Another Mariel Boat-Lift is coming?

Posted on 06/27/2002 12:23:28 AM PDT by StopDemocratsDotCom

Anyone remember the Cuban Mariel boat lift of the 1980's? This is when thousands of Cubans packed dozens of boats and came to the US in the 1980's. I just read a report that Castro said a few hours ago that he may rip up all US-CUBA immigration accords and even close down the US interest office in Havana. I think he will do this to try to hurt Bush and this nation. He has used his people's desperation to get back at his enemies and I'm afraid he may do this. Lets all hope it's all talk. Just wanted to give everyone the heads up.

Well, I remember the Mariel Boatlift of the Seventies. When Jimmy Carter shot his mouth off to Castro and Fidel opened the jails and mental wards to take up any slack space on the boats headed for Miami.

Castro can go ahead and rip up anything he likes. If you think he's gonna allow another mass exodus, I think you're wrong.
