Senator Rubio:  Not a Typical Cuban American

Marco Rubio has little in common with the Cuban American community. As an American citizen of Cuban descent, I refute Rubio's partiality for leftist groups like La Raza and his trust on socialist Democrats like Senator Schumer, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, and President Barack Obama.
The large majority of Cuban Americans came to this country as political refugees after the Castro revolution took over on January 1, 1959. Senator Rubio's parents came to the United States as economic immigrants in 1956 and were naturalized as U.S. citizens in 1975. Marco Rubio was born in Miami on May 28, 1971. This proves that Marco Rubio is indeed not eligible to become President of the USA since his parents were not citizens at the time of his birth. Marco Rubio served as City Commissioner in West Miami in the 1990s; he was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 2000 and then elected Speaker in November 2006. Marco Rubio has excelled at talking his way up to the US Senate with the help of the powerful Florida GOP establishment, including Governor Jeb Bush. His background gives us a better understanding on why Marco Rubio, unlike the majority of Cuban Americans, is so open to negotiations with politicians and groups to the left of mainstream America.

Being born in this country; educated in Miami public schools, and having a family who immigrated out of economic needs instead of fleeing communist tyranny, makes Marco Rubio someone who has more in common with our immigrants from Mexico and Central America. However, I am surprised that having been raised in Miami he was not influenced by the countless stories from the Cuban exiles in Miami who frequent El Versalles restaurant and play dominos in the parks. But then again, perhaps as first generation American he could have felt that there was no need to listen to the older generation of Cubans. After all, what could he learn from them? Was he not a brilliant young American who could dazzle those around him with his eloquence and mastering of the English language? I have no facts to prove his lack of enthusiasm for the stories of the Cuban exiles, but his actions sure reflect complete disregard for the tyrannical tactics of this administration either out of naiveté or pure cynicism. I believe is naiveté from a young man who never went through the rite of passage.

Senator Rubio's job as an elected official is to represent the American citizens who elected him in Florida

Marco Rubio feels sorry for the "pobrecitos," just as his mother told him to have compassion for them. He wants to be generous to the impoverished people from South of the Border by redistribution of funds from American taxpayers. That is a Marxist philosophy that goes counter to how Castro refugee Cuban Americans think. Senator Rubio's job as an elected official is to represent the American citizens who elected him in Florida. He has no right to act as a philanthropist with other people's money, particularly to help foreigners who broke our laws. The United States Government was not founded as a social welfare agency, but in order to defend and protect the constitutional rights of its citizens. The Cuban Americans who came to this country as refugees from communist tyranny thought that Marco Rubio would represent our ideals and values, but now understand that he was never one of us. As soon as he became Senator he sought the company of the RINO Senators McCain and Graham; has been in favor of US involvement in Libya and Syria; has worked with La Raza, a group that has made claims for the southwest US as Mexican territory and has members who proudly wear the infamous Che T-shirt that honors a murderer of Cuban patriots; and has discarded the rule of law by supporting amnesty for illegal immigrants. With these actions, Senator Rubio has proven to be against the conservative principles that brought us to this country and makes us fight for its freedom and sovereignty. If Senator Rubio is serious on helping the Latino underclass then he should stand up to the powerful political and business interests in countries like Mexico, instead of making the American citizens responsible for all their impoverished and uneducated people. How is this going to help them and us in the long run? This law is not compassionate. It is ruthless against the American citizens, the American workers who would find that, due to Obamacare, businesses would prefer to hire the amnestied immigrants. It is also ruthless against the illegal immigrants who are promised amnesty and eventual citizenship in exchange for their votes for Leftist Democrats and their hard cheap labor for the special interest businesses that fill the coffers of the Republican National Committee. Who wins? Who loses? Only the upper echelon elitists in government and business. This is today the new form of SLAVERY. It is a civil rights matter that should concern every human being who cares for individual freedom and the struggle for self-determination. These progressive elitists think they are gods who can determine every aspect and decision of each human being for their own good while ignoring any input from them. It makes them feel superior to give away presents with other people's money, and then accept the adulation of the masses at the receiving end. Just like they wish to take away our constitutional rights, they pretend to care for poor immigrants in order to enhance their power and control over our country and each of us. May God help us!

Elvira Fernandez Hasty——

Elvira Fernandez Hasty was born in La Habana, Cuba, to immigrants from Spain.  She attended a private Catholic school for women, French Dominicans School, until the age of fifteen.  At that time, the Castro regime militia invaded her home one night in order to question her 20 year old sister, Rose, about her involvement in “counter-revolution” at the University.  After some months of anguish, my father arranged for Rose to obtain diplomatic protection from the country of Honduras, and the decision was also made to send me away before confiscation of private schools by the communist government.  My sister flew to Honduras under the protection of the Ambassador on January 24, 1961, while I left the country for Florida the next day via the Pedro Pan organization that was formed to protect Cuban children from Marxist indoctrination. 

After finishing high school in Florida and working at an electric company billing department, Elvira continued her studies at St. Mary College in Kansas.  She graduated cum laude with a BS in Chemistry and later received her PhD in Chemistry from the University of Illinois at Urbana, IL.  Dr. Hasty spent twenty years in college teaching and research, becoming Associate Professor of Chemistry and Chairperson at Mundelein College in Chicago. 

In 1997, Elvira and her husband James, moved to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, where she currently resides.  She has been politically active since then, first in the Republican Party and lately in her own conservative organization, Ponte Vedra Conservative Women, a group of conservative women concerned about the future of our country. We are united by our common desire to preserve our Constitution, the principles of our Founding Fathers, and our Judeo/Christian values.
