Presidential Aspirations: Illegal Immigrants

illegal immigrants: The Texas senator with presidential aspirations now being dubbed a Canadian anchor baby by media wags in his home state of Texas claims he didnt know that being born in Canada 42 years ago to an American mother and a Cuban father made him an automatic citizen, just as it does those children born to illegal immigrants south of the 49th parallel, according to The Chronicle Herald.
