Yes, I too would like to know.

I think he has more concern over his wife, a former Miami Dolphins cheerleader. Not that there is anything wrong with that. But I can already hear the criticisms and crass comments sure to come concerning his wife and the mother of his children. Liberals are sick people.

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” 14th Amendment.

Rubio was born in the US, he’s a US citizen. End of story.

[Texas56]

He was born in Miami in 1971.

[cynwoody]

Rubio was born on 28 May 1971 in Miami, FL. US territory, I do believe. That makes him eligible.

[samantha]

He is not Mark Rubio, he is Marco Rubio, and is a Citizen.

[Nosterrex]

I would think that Rubio’s parents would want to return to Cuba. Most Cuban exiles do. If you are worried about Rubio’s citizenship, he was born on American soil, and that makes him a citizen. Does it make any difference whether or not his parents wanted to return to Cuba?

[dalebert]

I think he has a bc to prove where he was born.

[Texas Fossil]

His parents were like this, in my book they are Americans.

note— One of the best reads I have ever found. Excellent.

Marco Rubio's parents no doubt became US citizens like their fellow emigres did. Special provisions eased the citizenship process for Cuban emigres and they took them up with enthusiasm.

You may want to get the man's name right.

Here's a link to his acceptance speech:

There is no pat answer no matter how many of you wish it were so.

Barry's problem is that he can't even get to the point about arguing if he was natural born as his birth certificate has more variations than Lady Gaga has wardrobe changes. And the only people that claim to have seen his birth certificate and CERTIFIED IT were Pelosi and Reid. Ya, no conflict there.

And now Rubio is on the chopping block. Kid hasn't even served a day in the Senate and some are already harping that he can't be president.

The interesting thing about Rubio is that he's Cuban (and why don't I recall this argument when Mel Martinez became senator? It's quite funny how much Rubio strikes fear into the hearts of liberals)and Cuban emigres are treated far differently than economic refugees that flood the US from the Southwest.

Technically, they can't be illegal aliens. They are pretty much granted resident status the moment their feet touch US soil.

And the worst thing of all for the anti-Rubio bunch is that it really can't be argued that he or his parents were ever subject to the laws or or owed allegiance to Cuba after arriving in the US.

How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

[NittanyLion]

Perhaps this escaped you, but his name happens to be Marco - not Mark. But I’m sure that’s just an innocent mistake.

[hoosiermama]

Looks like a few need to be educated.

[melancholy]

Ping................
Now, it’s Marco Rubio’s turn!!

Will the media start hitting Rubio hard on eligibility to prevent him from ever becoming President? If they do, what about 0b0z0?

Very interesting.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Wow....the dems must really fear Marco Rubio. This is a non issue if I ever heard one.

[jdirt]

1. Who wants him to be president?

2. He is for amnesty.

[eleni121]

Mark Rubio??? Who is that? Nothing of what you post makes any sense until you get that fixed.

While you’re at correcting—it’s Marco Rubio’s parents - not Mark Rubios parents.

Get to it.

[Minus_The_Bear]

Doesn’t matter... I won’t ever vote for Rubio.
