The way the definition of Natural Born Citizen is being watered down, Elian might have grown up to be president of the US if he hadn’t been sent back to Cuba.

I always had mixed feelings. He had a father who wanted him and that is where he went eventually.

The relatives here were a bunch of nuts...parading him around like a circus act.

But the goons showing up....There was absolutely no excuse for that.

That is one of the greatest shots in the history of photo-journalism.

Didn’t most polls at the time show that the American people had no sympathy to speak of for Elian?

Notice the Feds went to great lengths to “rescue” Elian meanwhile the Ffed did nothing to help rescue Americans in Libya fighting terrorists...

Didn’t mean to put the extra F in front of Fed but will leave it cause its somehow apporpiate!

just to jog the memory, more than one member of the Lazaro family who were holding Elian threatened the use of lethal force if anyone tried to peacefully enter the house to remove the child, one relative in particular quoted as saying, “they could get hurt”. I don’t agree with calling the Border Agents ‘goons’ when it was plain they were repeatedly warned to expect an armed response from the relatives. Associated Press got an warm invite, tho.

If Ted Cruz had a son, he would look like Elian Gonzalez... ;-)

I do not agree with Senator Cruz on this. The boy had to be returned to the custody of his only living parent, his father, however painful that decision was.

To the best of my knowledge the only country in the world cruel enough to take a child away from his parents for ideological reasons is Sweden, which did just that to Domenic Johansson on June 25, 2009.
