TIL Marco Rubio's (R) maternal grandfather immigrated to the US without a visa, and a judge ordered that he be deported, but the order was later changed to allow him to stay.
Relevant excerpt, emphasis is mine:
Rubio's maternal grandfather, Pedro Victor Garcia, immigrated to the U.S. legally in 1956, but returned to Cuba to find work in 1959. When he fled communist Cuba and returned to the U.S. in 1962 without a visa, he was detained as an undocumented immigrant and an immigration judge ordered him to be deported. Immigration officials reversed their decision later that day, the deportation order was not enforced, and Garcia was given a legal status of "parolee" that allowed him to stay in the U.S. Garcia re-applied for permanent resident status in 1966 following passage of the Cuban Adjustment Act, at which point his residency was approved. Rubio enjoyed a close relationship with his grandfather during his childhood.
Something shady happened, y'all.
Prime example of "fuck you, i got mine"
GOP motto.
So will Trump deport him or shoot him?
That depends. Did he stop kissing his ring?
Frankly, if there was a transsexual M13 member that illegally crossed the border, murdering several border guards and in her way ate a cat, as long as she would express support of trump she wouldn't have anything to worry about.
They think they will be immune. But they are wrong.
Republicans don't care about the past. That's why they are currently trying to repeat Germany 1933.
More like Italy in the 1920s onwards. All Nazis are fascists, but not all fascists are Nazis.
For example, Nazis were big into public works projects and pretending to be socialists, both of which are anathema to the current American Fascist Party/GOP
Edit to clarify: I'm not saying that the MAGA cult aren't as bad as Nazis, in case there's any doubt. They're just a different shit flavor of fascists that are roughly as evil and deranged as the Nazis, Italian fascists, and Franco's fascists
Marco reading Wikipedia: awkwardly takes a sip of water.
Daaaaaang, yo. 🔥
Rules for thee, not for me.

shadyhappened, y'all.How is the Cuban Missile Crisis associated with Pedro Victor Garcia's deportation order being overruled on the same day?
I always find it really odd when people flee "communist" states. They certainly weren't communist then, and I would appreciate if they wouldnt be called that way...
No different than places which call themselves democratic.
