Univision Employee Calls Marco Rubio 'Token Slave Boy'

REFERENCE---Early US tax perks to Cubans now under scrutiny in today's US immigration reform efforts

(REUTERS) Under US law---called the 1966 Cuban Adjustment Act---Cuban immigrants (like the families of Rubio and Menendez) received unique and highly favorable treatment, including (1) permanent residency just a year after arrival, (2) eligibility for a catalogue of tax-paid government benefits-- including Medicaid, SSI, child care, and disability, PLUS, (3) whatver tax-subsidizations they could got their hands on.

Being Cuban is so advantageous it has spawned its own form of identity fraud. Last year federal agents busted a ring that sold almost 50 fake Cuban birth certificates for up to $15,000 apiece to illegal aliens from Latin America so they could obtain green cards.

All Cubans have to do to gain entry into the United States, is show-up at the Texas-Mexico border, show a Cuban identity card and birth certificate. They then bring in families, reunite w/ parents and build a tax-fueled dream life thanks to one of the most generous US immigration laws: the 1966 Cuban Adjustment Act.

Last month Cuba ended its practice of requiring an exit permit to leave the island, and said all Cubans could obtain a passport, potentially increasing the exodus.

Immigration experts note that if living under a communist regime was the criteria to obtain "political asylum" (and the trainload of tax-paid benefits "asylum" brings).....rather than specific "persecution" for political or religious beliefs.......a multitude of residents from poverty-stricken, corrupt misgoverned country would be eligible to board the US gravy-train.

RE :”And Palin was going to win women in 2008?”

2008 ??? How about that make believe run she did in 2011 and all the hundreds of comments here claiming she would win the wimmin vote in 2012??
At least in 2008 she was fresh and unknown and she had some chance at doing that. By 2011 she was seen as just another Rush except much better looking.

This was the first real sign that last years election would end in disaster. The chasing of make believe candidates.
