Hispanic voters love Obama, but Marco Rubio could end the romance

Hispanic voters in Florida and across the country give exceedingly high marks to President Barack Obama and overwhelmingly favor his re-election.

The findings come from a Fox News Latino/Latin Insights poll released Monday. The poll also showed that in Florida and elsewhere Hispanic support for Obama dips if the eventual Republican nominee picks U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio for vice president.

Naturalized is NOT the same as natural born.

Correct. One is either a Naturalized or Natural Born Citizen. Since you are claiming that Rubio is not Natural Born Citizen that must mean he is NATURALIZED. So my question to you is WHEN was Marco Rubio NATURALIZED?

Rubio backs Romney because he is the closest to him politically. Nothing more. Nothing less. He's soft on immigration issues and would probably earn the same C+ which Mitt Romney earned in this analysis. There seems to be fewer issues dearer to the hearts of the Hispanic ethnic lobby than loosey-goosey immigration policies.

I can't remember the politician who asked "What more do they want? Moving sidewalks?" But it is true.

The exceptions, of course, are Americans of Hispanic descent who earned their way here and, of course, object to cheap and easy citizenship for those wanting to bring with them that which they ran away from. But they, unfortunately, represent the minority of Hispanics now.

Because they come from nations dominated by Spanish political thought, which is very Leftist in nature. In Mexico for example...the two parties are in all essence democrat vs socialist.

Romney will choose the moderate hispanic governor out of New Mexico if he wins the nomination.

That blog itself quotes the Supreme Court case acknowledging, "Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents."

It wasn't necessary for the court to decide on that basis so it didn't. It took the path of least resistance to make the clearest precedent.

It is, however, important they recognized the argument.

You go ahead and challenge Rubio or Jindal or how about Santorum or maybe you think Romney isn't a natural born citizen either.

The trouble with Birthers is you have no uniform agreement on a version of NBC: two citizen parents, two citizen parents themselves not naturalized, two citizen parents and born in country, etc...

That blog itself quotes the Supreme Court case acknowledging, "Some authorities go further and include as CITIZENS children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents."

Why then use just the word citizens if they were referring to natural born Citizens?

Whether persons born in the US to non-citizen parents were “citizens” was not a question before the Minor Court because Mrs. Minor was natural-born, whereas Wong Kim Ark was not. The determination of his citizenship required the 14th Amendment, whereas Mrs. Minor’s did not.
