They need to let these guys in. We need creative people like that who are willing to risk their lives for freedom.

Classy ride there...

Whatta flashback---We built gunboats for the river fleet in veetnam using the same basic method----Building in floatation and adding high speed bows to old landing craft. If this guy had added an 80 MM mortar tube to the top he could have re-invaded Cuber. That thing might be tough enough to make the return trip. With an xtra jimmy 671 he could have outrun the Coasties.

Last night FOX said they had proper visas so maybe they're safe anyway. Curious whether taxi guy offered to give the Coasties a tow?

I'm really sick and tired of my tax dollars being used to "intercept" these resourceful people and sink their wonderful makeshift boats. The money would be better spent welcoming them with open arms, giving them special visa status, and setting up a military base to house, train and equip them all to go take back their country. In a couple of years, there would be no more Cuba problem.

Fox said they had visas so maybe they just went to Cuber to keep their dental appointment?

only if they are willing to become citizen's. I'm tired of my tax dollars going to support those who are here just to be supported by our government. They should be coming here just like my grandparents did, with money in their pocket & becoming a citizen before going to the mainland. Then finding work, which should be no problem!

You gotta love these guys.


I just wish when one of the leftists starts waxing about how keen Cuba is, someone would counterpoint,

Yes, that free Cuban schooling must be great, look at all the
innovation in the field of engineering cars into boats it has born....

Yes and the ratio should be about 10,000 to one. Dems for Cubans that is...one way tickets only. THEN let us hear about their "anti-Americanism"....any bets??
