Feds open Texas border to 4,000 Cubans, security interview lasts just 1 hour before release
Washington Examiner ^ | May 11, 2016 | Paul Bedard

U.S. Border Patrol officials are opening up the Texas border to let 4,000 Cubans in, taking about an hour to interview them and check their criminal background, before letting them enter the United States on their own where most will stay for life.

Aware that Panama had airlifted nearly 250 of 4,000 Cubans to the Mexican border near El Paso, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency said it stands ready to process the new immigrants with speed, in fact faster it takes many Americans to get a drivers license or buy a gun.

Illegals from everywhere are pouring across the border where I live now. It is crazy! No one cares, Border Patrol is not allowed to do their job. BP is now supposed to help illegals- they haul them out of here in buses so they can get their prizes. The BP is now a welcoming committee for Obama with free bus and airplane tickets and cash cards, hook ups to get more freebies.

None of our so called leaders are even talking about this, much less doing anything.

We are hearing a lot of criticism of what Trump is saying about it, but no one else is doing anything to stop it.

“So now we have other countries flying illegals to us!”

You can bet that Panama was either paid directly for those flights, or told that their aid will dry up if they don’t. I firmly believe there is a agency out there, created exclusively to organize ways to flood our border with invaders. Most likely the funding for this agency is bipartisan. Exposing the web would be the biggest news story in decades.

As crazy as that sounds I agree with you. Panama is not the only country doing this either, several countries are doing it.

If we had real journalists this would be a huge story. They all seem to be good to go with this as well.

I think if someone would follow the money it would lead right back to the U.S. as bad as I hate to think that I sure do at this point.

Yep. Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Adjustment_Act

Special treatment for persons fleeing the Cuban “workers’ paradise.”

With the reestablishment of diplomatic relations between Cuba and the US, do you think this “ticket to ride” will be revisited by the Congress and Executive Branch?

“Folks, this is a war. Be ready for anything. The NWO wont go down without a fight.”

Exactly! They’ve had these plans in the works for a long, long, time. They absolutely will use ANY method they see as necessary to stop anything and anybody they see as a threat to their plan. They want their NWO, and it appears they now want it sooner rather than later. First up: a North American Union.

“As crazy as that sounds...”

There’s just way too much evidence at this point to deny it. Another example: how do all these thousands of poor Central American children all the sudden come up with the financial means and the know-how to leave their families and country, cross the Mexican southern border, and get on a train unhindered (by the hundreds) that takes them directly to our border?

Oh that one is obviously financed too...some of them told BP there were ads in Guatemala for them to come here! I saw many of those “poor children” those I saw were older teens and men by far! At least in my area it was not pitiful families and children alone. Still isn’t, I had Guatemalans in my yard a couple days ago wanting to use a phone. They were adult males! They had a cell phone but the battery was dead! Where did they get their phone when they had just crossed the border? Trust me there are no stores here!

Mariel was one of the factors in Jimmy Carter losing to Reagan.

Tell it to the Cuban lobby in Florida. They’re the reason the law is that once a Cuban makes it here, they get in.

Tell that to Elian Gonzalez.

Tony Montana: What you tell 'em?

Manolo Ray: I told 'em what you told me to tell 'em, I told 'em I was in sanitation, they didn't go for it.

Tony Montana: Sanitation? I told you to tell 'em that you was in a sanitarium, not sanitation, sanitarium.

Not as long as Florida has 29 electoral votes.

Of course the Federal government has authority to control the border. Who do you think does?

Show me the part of the Constitution that makes you think they do.
