They send Cubans, who come here seeking freedom back quite quickly, but Mexicans, who come from a free country, are offered amnesty...

Anyone this resourceful would be a boon to the US!!! Let em stay!

I say keep these guys here, just for the creativity of their method.
Between the truck and the car, they deserve entry.

Why is it that any Maxican can stroll across the border and reap the windfall of government handouts, while Cubans who escape from a communist prison state by making boats out of old cars (for God's sake) are summarily sent back to be shot or imprisoned? These Cubans should be treated as heroes.

It was probably the portholes on the fenders that gave them the idea....

Still image from television footage shows a U.S. Coast Guard (news - web sites) vessel approaching a group of Cubans, as they tried to sail a 1959 Buick converted into a boat through the Florida Straits towards the United States, on Feburary 3, 2004. The same group had already tried last July to reach Florida in a vessel made from a 1951 Chevy truck, only to be picked up by the Coast Guard and sent home, relatives in Cuba and Cuban exiles said on Wednesday. The Coast Guard intercepted the bright green Buick-boat on Tuesday during its journey over the 90-mile (140-km) stretch between Cuba and Florida, exile groups said.

That's ingenuity! Four of the folks on the Buick were on this truck!

Since the Buick was an American made car, and as large as Rhode Island, we should say it was American territory and let them in. ;) Or we could send them back and anxiously wait on their next Monster boat.

This is their second attempt, they are doomed if they go back.
Say do they still have the car? I know a car show that would welcome the opportuntity to feature it in a display!

Let these freedom seekers stay!
The second offenders would surely face a harsh future should they be returned. How could George W. Bush justify returning these political refugees, while permitting illegal Mexican aliens who are not seeking freedom, but US taxpayer handouts to stay?
