The current law was written under the assumption we would get trickles of refugees from Cuba and that the Cuban regime would still be commie and in place. What if the regime collapsed? Every Cuban that can get something that floats decided to head to Florida to get refugee status and welfare? The law as written would make the whole Cuban island eligible for this.
I think this law needs a re-evaluation.
Insane. They are out of Cuba and safe somewhere. Why does everyone who’s some stripe of Hispanic have a natural right to come here. Just what we need, more cubes.
Will nobody stop Obama?
Well at least Cubans tend to vote for the GOP.
Since when does Castro let 8k of his people leave?
That is not an endorsement, just an observation...
Obama, striking yet another blow against the Bitter Clingers of xenophobic nativist America.
So they can vote Cruz/Rubio?
Or, did Cuba take the worst of their criminals, pack them onto a boat and deliver them to Costa Rica?
Cruz & Rubio have been advocating for them, but I need to dig for the source. Google might work if anyone doesn’t want to wait.
My experience with Cubans is limited to my husband having been stationed there, and a few visits to friends who live in the Miami area after that-but from what I do know, they mostly work, and are not on welfare-they appreciate our country and way of life because they came from a real communist hellhole-not a socialist or communist-lite country like most of Latin America. I’m of Hispanic ancestry, but other than having Spanish ancestry in common, Cubans don’t seem to have much in common with those from Latin America...
I don’t mind this at all. Give me immigrants escaping oppression as opposed to those that leave their countries because of economic conditions. They are much more likely to vote conservative.
Since Odumbo has removed the ban on Cuba, it’s time to retire that whole wet foot dry foot deal.
Yeah, we need more immigrants.
