As we certainly have become a very crowded country, and Castro can't even stand up on his own two feet, could easily be defeated, it's time to revisit the wet-foot policy that allows an unlimited number of Cubans to come to the USA and certainly many are not actually fleeing tyranny but coming for the easy life of government handouts here.
We need less legal immigration also with the serious lack of jobs. That doesn't change the fact that his parents came here legally. The past is the past -- but yes we need less immigration -- less legal immigration and we should have no illegal immigration. We need jobs for Americans and those legal immigrants already here.
Yes, the definition of an anchor baby includes parents who came here illegally and gave birth to cash in on the misinterpretation of the 14th amendment so they can beat the immigration laws. That's not the case with Marco Rubio's parents.
Agree.
Before folks start throwing terms around, perhaps they should learn what those terms actually MEAN.
Rubio's parents were here LEGALLY.
Big difference from those non-citizens who sneak across the border without permission and purposely evading legal entry.
Rubio embellished his story to help himself politically. Truth is irrelevant to this guy, just check his Fla Legislative history. It's just more exotic to say you family came here to escape Castro, when the reality is, they came years prior to Castro taking control. They came for economic opportunities, as most immigrants do.
How are the economic desires of Mexicans America's responsibility?
Maybe if Mexicans spent less time making demands on us and more time making demands on their own leaders they wouldn't have to flee?
Good point.
I read the other day that many illegal immigrants from Mexico are returning home. The startling fact is: Mexico's unemployment rate is LOWER than the USA's now.
Who would have thought we would see that day . . .

No, there is no difference if the immigrant is legal or illegal when it comes to anchor babies. A legal tourist of another nation could have a baby in US, and that baby would be called "anchor baby".
