2. Sad
But I doubt much will be done about this especially since these people can not vote.

3. Something odd
When did citizenship change? When I took it they had a waiver for people over 55.

I guess during the bush years, would not shock me.

5. Kind of puts Republicans in a sticky wicket...
The Cuban vote in FL has always been reliably Republican. It's been slipping a little with new generations and they're trying to hold it. If they change the law to accommodate this group, it benefits all those 'mexicans' their racist, white base hates.

A dilemma. Couldn't happen to a better bunch. :)
