And USA today Sucks! :)
---------------------------
Oh yeah, it definitely sucks, especially when I see so-called "conservatives" carrying on over an illegal immigrant. His feet didn't touch dry land, so he should have been sent back to his immediate family in Cuba after being rescued. If they had done that, we wouldn't have the controversy about it now. How come none of you express the same outrage over political asylum seekers from China who have their appeals rejected and get sent back to that country along with their families? China's human rights abuses are certainly far worse than Cuba's. In fact, would any of you have protested as much if Elian had been Chinese, or Vietnamese, or North Korean? And I'm sure most of you supported Proposition 187, which denied education access to the children of illegal immigrants in California. I have no love for Fidel Castro or Janet "We had to burn those kids to save 'em" Reno, but the utter hypocrisy and double standards that many people have on this issue makes me sick. Immigration seems to be made special for the Cubans, and it's ridiculous.
And to anyone I p***ed off with this post, oh well. If the Mariel boat lift didn't change your mind about the Cuban immigration issue, I don't know what will.
