[QUOTE="Bill V, post: 603178, member: 54538"] stonemiser and NelsonOKC, it could not have been Elian Gonzalez. stonemiser says that in the case he's thinking of, the parents got sent back and the family here wanted to keep the kid. That wasn't the case with Elian Gonzalez--in that case, Elian and his mother were on one of the rickety boats trying to get from Cuba to the US. The boat sank, and Elian was the only survivor. His father, divorced from Elian's mother and still in Cuba, wanted Elian back--who had effectively been illegally abducted by his mother. His mother's family in Florida, though, wanted to keep him here for political reasons. The US eventually went into the family's home with the military, took the kid, and returned him to his father. The story had nothing to do with immigration rights or status--it was entirely based on a conflict between the Cuban/American political situation and the father's rights to keep his family together.
