The way the definition of Natural Born Citizen is being watered down, Elian might have grown up to be president of the US if he hadn’t been sent back to Cuba.

I always had mixed feelings. He had a father who wanted him and that is where he went eventually.

The relatives here were a bunch of nuts...parading him around like a circus act.

But the goons showing up....There was absolutely no excuse for that.

That is one of the greatest shots in the history of photo-journalism.

This is a liberal litmus test.

You pass.

You are liberal.

Wasn’t politically expedient at the time.

Any way the wind blows...

Only in America, land of the free. Like Boston after the Boston Bombing and St. Louis after Katrina. The Constitution died under our watch.

I wonder if they even included him in the 12 Million Clinton deported.

Didn’t most polls at the time show that the American people had no sympathy to speak of for Elian?

No. Gore was running for POTUS and even he tried to disassociate himself from Clinton Administration on this one.

We were disgusted that he was being paraded around like a circus act. His relatives were nut cases.

Notice the Feds went to great lengths to “rescue” Elian meanwhile the Ffed did nothing to help rescue Americans in Libya fighting terrorists...

Didn’t mean to put the extra F in front of Fed but will leave it cause its somehow apporpiate!

Whatever mental condition his relatives where allegedly in there was still no excuse for ripping him away at gun point.

"As president that's exactly what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna enforce the law. We are going to deport those here illegally, secure the borders, and keep this country safe," he continued.

That must be what you're referring to, right?
