Cuban Wave Arrives by Land Migrants Take Circuitous Routes to Reach the Border, Where They Gain Entry By MIRIAM JORDAN and ARIAN CAMPO-FLORES

In June, Luis Alberto Cuan Lio and his pregnant wife, Yordana Bravo Perez, flew from Cuba to Ecuador as tourists. It was the first leg in a circuitous journey that ended when they crossed the border from Mexico into the U.S., where they are building a new life.

An influx of illegal immigrants from Central America drew wide attention recently, but more than 22,000 Cubans entered the U.S. over land in the year that ended Sept. 30, twice as many as in the previous year. An additional 3,940 sought to reach the U.S. along...

No, they like anyone non-white. They see them as mindless, liberal supporting Democrats.

Cubans that escape Cuba are generally very conservative capitalists.

Most "republicans" would consider them "right wing".

Remember when the democrat "vote counters" in Florida tried to do their "counting" in a private room, and Cuban Americans stormed the room to allow oversight?

The first generations of white Cubans vote GOP. Doubt that recent Cubans do. Regardless, Hispanics overall will flip Florida (and other states) permanently RAT soon enough.

Absolutely true. They are the same media that coined “white hispanic” for Zimmerman, since zimmie was the son of a Peruvian woman and a white man.

They think of Cubans as being European whites— which the Spanish descent truly white Cubans came from.

Higher class Cubans (in the US, that is) regard themselves as the top Euro-hispanic group over all other “latinos”, and look down on the South American indios, and other strains. Because these kinds of Cuban-Americans are loyal to the US, and believe in our Constitution—that is why the MSM hates them- because Cuban-Americans usually carry themselves with dignity and culture— and the meztisos fit this bill

Overload the system...

(Remember headlines last week: Obama admin. to allow over 100,000 Haitians into U.S. without visas.)

.....Cubans that escape Cuba are generally very conservative capitalists. ....

Let's hope so. However, the 1960s were long ago, and the Cubans "escaping" today may well be quite a bit different in outlook, education, culture, and yes, even race. Cuba is a lot more "Afro-Cuban" than it was in 1960.

Let's also be aware that any "refugee" wave usually contains its share of spies, agents provocateurs, and other insalubrious types. What this new wave really demonstrates is that we have absolutely no control over our borders, especially the one with Mexico.

Is this latest Cuban wave good news or bad news? Let's check back next year.

I remember that shameful day for America. That one picture is all you need to know about the Klinton years.

One can’t help but wonder why he buckled so thoroughly to Castro.

I bet the KGB got some really interesting photos of him from his days visiting Moscow as a college student.

Under-age girls? Boys? What, I wonder?

Cubans... still get automatic legal status as soon as they touch US soil?

That was the one and only time when liberals wanted to deport anyone in 2 decades. By that logic, all these illegal children that recently came here would be reunited with their families.
