It's a white flight wave down there while property values are dropping like the proverbial rock. Something about people needing bars on their windows and company going to ATMs...
no kidding
wonder how they are treating the last Bush memo around here
no more trying to parse where he stands
This is a joke right? Nobody ever said that an expired Visa doesn't make somebody illegal.
Do you have an actual point that you are arguing with?
I never said otherwise. I know people who came here on the Mariel boat lift....during which thousands of criminals from Castro's jails were shipped to the US.
I just don't believe in punishing the majority who simply are looking for a better life, for a minority of criminals.
How dare you compare Cubans looking for freedom from Marxist tyranny to illegals from Mexico just looking for better paying jobs or the dole?
and the Cubans didn't come illegally
and btw Clinto made it harder for Cubans to get asylum here now reversing 35 years of precedence
has sweet caring pro-hispanic Presidente Jorge done squat to reverse that executive order?
Not!
God help us would that all these streaming in illegally now were anything like the early Cuban expat Patriots
but they are not
I really don't care where they came from. An illegal is an illegal, no exceptions, period. Anyone in this country illegally can get the hell out--now.
I care about where they come from legally....I want folks more likely to be assimilated and conservative....and limited to something practical
Used to be there was no such thing as Cuban illegals till Clinton changed it
1) I was responding to the idea that criminals from a country taint the rest of those who come from there.
Try to keep closer track of the exchange next time.
2) Regardless, I'll make any comparison I want with or without your approval.
I met plenty of people in Florida who made the exact same arguments against Cuban immigrants as you do against Mexicans.
I wonder if that had ANYTHING to do with the Mariel Boat Lift disaster under Jimmy Carter? Duh..
The unwillingness to come here Legally is all about lawbreaking, will always be about lawbreaking and deserves nothing but contempt for those who benefit by it and support it.
Furthermore this is no longer an issue just about jobs. This is an issue that has everything under the sun to do with our National Security.
Both borders, north and south are as wide open as they can be. Nobody will ever convince me that those who wish our destruction have not already figured that out and taken massive advantage of it.
Clinton stopped Cubans because he didn't like how they voted in SFL....even the criminals.
Cubans are very patriotic....and would never dream of this Azatlan crapola
My beef is not just Mexicans....but all illegals....wouldn't matter where they are from.
I want them to go home and come back slowly and orderly on temporary work permits like in the old days.
Cubans and Mexican illegals are simply not comparable in any respect except they both speak Spanish more or less.
Have fun Monday....will you and clawrence3 be on the same bus?
I want a realistic legal immigration policy.
I ant my borders, language and culture upheld and secure.
I will oppose Reconquista with all my might as well as what will be mostly a Dem voting bloc for generations.
You are on the right forum apparently Jorge and have an amnesty POTUS....we hope to change all that when the time comes. Keep marching....it's helping real Americans
I agree. They truly appreciate American freedom and values after living under that monster Castro.
There are more than 100,000 dead Cubans at the bottom of the Florida Straits attesting to this fact.
So do I.
Unfortunately, that isn't what we're getting.
