Just a reminder that the orange shitstain's Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, is Cuban American.
I'll save you a click, but when it comes to pulling up the ladder behind himself, there may be none finer than Rubio:
And this is why I cringe whenever Rubio boasts about knowing Spanish or awkwardly hints at being bilingual. Care to tell the cameras why the fuck you're bilingual in the first place, asshole??
You know, I realized after I wrote all that about Rubio that, under the new policies, Desi Arnaz would have been in line for deportation. No lie. Desi Arnaz (of I Love Lucy fame) was a Cuban-American who came from wealth, emigrated to the US with nothing, then made it big.
I don't know if he ever got citizenship but he was uber-patriotic about his adopted home, and worked throughout WWII and a while afterward for the USO entertaining troops and getting starlets to visit wounded GIs in the hospital.
Unfortunately, later he was also arrested a couple of times for drunk and disorderly back in the 60s, at the height of his fame.
Desi fucking Arnaz. Everyone my age (I'm old) and plenty of others remember when he was literally iconic. There was never a bigger flag waver, never a better illustration of the now-long-gone "American Dream," and he'd be the first to preach it.
But now they'd just deport him, without even letting him grab his ID to prove his legal status. Blows my goddamn mind.
Modern conservative would hate him for marrying a white woman.
MSM will never trying to out him as a foreigner, much like miss LINDSEY isnt getting outed, the gop needs him.
im actually surprised he dint change his name a little like the zodiac killer, ted cruz(from rafael cruz)
Holy shit, yeah, you're right. He's Cuban-(Canadian-)American too. Forgot about him entirely, which is always a happy moment.
it regularly flees to cancun to shed his skin when TEXAS gets extremely cold weather.
But then you have the tragedy of remembering he exists on occasion.
