We currently have an F’d up policy on Cuban illegals.

“Wet foot” = Deported.
But “Dry foot”, having managed to reach our shore, = Get to stay.

This is inconsistent with our stated immigration policy for every other country.
It is ridiculous to have a split policy for any country, “Dry foot” should be deported too, they are just as illegal, but luckier to have reached shore before being caught.

So Cuba gets to use us as their safety valve, no real change will come to Cuba as those who get truly fed up leave, or are allowed to leave, even occasionally encouraged to leave.
The “safety valve” aspect is similar to Mexico.

We must have a simple and consistent policy, no favoritism for any reason.
Illegal = illegal = deported, NO exceptions for any reason.

If their country is crap, then THEY need to fix it, that might not be easy, too bad, they should not have let it get so foul to begin with.

We had our revolution, it was not painless.
They should not be allowed to take the easy way out and exploit our forefathers sacrifices at no cost to themselves.

I have reached the point that I would like to see a moratorium on ALL “immigration” for at least ten years, we need a breather to catch up with all the “Immigrants” legal and not, who are already here.
We have enough unemployed, stop importing more!

So you mean the new immigrants, I thought you mean all the Cubans who came here years ago. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
