Yea, and don't forget all the Cubans he allowed into this country.

Just curious, what is your objection to letting Cubans into this country?
Might I remind you, if it wasn't for Cubans being allowed into this country, you'd be coming home from voting in a primary against President Gore right now. Cubans are overwhelmingly conservative, and vote that way.
There's a hell of a lot of things I can't stand about Carter, but his letting Cubans who risk their lives to escape the communist gulag they're in into our country was not one of them.
And Clinton -not- letting them in, but shipping them back to Castro (no matter what their age), that's something that just makes him an entire order of magnitude more despicable to me. The wet-foot-dry-foot policy wasn't just a sick exercise in survival of the fittest, it was just outright murder.
If you've got a problem with illegal immigration, hey, so do I, but I wouldn't start with one of the few immigrant groups that really has life-or-death reasons to be fleeing their country, that has -no place else to go-, that consistently vote Republican, that really appreciate America, that have an excellent work ethic, and that have always been pretty darn good at assimilating into our culture (well, outside of Miami at least).
