The Case For Another Cuban Boatlift

---SNIP-- In the years prior, President Jimmy Carter had, like Obama is now, attempted diplomacy with Cuba. Detecting an opportunity, he agreed to accept 3,500 of these refugees. But this figure was quickly surpassed when Miami’s Cuban ex-pats began flooding the port with boats to pick up their families. Rather than discouraging this technically-illegal act, Carter welcomed it, and from April to October of 1980, 125,000 Cubans came to America

No offense to Cubans, Mexicans, Syrians, or any other group, we need a moratorium on open immigration.

We need to assimilate what we have here now.

We need to send a lot of people home who are here illegally or represent a serious threat to our nation, either physically, or to our culture.

Sharia Law, cannot get ensconced here.

It’s time to confront these issues.

Wouldn’t surprise me that Numbnuts will come up with a CUBAN Supreme Court nominee.

I lived in Homestead during the first boatlift. Nightmare. Looks like it’s about to happen again. Right before the election I’m sure.

[ClearCase_guy]

Agreed.

All immigration should stop. We’ve done it before. We need to get back to Assimilation and the melting pot idea. I don’t want to deal with people who can’t speak English.

And all government forms and all government business should be done in English only.

[Dagnabitt]

Correct. We are destroying our homeland through limitless open borders. Hispanic voters hand power to left wing whites who share their hostility to American sovereignty and promise them free sh-t. As a result, the electoral college is nearly a lock now for the Left.

[DoughtyOne]

Probably so...

I hope it doesn’t hit your area hard again.

[DoughtyOne]

I agree on all counts.

[DoughtyOne]

Well, whether a lock or not, it’s much closer than it should be.

C'mon. Let him stay.

[tumblindice]

I can think of a few groups, malcontents and criminals, I would like to see put on boats to Cuba where they might be happier.

[blueplum]

How about, ‘a case for regime change in Cuba’ ? It’s not like it’s a strategic nightmare to accomplish - they’re 90 miles away.

[M1903A1]

Have we so soon forgotten that Castro took advantage of the Mariel boatlift to empty his prisons and asylums and dump them off on us? SMDH....

[refermech]

5 year moratorium on all immigration. Starting now.

[DoughtyOne]

25 and I’m in.

We’ve got a full generation of work to do.
