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?

Maybe they were Cuban citizens at the time of Marco Rubio’s birth, maybe they were not. The only thing that matters is that Marco was born here, on US soil and thus, is subject to the jurisdiction thereof.

Marco's father died in September. He did not live to see his son elected Senator although things were looking good at the time of his passing.

Thank you Mario Rubio and may God Bless.

I lived in Miami from 1988-94. I attended some Brigade 2506 cookouts out off Krome twice with Cuban patriot pals. One of whom was killed reentering for saboteur work in 1991 or 1992. I don't agree...respectfully. Most of the originals are dying off or have passed away. The Jorge Mas Canosa generation. Great people. The Pre Marielitos...gone mostly. Their kids and grandkids are now Americanized thoroughly.

The Marielitos?...hell who knows they came with nothing. The old wave that came first left everything behind but the big players recovered long ago. Some may want to go back for business opportunities or what not but the old days of going back and getting back where they were are gone. I doubt even 10% would go back and claim Cuban citizenship. We have a close friend here who is a 32 year old Cuban descended gal...comely and sweet as all get out. Her grandparents came..we have talked about this. She looks at me and laughs as if I would wish to go back to Ulster or Wessex or even Huguenot France in the same context.

God bless them. I like the early Cubans...anyone names a street Ronald Reagan Blvd is ok with me.*

if they just don't annoy me with being pro-amnesty as a latin thing...average Canary Island or Spanish descended Cuban who came here in the 50s and 60s has much more in common with my Southern butt than some Mexican or Guatemalan illegal Spanish speaking or not..hell I speak Spanish too.

Cuba today is about as mulatto as the Dom Rep...the whites who had the m,ost to lose under communism and the means to leave mostly did except those who ascribed to the revolution

if Cuba reverts to freedom it will never be the same place...demographically it is now an AfroCaribbean nation where as once it was along with Argentina and Chile the nation with the highest concentration of European blood with prominent families going back 100s of years.
