Just keep telling yourselves what the liberals want you to believe, that Cuba is a paradise and these people risking their lives to come to America are foolish for leaving it behind.

That said, these Cubans are some pretty industrious folks, we could use more people like that here (if they legally enter the country mind you). That is not just something that somebody threw together, whoever did that obviously thought out quite a bit.

"...if they legally enter the country mind you..."

That's what's so screwy about this whole thing.

Up until the moment a person is physically standing on US soil, they are not breaking any laws, it is the act of BEING in the country without INS status that makes an alien an "illegal".

Yet, the moment Cuban rafters physically touch US soil, they are covered under the Cuban-American Act of 1966, and receive special status from the INS, so that they are not "illegal".

That's why the USCG intercepts them at sea.
