Could Obama be planning to make Cuba our 51st State?
April 14, 2015 | Lee Martell

Barack Obama's time as a sitting American President is running out. If he plans to do something big and bold, now, or within the next 19 months will be time to do it. We already see that he has softened the borders, in definition and in purpose. There are tens of thousands of illegal aliens pouring in across the southern borders of our country, day after day, week after frustrating week.

Operation Choke Point quietly continues to convince banks to refuse the accounts of gun stores, resulting in these stores being shut down. Lois Lerner is still free to walk the streets, maybe call the White House with helpful advice against Tea Party groups. Obama ignores the rights of individual states to have some say in how many immigrants enter their state lines. Everyone knows that a large percentage of these undocumented, unvetted, unskilled and unvaccinated people will end up on public assistance , funded generously by the American taxpayers. Obama has remained determined to close down the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp in Caimanera, Cuba, without regard to any after effects or societal costs. He has shown himself to be a very poor negotiator for the U.S., while being an enthusiastic booster of all thing Cuban or Castro related.

Is it beyond the pale to imagine it (before he does)? Is it possible that we could awake one morning, turn on Free Republic or Drudge, only to discover that overnight, by Presidential Decree, Obama has made Cuba into a state or territory of the United States? This done in a way that ignores Congress completely, something already not out of the ordinary for him. Obama could say he wanted to welcome Cuba into the 21st Century vs leaving them to lurk in the Cold War Darkness of the past. He though businesses would 'welcome the opportunity' to spread the influence of Amercian business into this tropical country. The Castro Brothers may approve of this if it meant having the Americans shower them with billions of guilty-privledge Dollars to build infrastructure and update their financial market. If Cuba became a state or territory of the United States, that would make it very easy for Obama to empty that prison and transfer all remaining inmates to other facilities across the continent. Talk Radio and Fox would explode with fury (maybe), but with Congress so ready to roll over and play dead, nothing but bloviating will actually be done. A week or two after this 'constitutional crime', you will find Boehner and McCain trying to justify it for the time being.

And they no longer speak much Spanish, they speak English and local dialects such as Bikol, Cebuano, Hiligaynon (Ilonggo), Ilocano, Kapampangan, Pangasinan, Tagalog, and Waray. And aren’t a lot of Americans Catholic already?

We need a really efficient filter at Ellis Island and other entry points. The southern border is yet another question.

The borders are largely wide open. And anyone can come in on a tourist or student visa and just stay and stay and stay. They can if they wish purchase new ID for a couple hundred bucks , no problem. Some come with it already (Consider what’s in our WH today?)

Will Obama make Cuba the 59th state you mean?

Of course not. Don’t be silly. He will turn the USA in to Cuba’s 2nd state.
