Obama ends policy of accepting Cubans who arrive in U.S. without visas

But will the new policy have a shelf life of more than a week?

I guess we’re now just down to total d*** moves on the part of the Earth Scorcher in Chief. Ever since Fidel Castro turned Cuba into a Soviet outpost in the 1950s, the United States has had a policy of welcoming Cuban refugees, assuming they could make it to our shores, even if they don’t have a visa. (Since, after all, how could they have a visa?) And since the mid-1990s, this has been formalized the wet-foot-dry-foot policy, and it establishes that if land on U.S. territory and thus achieve a state of “dry foot,” you can stay.

Because Cubans, brown though they may be, don’t tend to vote for Democrats.

Executive actions. Just his petulant way that he takes a parting shot at them because as a whole the Cuban community did not vote for him or Hitlery. That can be undone in the blink of an eye. Think back to Texas and Tennessee being denied federal disaster relief. Same friggin thing.

Actually, I see Trump not renewing the policy but instead falling back to the previous policy if they make the attempt and we can save them from the waters, they are in. That would put an even greater strain on Castro’s utopia. I also see the new relations policy being scuttled as well until they too acquiesce and are chased out with their old broken GAZ’s and all. This too will be a rapid evolution as will the simultaneous fall of Venezuela.

What we do know is that many who escaped desire to return when Cuba is again free.

Send the ALL home. Don’t like Cuba now? Fix it, don’t flood and destroy America.

Well, it is obvious he DEMANDS the “right” to ship illegal aliens from every other country across Central and South America right through every legal and moral point in HIS way, but will ship Cubans back to the firing squads.

It fits his hatred of America and AMerican freedom, and love of international socailism, international communism, and his vile hatred of any people who fight communism.

But is the correct order? Is he a homosexual-loving atheistic-tolerating Muslim social communist, or is some other order of priorities more accurate?

So the only illegals Obama and the loony left don’t like are Cubans? Sounds pretty damned xenophobic to me...

Must be that Cuba is losing too much of its work force.

Cubans who voted Dem will not be happy.

If Hillary had won, bet this would not have happened.

Obama is clearly a bigot against Cubans. Mexicans are OK, but why does he hate Cubans so much?
