they don t help the senator. last week it was report that had rubio s parents did not flee castro s cuba, as he said, but left years later, and now we learn that his parents apparently didn t intend to return to cuba, as he claims. they planned to stay in the u.s. gentlemen, thank you. the st. pete times reported this today. on may 18th, 1956, mario and oriales rubio walked into the american consulate in havana and applied for immigrant visas. the form asked how long they intended to stay in the united states. they said permanently. mr. rubio answered that question clearly. it seems to me now, peter, that the question now is why is everything we ve been getting over the years from rubio clearly suggesting he s an anti-communist victim that should appeal across the country to other anti-communists on the right, and it turns out, nothing wrong with it, an immigrant like so many other people from the caribbean without any political reality to the story. well, that s the question.
