Pretty tough to find the word "ILLEGAL" in the Cuban Adjustment Act I see...
BTW, whatever happened to your E.O. 12807 nonsense? Looks like you are hiding from that also.
Which has absolutely no bearing on the use of the terms, bjs. I don't perceive either term as being inherently pejorative. Do you?

I'm not hiding from anything, bjs. Are you getting a case of secondary umbrage from our friend Luis?
What E.O. 12807 nonsense, bjs? It remains the genesis of the wet feet / dry feet policy, what more can I say? Signed by G.H.W. Bush in 1992, and contains no exceptions for any nationalities. Take a look at the USCG site, if you want to know what basis they use for their interdictions at sea.
