Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas had a stern warning Tuesday for Cubans and Haitians thinking of escaping the ongoing unrest in both countries by sailing to the US: Don’t even think about it.
“The time is never right to attempt migration by sea,” Mayorkas said during a news conference. “To those who risk their lives doing so, this risk is not worth taking. Allow me to be clear: If you take to the sea, you will not come to the United States.”
Mayorkas, whose own family fled Cuba for the United States following Fidel Castro’s rise to power, added that any would-be refugees intercepted by the Coast Guard or any other law enforcement agency would be returned to their country of origin. Those who could provide what Mayorkas called a “well-founded fear of persecution or torture” would be referred to other countries for resettlement.
“They will not enter the United States,” the DHS secretary added.
According to Mayorkas, 20 people have lost their lives in recent weeks attempting to traverse the Straits of Florida and the Caribbean Sea.

Wait, so we allow Mexico border wide open, let in refugees…but we block Cubans? I wonder why we would that…oh…. I see… Cubans vote Republican.
shameless tyranny.
pedophiles, rapists, fentanyl dealers, MS-13 welcome.
but conservatives and those fleeing Communism
will be sent be to be executed.
“They will not enter the United States,” the DHS secretary added.

No no no. We don’t actually admit real REFUGEES. What we want are illegal ‘economic’ migrants from the continental border! -DHS
Racist Dems don’t want CONSERVATIVE, PRO-American, Cubans here!
Cubans wanting the freedom of the U.S. arent bringing in drugs and sex slaves. Therefor NO, we don’t want them..
They'll come, all wearing Biden T shirts
The Cubans are wise to the evils of socialism. They won’t become mindless Democrats voters so they are not welcome.
“Don’t try to reach America by boat”
RIGHT-come in through Mexico like everyone else!!
Not suggesting a Bay of Pigs redux. But, I would like to see a strong well trained para military force pulled together, trained and supported by ex special operator contractors (we have sixteen thousand in Afghanistan that will be looking for employment soon). I’m guessing that after over sixty years of communist rule much of the fervor and zeal has disapated and much of Cuban military will flip sides.
What a flaming hypocrite! Wow
The good ship America is full and sinking fast. There is no need for more to fit on it. If there is always a relief valve in the form of fleeing to America, there will never be fixes to the countries they flee from.
He probably gave a wink, when he said “Haitians”.
Actual productive refugees fleeing tyranny need not apply.
“Don’t try getting here by boat. We’re sending planes.”
Good advice; its much safer to pay human smugglers to get you in via Mexico and then NGOs and DHS will take care of you once you reach the US.
In other words, we don’t need people that want freedom. We’re doing all we can to get rid of those people.
Mayorkas is an anchor baby. He should be deported back to Cuba.
