The Coast Guard is reporting an 117 percent spike in December in the number of Cubans fleeing the island nation by boat. On Monday alone, the Coast Guard returned 121 Cubans back to the custody of authorities in Havana. They were all intercepted at sea in seven separate incidents in just the past week.

What's shocking about this since the lyin' kings announcement that that he and the castro clowns are gonna be BFF's soon? Maybe those fleeing got some sort of pre-notification that this was about to go down. Hmmm. Wonder who's gonna get the ambassador tap for this one. How about Humberto Fontalvo? :>}

how come the only illegals this administration is keeping out are Cuban? Is it because they might vote Republican.

I have a terrible fear that Cuba wants to be part of the USA...just like perhaps Puerto Rico...

Maybe they are the prisoners who were supposed to be released, oh wait that is another area which this admin and the media won’t cover as it has shown the white house to be comedy hour again.

Thankfully, we’re providing security for the Cuban dictatorship, ensuring that none leave the worker’s paradise. Wonder how long until Cuba demands extra patrols?

You’d think you would see a flotilla of rafts full of lefties heading Cuba’s way.

If you look at it from a Cuban peon’s point of view, I suspect living as a 20th economic percentile American would be like heaven. There are several billion others in the world with the same view.

If Cuba were to become a US territory that would be a fine way to keep the Russians and the Venezuelans out of there.

Also, I don’t know if it would be bad if Cuba eventually became a state because formerly communist countries almost always swing conservative once they’re liberated.

Massive, catastrophic, calamitous, destructive, invasive, suicidal, racist...

All the words that describe our immigration policies.

There’s a flood from everywhere but Europe. I wonder why that is. Europe has to go through hoops, and everyone else has loopholes created for them.

As far as Whites go, when thinking America, think South Africa. This is being engineered.

This is what we are up against: Some dingbat was all for taking in everyone who crossed our border or came to our shores. I told him that there are over seven billion people on Planet Earth, at and what point would he say "ENOUGH, we have reached a saturation point".
