I’ve read it a number of times, that they had esacaped from Cuba but were not yet naturalized; either one or (IIRC), both. I have read some speculation by (someone?) that because Cuba had some sort of protectorate or like status, that Cubans qualified as citizens but I think that’s utter nonsese.
I’ve searched and searched, I have asked many other Freepers that have stated his parents were not citizens when he was born and I have yet to get a definitive answer. If they weren’t citizens when he was born, in my book, he is not eligible, end of story, and it doesn’t matter what country they came from, but until I have proof they weren’t, I will consider him a contender in the future.
