WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama is making another overture to Cuba, asking the island's communist government to resume talks that his predecessor halted on legal immigration of Cubans to the United States.

Making it easier for Cuban agents to infiltrate US society and influence the hispanic voters toward socialism.
Cubans are all too aware of socialism
Yeah we really need more people here in the worst recession. I may be a pessimist, but I think the lose of jobs is going to continue. I have nothing against Cubans who want to flee, but can we handle more?
If all the Cubans come here- can we send all the American liberals to Cuba to cut sugar cane?

Mariel was a disaster. Castro emptied out his jails and his insane asylums and other trouble makers, just what miami(where they all wind up) needs, more losers than they already have.
It depends on who would come over. When the original flight took place from the Communists we ended up with some very productive hard working people who settled in south Florida and made their own way in the world. They were strong supporters of capitalism and built their own businesses bringing with them everything that Cuba needed but discouraged by accepting communism.
However, if the communists decide who is allowed to come over, we will get those that they view as undesirable including their criminals, ne'er do wells, and incapables.
These conversations should not take place with such a naive president in charge of the administration. He will only look at this as an opportunity to gain some sort of political advantage.
The second act of the Carter Administration
But....but...but who would want to leave the Cuban paradise with it’s free medical care and excellent education?
All this is amounts to zero attempting to purchase more votes. This time from a constituency that formerly voted for us.
The guy's handlers are slick,no question.
I promise you the people left in Cuba are not nearly as capitalist as the ones we got in the early decades of Fidel Castro’s rule. Plus communism has brainwashed most of them
The ones left behind are not so much the Spanish population (the got out) but the poorer Black population. Fidel rules a a black Island
The MedicAid fraud in Miami is insane. The nation's highest. They have figured out and used every scam
Plus the SSI disability checks are flowing like waterfalls. They probably keep Miami afloat with the other frauds
True,
In the first batch we ended up with many gorgeous raven-haired, fair-skinned women, some of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. I hope we get more of them!
You are misinformed. Cubans do not have “free and automatic citizenship” in the US. According to the Cuban Adjustment Act of 196, they are allowed to apply for RESIDENCY asfter being here a year and a day. To acquire citizensho, they have to pass the same examination and meet the same standards as anyone else.
YOU ARE CORRECT — JFK bungled big time, but he wouldn’t have had the opportunity in the first place if Eishenhower and the State Dept in 1957 and 1958 had not taken a pro-Castro approach to Cuba that led to the Castro takeover in 1959.
Yeah I remember Castro was sending criminals when that idiot Carter, I think, was president. Or it could have been bush sr. I don’t remember which one.
Sure!!!!!! How many have been turned down???
I doubt that you really know that or could substantiate your ststement in any way — you’re repeating the pro-Castro line that the Leftists in the State Department and the NY Times used to install the fake Robin Hood.
One isn’t “turned down” or not turned down. One takes an examination, oral and written, that is the same one that everone else from every other country takes. One passes it or does not pass it.
You are conflating the year and a day residency with citizenship. It’s not the same thing. Citizens can vote, residents can’t, etc.
Did not say either, I said, it was time to stop the wet foot dry foot BS and let the Cubans go home and/or get in line.
No, that’s not what you said at all. You said “and how many are turned down?”
None are turned down!!

Who I am is a person who has traveled widely, is bi-lingual, and extremely informed about Latin American,and especially Caribbean history. I also live and work in predominantly left-wing circles, so I’m very familiar with
the string of cliches that they employ, of which the allegations of corruption under Batista are one of the most repeated by the pro-Castro camp.
I refer you to my previous post. You seem to be playing a broken record.
And if you have any questions about my patriotism, hate of communism, or anything else, you might review some of the more than 30,000 posts I have made on this board before you open your all too big mouth.
the link you have posted is exactly the string of cliches I’m refering to that the Left uses to justify the Castro dictatorship. You seem to have difficulty conducting a serious discussion. I didn’t question your patriotism, merely your intellectual awareness and your command of facts.
Jimmy Carter....now in black.
Don’t post to me any more troll.
