Oh. That could make a difference. Were either of his parents US Citizens in 1971? Had his parents applied for permanent residency and had they requested Asylum?
You have complicated the picture my FRiend. I may have to reassess my argument.
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon....
I believe his father came before, returned during the revolution, got his wife out and brought her, so from past memory of reading this, I think they do fall under the asylum law.
Nonetheless, it doesn’t matter about the mother because she became a citizen before Marco was born 10 years after her arrival in the country.
The father had applied for immigration, returned to Cuba, and then reapplied after returning to the US.
Any of those would have been sufficient in 1793.
