"We're not embarrassed at all," McDonald said. "It's not uncommon for them (Cubans) to have landings." That's great. Just put (Islamists) in the parenthesis and it suddenly gets a lot more than embarrassing. Oh well, when they can just walk in through Mexico why bother with a boat?

I'm glad they made it. The policy of returning fleeing Cuban refugees is ridiculous and immoral. I'm angry that Bush has continued this disgusting Clinton policy.

If news articles came with sound effects, this one would have a trumpet with the muting thing in it going "wa, wa, wa, WAAAAAAHHHHH!"

Is it immoral to return refugees to Communist China?

"We're not embarrassed at all," McDonald said.And then added, "because we just motor our boats around and get paid. Once in a while we'll do a little fishing and then we'll pull our boats upon the beach and have a little fish fry and talk about the ONES that got away".

Get your thinking cap on.
You can't compare the 2 nations. China's ecomony is bustling and vibrant.
Cuba's is decadent and macabre.

Guatemala's economy hasn't been doing too well. Should Guatemalans be granted asylum?

Cuba's is decadent and macabre. FYI...I think you're misusing both words.

Some people need to have the dots connected...and you are one of them.
A vibrant economy leads to increased democracy. That is China.
A crony Communist dictatorship such as the one in Cuba controls every facet of life. That is Cuba.
To compare Guatemala...a free nation...with Cuba, a oppressed nation with a degenerate leadership, is ridiculous and ignorant.
