While present under a non-immigrant visa, he studied at Stanford University and received his B.A. there in 1956. He joined Delta Tau Delta International Fraternity〔The Rainbow, vol. 132, no. 4, p. 20〕 while at Stanford. In 1952, Bea represented Cuba as a member of the country's basketball team in the Helsinki Olympics. Upon his return, he was put into deportation proceedings for allegedly avoiding the draft. Bea suggested to the Immigration Judge that he be drafted to cure the apparent violation, but the Judge refused as the Korean War had already ended. Bea won his appeal at the Board of Immigration Appeals, opining that the lower court had abused its discretion. After having his residency reinstated and accumulating the requisite physical presence, Bea petitioned for and became a naturalized citizen in 1959.

Bush, but he never received a vote in the Senate. His son is Olympic rower Sebastian Bea.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carlos Bea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
