As you may know, I came to the U.S. with my parents from Cuba in 1964. In other words, I sympathize with Cubans who want to leave the failed communist state but it should be done in an orderly fashion. What we are seeing today is not orderly. In fact, it's reminiscent of the Mariel episode 42 years ago when Fidel Castro openly encouraged 100,000 to leave.
Cuba is an economic mess today. So the government is once again sending people north, but using the Mexico corridor to do so.
This is from Julio M. Shilling via Babalu in Miami. In his post, Julio details how the Castro regime has used immigration to get rid of people:
The psychology behind the Castro-Communist scheme is rudimentary.
If Cubans find it plausible to leave the country in the hope of reaching the land of liberty, settling in the exile communities across numerous American states (FL, NJ, NY, IL, CA, NV, TX, and KY), the communist dictatorship is betting that challenges to its authority will subside.
As portions of Cuban society plot their exit, the Castro regime safely concludes that people will be preoccupied with leaving and living free and prosperous abroad, as opposed to miserable, rebellious, and oppressed on the island.
As my father used to say: A Cuban in the U.S. is one less person that the Castro regime has feed or keep in a political prison.
Over time, the Cuban government has reacted to domestic turmoil by letting people leave.

For America’s globalists, the USA’s new borders are in places like Ukraine, Kosovo and Syria. That’s where they fight
Texas and Arizona are our old borders. They don’t exist any longer
Remember to re-elect your Amnesty Senators Hoeven and Rubio!
the U.S. had a policy of granting asylum to any Cuban who made it to U.S. soil. Obama ended that policy.
So now Cubans have to come in through Mexico like everybody else.
We NEVER are sent the best & the brightest.
A strong president would have told Putin, you invade Ukraine, we liberate Cuba and Venezuela. End of conversation.
We are getting people from 160 different nations along the SW border. In El Centro there is one small area in which 95% of illegal aliens come across. One day of construction is all it would take to shut that area down but DC refuses to do it.
BOTH parties.
We have been promised a fence since 1986 when they passed the first amnesty.
All they have done since is push for more amnesty.
Why can’t Cubans, Mexicans and Central Americans fix their own damned countries.?
We’re told so many time what great workers they are. If that’s the case, why are their countries such s**t holes?
We need to go back to pre-1965 levels of immigration- 300,000 a year.
