Elian Gonzalez Turns 12

By immigrationprof

Immigration icon Elian Gonzalez turned twelve on Tuesday. According to CNN, young Elian celebrated by listening to a speech by Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Some observers have opined that the Clkinton Administration’s return of Gonzalez to Cuba to his father, and the infamous picture of an armed INS officer taking him from his Miami relatives, cost Al Gore the state of Florida and the 2000 Presidential Election. It makes one wonder what might (or might not) have been.
