foot dry foot law made especially for Cubans fleeing from communism if a refugee makes land without being sent back he becomes a citizen basically.
