Sen. Marco Rubio Fights Back Against Critics‘ Accusations That He Embellished His Family’s History

Marco Rubio Defends His Familys Immigration History

MIAMI, Florida (The Blaze/AP) — Florida’s freshman U.S. senator and rising GOP star Marco Rubio is fighting back against allegations he embellished his family‘s history in saying his parents fled Cuba after Fidel Castro’s communist revolution.

This comes after our earlier report that Rubio is under attack by birthers, who question his citizenship.

Rubio‘s Senate website says his parents came to America following Castro’s 1959 takeover, and he has always publicly identified with the exile community and called himself a son of exiles in campaign commercials. In turn he has maintained a strong and loyal political following within its Miami hub.

But reports Thursday by the St. Petersburg Times and The Washington Post revealed his parents emigrated to the U.S. in 1956, when Cuban dictator Fulgencia Batista was still in power and Fidel Castro had just been released from prison and exiled in Mexico.

Rubio’s father was a security guard at a small store when he and his wife left, according to Rubio’s staff, and came for economic reasons. Rubio, 40, was born in 1971 in the United States.

Rubio responded to the report with a statement saying his parents had tried to return to Cuba in March of 1961 in hopes that things were improving on the island post-revolution but quickly left because they did not want to live under communism.

“My parents are from Cuba. After arriving in the United States, they had always hoped to one day return to Cuba if things improved and traveled there several times,” he wrote. “In 1961, my mother and older siblings did in fact return to Cuba while my father stayed behind wrapping up the family’s matters in the U.S. After just a few weeks living there, she fully realized the true nature of the direction Castro was taking Cuba and returned to the United States one month later, never to return.”

Marco Rubio Defends His Familys Immigration HistoryRubio’s staff said they expected to update his Senate website to reflect the date his parents came to the United States.

The family’s effort to return came at a tumultuous time as the U.S. confrontation with Castro‘s Communists heated up and more than a thousand Cuban exiles from Miami were preparing for their doomed April 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion meant to topple Castro’s fledgling government.

As early as January of 1961, U.S. President John F. Kennedy warned in his State of the Union: “Communist agents seeking to exploit that region’s peaceful revolution of hope have established a base on Cuba, only 90 miles from our shores.”

“You got to remember over 80 percent of Cubans back then supported the revolution, not Fidel but the revolution. We had another dictatorship, Batista. So everyone thought the revolution was going to bring social change,” said Professor Andy Gomez, a senior fellow University of Miami’s Institute for Cuban & Cuban-American Studies.

The head of the Miami-based Cuban American National Foundation, Pepe Hernandez, himself an exile and longtime opponent of Castro, said the initial departure date was not important.

“There were a number of people who came here during the Batista regime because they were against Batista somehow,” he said. “Then they returned to Cuba when Castro came in because they thought now things were going to change, and then after some time they realized this was not going to happen, he said.

“Maybe their case is not exactly the same. They really came here as immigrants, but the second time the reason was that they couldn’t live in Cuba under those circumstances. I don’t see any difference between his parents and myself and everyone else who came here.”

    Ronald Rotunda, Professor of Law at Chapman University, stated, “There’s some people who say that both parents need to be citizens. That’s never been the law.” Polly Price, Professor of Law at Emory University, added, “It’s a little confusing, but most scholars think it’s a pretty unusual position for anyone to think the natural born citizen clause would exclude someone born in the [United States].”Professor Chin concurred with that assessment, stating, “there is agreement that ‘natural born citizens’ include those made citizens by birth under the 14th Amendment.” Similarly, Eugene Volokh, Professor of Law at UCLA, found “quite persuasive” the reasoning employed by the Indiana Court of Appeals, which had ruled “that persons born within the borders of the United States are ‘natural born Citizens’ for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents.” Daniel Takaji, Professor of Law at Ohio State University, stated “Marco Rubio (whose parents were not U.S. citizens at the time of his birth in the United States) was a natural-born citizen because he was born in the United States; the citizenship status of his parents was irrelevant.”

      Well all I have to say is do your own home work instead of citing communist professors. Read the founders and intenational law at the time of ratification. Do not use the commie filter to subvert the constitution. If you believe the founders would have approved of children of illegal aliens to be eligible to be president (because that is what most of those commie professors lead us to believe) then you are completely ignorant of our founding, our founding fathers, and our founding principles. Please do your own homework and read the founders and the laws of the day. Do not let the commie elites lead you down a road of subversion.

      Lastly, I will tell you this as exemplified from my life. I was born abroad and on a US military base (Just as John McCain). The Navy always told me because my parents were US citizens and born on US Soveriegn soil I was considered a Natural born citizen. They did not separate the two requirements, they included both as part of the definition. That was in the late 50s. So you mean to tell me now all of a sudden the requirements changed. Who said they changed some jackass professors. DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!

      @ WhyWonder

      On 1/4/2010 Glenn addressed Obama’s birth certificate but ignored the Article 2, Section 1, natural born citizen requirement. By disregarding the Constitution, it‘s evident he hasn’t properly studied the ineligibility issue.

      This is out of character for one who delights in instructing others about safeguarding our Constitutional Republic, often with the aid of his trusty chalkboard.

      It’s bizarre that Glenn would so easily be diverted from constitutional compliance to mere speculation about the birth certificate. Furthermore, why would Glenn dismiss the known anomalies indicating obama’s birth certificate and social security number are fraudulent, as alleged by numerous experts?

      In fact Glenn’s attempted justification for flagrantly dismissing the usurpation of the Presidency, strangely focused on a trivial aspect of diversionary information. The overly touted birth announcement in the local Hawaiian paper.

      The announcement is insignificant. It simply means the birth information reported to the state by a resident parent, with no verification needed, as was the law for issuance of the COLB, was also provided to the paper by the family or the State, for routine casual inclusion.

      As for Hillary, she can solicit many more donations to the Clinton library slush fund as SoS.

      Marcellus is right. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Hear Glenn dismiss the issue at http://www.ObamaBirthCertificate.net

I think that is what Trump was talking about when he said what his investigators found would shock the world. But then he hid what he found. Something/someone very powerful has a lid on this. We have to stay vigilant. I have lost a lot of respect in Glenn for the dive he took on this, because the facts are so easily exposed and he didn’t do it. He had national audience and he ran. WHY? Did Fox News threaten him? And that Oreilly Jackass, well nothing else needs to be said. The NBC issue is a big turning point for the rule of the constitution. If they get away with redefining NBC all will be lost, because that will set our government up to be run by just about anyone. And that is what the commies have been striving for for years.

      If Rubio is a citizen, then he is a natural born citizen. A natural born citizen is anyone who is a citizen by birth as opposed to becoming one by naturalization. There is absolutely no basis in law for these hair-brained attempts to invent some new third category of citizen – people who are born citizens but not born natural born citizens.

      If you want to learn some eye opening things about Mr. Obama’s early life read the book written by Jerome Corsi titled “The Obama Nation” it covers what is known about Obama’s life. One example of what I learned was that when Obama was a teenager in Hawaii his grandparents arranged to have him mentored by a famous American communist named Frank Marshall Davis. All kinds of red flags in this book including him becoming a muslim and attending a madrasa while living in Indonesia with his muslim stepfather.
      After reading the book you‘ll understand why Obama doesn’t like to talk about his past.

    He is not qalified simply because his parents were not citizens when he was born. He must be a “natural” citizen and he is not. This is constitutionally very clear and is being avoided because of the “birther” label. Had his parents became citizens before his birth it would be different….it’s not.

We better get this right on the next one, and we better fix the Obama thing for the future, because I can tell you the move is a long term play. The commies want children of illegals to be eligible to be president and then anyone eligible. The founders had the requirement of NBC on the president for a reason (notice it is not a requirement on the congress or judiciary). The last 3 years is an example of what happens when you don’t have a committed Americans running the country.

      Please read Minor v. Happersett yourself. Specifically, read the sentences right out of the out-of-context quote that you have been told establishes the definition of a natural born citizen.

      “Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts.”

      Where the Court makes it clear that the full definition of a natural born citizen was not a settled issue, that people were still in disagreement about it, and that they were not ruling on it because it had nothing to do with the case at hand.

      If you are born a citizen, then you are a natural born citizen. That’s what natural born means. You don’t need a law book to know that, you just need a dictionary.

      Rubio nor Jindal are Constitutionally eligible to serve as President. Like Obama, neither are natural born citizens. Eligibility requires not just citizenship, but citizenship having the quality of being a natural born citizen.

      Constitution, Art. 2, Sec. 1, “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible … .”

      Exempting a “citizen” from being a “natural born citizen” proves they aren’t equal, or no exemption was needed. Being not less than, nor equal, a natural born citizen must be more than the minimum requisite for citizenship, which at the time was US birth to a US citizen parent. Only US birth to US citizen parents (plural) is greater, thus defining a natural born citizen.

      The Supreme Court agreed in Minor v. Happersett, 1874. “The Court held that Minor was a member of the “class” of persons who were natural born citizens. They defined this class as those born in the US to “parents” (plural) who were citizens.” – Leo Donofrio, JD.

      A natural born citizen while encompassing citizenship now granted by US birth, which wasn’t possible prior to the 1965 Immigration Act considered by many to be a misinterpretation of the 14th amendment, is a higher quality of citizenship also requiring both birth parents to be a US citizen.

    Someone is looking for dirt on Rubio and this is the best they could do .. confusion on a date? Marco is conservative, Hispanic, and very well spoken (without a teleprompter I would like to add having seen him in person ) and a THREAT to the Marxists trying to take over OUR COUNTRY!

    TEA!

    My mother was an immigrant from Luxemburg in the early 50′s. I don’t even know the exact date she came over here with my dad. It was sometime during 1951-53. I just never thought to ask, but if I were going to run for office, I would certainly try to get the correct information.

    Does anyone else notice that ALL the headlines are based on attacks and accusations about CONSERVATIVES AND REPUBLICANS LATELY? Obama is starting his gang war early! It’s going to be REALLY NASTY folks, so get ready to defend and support their victims.

      Marco cannot be president or vice president it is against what the Constitution says. For those fervent Tea Partiers: READ IT!

      I think all politicians are dishonest to some extent or another, even Republicans. I suppose all human beings are somewhat dishonest, but politicians more.
