His lawyer, John Mills of Jacksonville, Fla., said that Benitez and the others ``face the very real possibility of spending the rest of their lives incarcerated, not because of any crimes they may have committed, but because their countries will not take them back.''

And that our fault how???

Cuba has thousands of people who will spend the rest of their lives incarcerated because of their political beliefs. How is this guy different? Because he's a criminal? He deserves better treatment???

Well, it's our cell doors, and our keys. Or do you want to go around whining "look what Castro made me do!"?

Relax "big brother". The lawyer didn't say it was anyone's fault. No one is blaming you for anything. The lawyer is just being a lawyer and he is stating his defense case for his client. In opinion if someone has been punished for their crimes, they should be able to go free. From what I read and understand, the illegals have served their time for their crimes, but now they have nowhere to go. The tough question is what do we do with them. Kill them? Keep them locked up until they die; which will cost money (something im sure you don't like). It's a tough decision for any reasonable man.
