If the foot is dry, you can't say "bye bye."

I agree. These people should been allowed to say once they set foot on American soil. A rap at the Bush Administration for following the Clinton policy of deporting Cubans fleeing the island's Communist tyranny. Its shameful.

I wonder... why the federal hard line against Cuban immigrants, and such a soft touch with Mexican ones?

Why does the Coast Guard have jurisdiction to 'decide' who stays and who doesnt stay when they find them on U.S. property???

I thought this would be the decision of U.S. Immigration?

Coast Guard should 'detain' and hold anyone they deem suspect of illegally entering this country, but not 'decide' whether they stay or not once they are sitting on U.S. property. (I presume the bridge was
"U.S." property, if not, then who's country's property was it).

Haitians deserve similar treatment. But their black, so screw em.

The Cuban double standard is sickening.

The movie "True Lies" was filmed in this bridge. To claim that this "blown up" bridge is not part of the US is a stretch.

The judge is right

I would think the more relevant discussion to this thread than what is currently going on is HOW will this be enforced? Does anyone think Castro is going to let the 15 come back after they very publicly fled his oppressive government?
