First, the oldest discriminatory policy is one that lets Cubans who have left Cuba for the United States enter and stay in the United States despite their illegal entry. That policy is accomplished by the use of the discretionary authority conferred on the Executive Branch in our immigration law to parole an alien into the country despite the lack of proper documentation. As a result of being paroled into the country, the Cuban illegal entrants are given a work permit. That policy has been in effect for decades - since the Castro-led revolution declared itself to be communist and allied with the Soviet Union in the early 1960s.
In 1994, under the threat of a new massive wave of illegal immigration from Cuba like the Mariel boatlift of 1980 during which the Castro regime facilitated an exodus of about 125,000 Cubans among whom he planted hard-core criminals, mental patients and spies, the Clinton Administration restricted the blanket parole of Cuban illegal immigrants. President Clinton announced a 'wet-foot dry-foot' policy in which only those Cubans who set foot on U.S. soil ('dry-foot') would benefit from the earlier blanket policy of parole into the country. Those who were intercepted by the U.S. Coast Guard or Navy at sea ('wet-foot') would be given an opportunity to assert a claim to refugee status, i.e., that they would face persecution if they were returned to Cuba, and, if they could present no compelling case for refugee protection, they would be returned to Cuba.
So I dont think there are any illegal Cubans from the sound of this.
It was Clinton in 1994 not Bush that did the wet foot dry foot thing.

They comprehend. they arrive that way commonplace. that's not in basic terms a extreme issue in the southwest. that's a extreme issue in the process the southern component of the country. To a smaller quantity, that's a issue with the completed united states of america!

What do I think? Hmmm they should be sent back to Cuba. If the illegals from Mexico and Central America can't be here, then the Cubans can't be here either.

There is no such thing. You forget the wet foot dry foot rule. If a Cuban refugee makes it to the shore they are in. That rule was made by President Bush in 2000.

How about we pay Mexican warlords more money to terrorize the people trying to cross the border?
