capricious

adj 1: changeable; "a capricious summer breeze"; "freakish weather" [syn: freakish] 2: determined by chance or impulse or whim rather than by necessity or reason; "a capricious refusal"; "authoritarian rulers are frequently capricious"; "the victim of whimsical persecutions" [syn: impulsive, whimsical]

Also, all of my posts have been my personal opinion. I'm regurgitating some things I have seen in the news over the years... this doesn't make me an authority and I'm not pretending to be one. I'm not paid by the State Dept to defend their policy positions. Pointing out that there is no lengthy review process because they are covered under another act... big, flippin' deal. Asylum seekers and refugees still go through a review process regardless of the act or executive order covering them.

The fact is still that the rules are known and the risks are accepted by those who test them. Those who don't want to risk making it to shore, negotiate ahead of time (remember the baseball player, Hernandez?). Do I think it makes sense that there's a different set of rules for those who step out of 1 ft of water? No, but again, these rules are the result of years of evolution through disparate situations. They will evolve again.

How many times does someone have to ask you to go away before you get the hint?

With whom?

Do you have the name or phone number of the person a Cuban in the island can call to "negotiate?"

Do you know of any case where an average Cuban has done this "negotiation?"

The Hernandez case is not applicable. He was already in dry land, Bahamas, and a complicated arrangement was workout for himself because of his star status. Again, capricious.

You don't own this board, dear. You keep repeating false information, and you will find people who refutes it.
