Ironically, Tony now wants to invite all of Mexico in, but he wouldn’t let one little boy have his chance at freedom.
Maybe it's not ironic. By US law Elian was here legally and conversely, as well as redundantly said, illegal aliens aren't. Snow has consistency here in supporting willful violations of the law as government policy.
“By US law Elian was here legally”
Not quite. Elian’s inner tube was picked up in open waters not far from Florida’s shores. Our law (for Cubans specifically)say you can legally assume asylum only if you make it to shore.
That’s the law then and the law now.
Tony Snow is still inconsistent with his past advocacy of returning Elian to Cuba, but promoting illegal Mexicans ‘amnesty’ today. He fell for all that schmaltzy “The boy needs to be with his father” crapola when the father himself telephoned Miami relatives to raise Elian.
I appreciate your reply, but you’re not going to win any Elian arguments with me (check my handle). The Elian debacle is one of the cruelest tragedies ever hoisted by this nation. Clinton and Reno sent this poor boy back to a life of communism, and Tony Snow lent his words to the same effect.
