I'd settle for deported.... Oh, wait... They were given "permission" to stay... (Even though their emigration predated the Castro revolution by 2-1/2 years.)

The Marco Rubio story: From birther blog to mainstream media

On May 27th, Charles Kerchner, a retired Navy commander in Pennsylvania who runs a birther blog mostly aimed at President Barack Obama, posted a monster scoop about Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, the GOP’s rising star.

According to naturalization documents that he had obtained, Rubio’s parents had come to the U.S. from Cuba in 1956, not after Fidel Castro took power in 1959, as Rubio’s Senate biography claimed.

“Thus Senator Marco Rubio is not telling the truth when he says in his Senate biography that his parents came to the USA after Castro’s takeover of Cuba,” he wrote. “They were not Cuban refugees escaping communist Cuba as he has said in embellishing his life story in so many of his election campaigns.”

It was a potentially explosive story, one that could call into question the credibility and the essential life story of someone the Republican establishment has rallied around with the kind of high hopes not seen since Ronald Reagan.

And no one noticed. For almost five months.

It's beginning to sound like he's curious too....? Since he doesn't seem to know any of the rest of his family history, he must be wondering.
