It hasn't.
So the policy started by Clinton, I think, is ending as the worst occupant of the Oval Office in history is leaving.
Mixed feelings on this--it was instituted, supposedly, to have mercy on people fleeing communism. Those fleeing the poverty of Haiti, etc. are not given that privilege.
My guess is Marco will be voting for T-Rex after all...
Trump to Rubio:Hey l..uh Marco. Absolutely terrible what Obama did today. I am thinking about reversing it on day one. Say, i really like what your doing for florida. Ya know, rex he’s a winner just like those Cuban americans. Ivankas on the other line gotta go. Viva free cuba
What a legacy, for the first time ever, America would return refugees to tyranny. How disgusting. Good thing the Jews of WW 2 were not depending on Obama.
Cuban-Americans Voted for Trump at Higher Rate than White Americans
THERE'S YOUR ANSWER!
So if us hating Mexicans swimming the Rio Grande makes us bigots, does this mean Obama is a Cuban hating bigot?
Cubans, wrong hispanics. They vote Republican. Best way to enter the US from Cuba is to put on a sombrero and enter through Mexico as a potential democrat vote.
Castro’s stooge is still sucking up to the Communist State.
Why do those fleeing narcoterrorists or “AIDS prejudice” get priority over those fleeing Communists or anti-Christian religious genocide?
I believe that if you check, it was started by Nixon.
Probably did the right thing by accident. Raul has sent 10s of thousands of Cubans to the US to get on the “refugee” welfare gravy train and send their winnings back to support “la revolucion”.
So Obama finally found an immigrant group he doesn’t like - those fleeing Communism. What other country now shoots people for trying to leave? He’d probably throw back those escaping North Korea too.
A case could be made for this policy, his timing proves him to be a coward.
But will the leftists cry out how the POTUS is racist for denying entry to Cuban refugees who risk their lives to get here on rafts made of buckets and barrels and scrap wood?
You will not hear a peep out of the MSM about it.
Can’t wait for him to be gone
As much as I want to show mercy to those fleeing the Castro regime it seems that the policy is both an insult to people from other islands (like Haiti) that are fleeing utter poverty and/or banana republic dictators, as well as a cowardly ‘solution’ to abandoning the Cuban people at the Bay of Pigs. I think it’s time to scrap it.
I had the opportunity to work with and know as friends many Cubans down in south Florida off and on for years. They are a truly unique people. Hell, I even married one.
They work their butts off, don’t complain, treat people very nice, and are almost 100% Christian. They love freedom, and turn into the biggest pro-America patriots. They value education, assimilate as fast as they can, and are not all about saving their culture, like you see from Puerto Ricans, and Mexicans, and other hyphenated tribes-of-the-perpetually-aggrieved.
They vote republican, hate communists, and love America. Only other ethnic group I can compare them too is maybe the Polish in their attitude.
I truly hope Trump immediately reverses this vindictive obama turd in the punchbowl.
Here’s the real reason: WAY TOO MANY CUBANS VOTE REPUBLICAN.
Wonder what the Communist Pope thinks of this?
I think that Obama thought by normalizing relations with Cuba, that no more Cubans would risk their life to get away, but it apearently didn’t work out that way, so this is his solution, send them all back,
