Marco's pretty boy image gets tarnished
You have hear the story before: Fidel Castro and his communist henchmen took over Cuba causing thousands of Cubans who collaborated with the Batista regime to flee to the US where they had to start over as janitors, bartenders, gardeners and fast food workers.
This story is part of Marco Rubio's American Dream. However, Rubio's parents had emigrated before the Cuban revolution so they were not expatriated because of the Cuban revolution.
According to the Huffington Post:
But media reports Thursday revealed they'd emigrated to the U.S. in 1956. Rubio's father was a bartender and came for economic reasons. Castro wasn't even in Cuba when they left.
Politico says:
In speeches and on his official Senate website, Rubio has maintained that his parents came to America after Castro, whom he’s described as “a thug,” took power on New Year’s Day 1959. But naturalization papers and documents reviewed by the Post reveal that Rubio’s parents first arrived in the U.S. and received permanent resident status more than 2½ years earlier, in 1956.
Rubio is now saying his parents were "exiles" because they tried to move back to Cuba in 1961 but decided they didn't want to live under communism.
Rubio's parents where those good Cuban immigrants, not the bad Mexican immigrants that Herman Cain and GOP rail on.
Marco's American Dream is political bull shit!
