Lesson: Always take out the commies when they are about to collapse under the sheer weight of their malignant incompetence. They must be held to account.

They have infiltrated our society through their Dirección de Inteligencia (DI), the Intelligence Directorate.

Regarding H-1Bs, here is the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service’s data hub of H-1B employers, where you can down Excel files of data :

https://www.uscis.gov/tools/reports-and-studies/h-1b-employer-data-hub

If calculate the totals, you will see that they’re steadily rising over the years. Essentially, slowly boiling a frog while it’s still alive.

Note that the dropdown selector for state codes includes these non-states :

AA - Armed Forces - Americas
AE - Armed Forces - Europe
AP - Armed Forces - Pacific
AS - American Samoa
GU - Guam
MP - Marianas Protectorate
PR - Puerto Rico
VI - U.S. Virgin Islands
XX - Not in U.S./Error

U.S. employers are now considering work-arounds to H-1Bs :

On this page,

https://www.uscis.gov/tools/reports-and-studies/immigration-and-citizenship-data

download this document, and calculate the totals. It amounts to around 10 million LEGAL applications for 3 fiscal quarters, of which the latter 2 (minus 20 days in January 2025) were at the start of President Trump’s 2nd term :

The Mexican Navy flexes their muscle! Rescue ships arrive with aid. Trump will have to figure out another way to starve the Cubans.

I’ve flipped a couple of houses. Lived in the squalor while remodeling dilapidated houses.

I could picture doing it on a grand scale in that country on the cheap. They’d just have to work hard, something communism doesn’t require. Put the whole country to work manually. We’d just have to supply the cheap hand tools and gloves. Pay them cheap and they’ll be too tired to be angry. Once the place is ‘gutted’ we can restore the great architectural heritage. Gay(tasteful) contractors would supervise it best. A few outdoor amphitheaters where loud latin music can be played with our modern sound systems. It would be awesome.

“and modern cars in the streets”

Screw the “modern cars”. The classic cars on Cuba streets might be a dream for Mecum five years from now. There must be a lot of experts there with the skills to maintain them.

Bring the cars here. Hot August Nights would be fantastic. Send them old Ford Fiestas and Rangers-sound familiar? Keep them locked into American autos and keep out the other countries by executive order. Little money involved for the trades so it can be spent on construction materials.
I’d even give them free gas from the SPR. It’s strategic isn’t it?

Then there’s the unfinished business. Exposing their secret service personnel and all the enforcers-just like Iran. They’ll go heading for the tall grass in Nicaragua or Spain(if they got the money).

Noooooo! We don’t need another welfare state. Cuba is in a state of shock now that their socialism has failed. Our only involvement shiuld be to teach free market economy values beginning with trade.

Amen. They need to be run back home on a chutney-greased rail.

Eventually, the Cuban Communist Party will have to accept the elements of a free market economy.

The Chinese Communist Party was able to do that.

“Bring the cars here. “

Yes. That’s why I mentioned Mecum. The Kissimmee events would be awesome.

“Big money in those cars.”

Definitely. We watch Mecum a lot, and see what people are paying for them. I know nothing about the mechanics of cars, but most of the pre-’80s on the block are works of art. I want a ‘61 Impala convertible.

Is it a sign of communism that we have mostly boring cars that all look alike, and only come in three or four colors? (I’m going with “communism”; it’s my story and I’m sticking to it! 😊)

Yeah, remember how the Iraqis were going to love us?

Invasions are seldom welcomed by populations.
