Ever body is so up in arms about the illegals, what about the Cubans that are granted amnesty? opinions please

Question

This wet foot-dry foot law kills me. It does not matter if you are a rapist, murderer, child molester etc.......... This does happen quite often, I know I live here. They are no better than the illegals, as far as depleting resources. What do you all think?

God I know I dislike them all LOL! I just wish the Coast Guard could move those boats a little faster at times those b**tards are sneaky and quick, even on palm fronds damn don't know how they do it!

I understand why, however I know other immigrants in this country, that have come from communist countries that have had to wait 10 years, pay 12,000 in attorneys fees, take an exam and pay taxes while waiting to become citizens never just handed to them. Tell me what is the difference.

Yes, people from other countries here on work visas that have applied for citizenship and are awaiting it for many years, and work in this country pay taxes like everyone else. If everyone thinks that every Cuban that comes here is an asset look up the crime stats in Miami Dade county and many Cubans till you live here and watch my NEWS every night than you can talk! Facts straight, I witness it everyday of my life that's my fact!

Answer 1

I also feel this law is outdated and should be abolished. In fact, just tonight, I watched a show on TV that said that some years back the Cuban government released all of their worst criminals and put them on shoddy boats aimed towards the USA in order to get rid of their worst criminals and take advantage of the stupid foot on dry land law for Cubans. I don't understand why the USA isn't quicker at changing laws that are outdated. Other countries are so quick to take advantage and they obviously keep right up to the minute on what our laws are.

Regardless, we still have laws about immigration and I want them enforced and I want ALL illegal immigrants deported and I want this done asap, regardless of the cost, because I believe the cost will be less to the American taxpayers in the long run. If our immigration laws are outdated, they should be updated, and if things take too long, they should be changed so that applications can be expedited, but the USA has a right to determine who they want for immigrants and how many of them they want and where they should live and what types of jobs they will do. It is unfair that they flock to certain states and towns and so overburdening the social services, school systems, corrections systems, and medical care of those areas. With proper immigration systems, people are told where they can go. The immigrants aren't the ones to decide where they will go - the government has the say as to where they can go. With illegal immigration - they flock to wherever they want and this causes some areas to be overburdened and without the proper tax basis to support them and actually causing a negative effect on the legal US citizens and immigrants in those areas.

There is a real, sane reason why a country should have a say in who gets in and where they will go.

Answer 2

Maybe not better, but sure as hell smarter for working up a deal with the US Government to let them in. They have political asylum. They fled the country for political reasons, and since the US said they would help the Cubans fight communism, then turn their backs on them, they let the Cubans in. Well, that's not necessarily true. Anyone can get political asylum in the US, because of persecution. By the way, according to the US census, 23% of Cubans over the age of 25 have a bachelor's degree, which is more that can be said for other minorities.
In addition, many Cubans who arrived in the United States over the past several decades came for political asylum and with a higher level of education, while many Mexican-Americans immigrated to take low-paying jobs and had less educational achievement.

Why don't you do a little research before opening your mouth? Citizenship is not granted to the Cubans. They have to take the test too. Meanwhile, paying taxes!!!!!! I have no idea where you're getting your information from, but it's all wrong.

If you're going to be racist or prejudice, at least have facts to back it up with.

Answer 3

Cuba is not Mexico. Cuba is communist, Mexico has a free market and damn well more than able to take care of it's citizens. It is a travesty that a hate group was able to classify Mexico as Cuban to allow more illegals in under the law.

The Cubans in Miami have already tried to colonize for Cuba but didn't suceed. The Mexicans are.

Big difference between the two.

You want source? Boy do I got sources.

Answer 4

Massive immigration, legal or illegal, has very similar economic consequences. The question is, are these people coming still people we think are persecuted to the point where they need asylum, or is it just that our country doesn't like theirs?

I don't know the answer to that question, so I can't say whether I think they should get asylum.

If the federal government fails to enforce laws against illegal immigration or grants asylum to groups to the point where education and services are severely depleted, I think the federal government should pay the costs, and tax the employers of the immigrants for it. It might make them more sensitive to the true cost of excess immigration, on all fronts.

Answer 5

Cubans escaped a communist nation. Illegal are not escaping any type of persecution. And in the 80's, amnesty was granted to illegals, and it has not stopped the problem since. Why can't those countries provide for its ppl and get their economy moving and producing a living wage?

Answer 6

Deport them. contained in the destiny, amnesty might want to fee the U.S. billions. The very last 7 amnesties were depressing failures and yet another might want to also be. Many illegals reported they'd 'ignored out' in getting amnesty, yet were right here. (Ya, effective). Then right here got here all their kinfolk also wanting the amnesty. do not enable this can of worms to be opened back. a million. In 1986, A blanket amnesty for 2.7 million unlawful extraterrestrial beings promised a lot more advantageous enforcement yet did not set any criteria for really mark downs in unlawful immigration. 2. In 1994, section 245(i) Amnesty gave criminal position of abode and jobs to 578,000 unlawful extraterrestrial beings. It turned right into a non everlasting rolling amnesty basically for nuclear kinfolk of immigrants who instead of waiting in line, come on to the rustic illegally. 3. In 1997 An extension of the realm 245(i) rolling amnesty noted an increasing quantity of unlawful immigration. 4. In 1997, Then there became an amnesty for on the brink of one million unlawful extraterrestrial beings from wide-spread united states. 5. In 1998, Then we were given an amnesty for 100 twenty 5,000 unlawful extraterrestrial beings from Haiti. 6. In 2000, And, for sure, the so-called previous due Amnesty, legalizing yet another four hundred,000 unlawful extraterrestrial beings who claimed that they ignored out on the 1986 amnesty. 7. In 2000 the life Act Amnesty for an predicted 900,000 unlawful extraterrestrial beings became yet another reinstatement of the rolling section 245(i) amnesty., an predicted 900,000 unlawful extraterrestrial beings.

Answer 7

Because Cuba is a communist dictatorship several years ago the people that were thrown out of that country lobbied congress to pass a bill giving amnesty to any one who fled the country and successfully made it to the US.

We actually give asylum to anyone that is fleeing a country because of persecution. The people coming from Mexico and the rest of Latin American are fleeing anything but poverty.

Answer 8

Opinions, please?? Okay, here's my opinion: You're a pampered, unsophisticated, closet bigot with paranoid and schizophrenic tendencies, and all of your questions are pointedly ignorant and not THE LEAST BIT based in fact! Ease up on your "Scarface" mentality, and open your mind to something called respect and tolerance! You pass yourself off as someone so rich in experience, and you've probably never even said Boo to a person from Cuba in your pathetic life!! Because if you had, you wouldn't feel as though you had to "lower yourself" to their level in order to have any kind of intelligent dialogue whatsoever! Try walking a mile in someone else's shoes before you pass judgment on entire races of people! Do you honestly expect anyone to belief that you have such a wealth of experience, just because, "I know, I live here". What kind of mindless sh*t is that?! And in the future, you might try not to embarrass yourself with the kinds of STUPID questions with which you CONTINUALLY bombard this forum!!

Answer 9

That law sucks wind, too!! It should be abolished!! Who the He!! knows their CUBAN! Illegal Latino's from ANYWHERE could go there and CLAIM to be CUBAN, touch the beach and be within the law! Most Americans wouldn't know the difference. CUBANS shouldn't be allowed to do it, now that we are "SUPPOSE" to have heightened Homeland Security. Go figure!!

Answer 10

There are far less cubans than mexicans, and you don't have to worry about them sending $50 billion back to cuba once they become americans. Secondly, they want to become citizens, most mexicans just want to work and have no desire to become citizens which is a drain on our rarest resource, JOBS.
