I thought we were supposed to welcome refugees with open arms? No borders and whatnot… never mind.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is ending a longstanding immigration policy that allows any Cuban who makes it to U.S. soil to stay and become a legal resident, a senior administration official said Thursday.
The repeal of the “wet foot, dry foot” policy is effective immediately, according the official. The decision follows months of negotiations focused in part on getting Cuba to agree to take back people who had arrived in the U.S.
[…]
The official said the Cubans gave no assurances about treatment of those sent back to the country, but said political asylum remains an option for those concerned about persecution if they return.
Yet another handout to a tyrannical regime in return for nothing. A lot of Cubans yearning to breathe free will pay the price for Obama’s love of this Communist regime.
Basic liberal problem…they view Cuba as something to be strived for.
Even though the human flow wants out of Cuba….which is liberalism in full practice.
Liberals are morally disgusting on this. Immigrants seeking freedom from Marxist/liberal oppression should be welcomed.
We have a duty to free as many sould from evils of Marxism as possible.
Wait, so Cubans should be welcomed with open arms, but Mexicans should be round up and sent back? All because of the government of the origin country?
Is Mexico a tyrannical liberal Marxist regime like Cuba?
What does the political philosophy of the home nation have to do with whether or not we accept the refugees ?
We are the great refuge from liberal policy tyranny.
I know that is hard to accept because liberals hate this country.
Kevin… do you take meds for your delusional liberal nightmares? That could be considered a pre-existing condition. You may want to look into that with your insurance provider soon.
And you never answered the question. Should we open our borders to all communist regime citizens that want to come in? Or just because Obama did this you are against it? There are plenty of tyrannical governments that are not communist, do they get a free pass as well?
Jonnyv,
If you want to read a great history book, read Radical Son by David Horowitz.
In it, he documents his academic professor liberal parents through the 40s, 50s, and early 60s on how them, and liberal academia worshipped the Societ/Eastern bloc asd Marxist/liberal policy to be strived for. In it, he details the crushing intellectual blow to his parents, and all liberal academia, when all the details about Stalin’s butchery started to leak out of the Soviet bloc.
Once you have a proper historical basis to discuss the subject, we can engage on the co-conspiracy liberalism plays in constantly destroying human rights today around the world.
Um… The 60’s were 50 years ago. Quite literally a lifetime ago. And getting one person’s point of view isn’t something I am looking for. Thanks.
BUT… you still haven’t answered any of the questions.
“liberals hate this country”.
So says Kevin, arbiter of truth.
America haters like Kerry and Gore volunteered for the military. Good conservatives like cheney and trump dodged the draft.
When did you sign up? Me =Jan 1970.
Jonnyv,
I’ve noticed liberals want to bury their historical duplicity in aiding the Soviet/Eastern Bloc’s destruction of human rights.
When you take that into proper context, then you can properly evaluate the natural human rights result (disaster every time) of centralized liberal/Marxist policies.
Kevin… enough about the past. Lets talk about NOW.
Why don’t you answer the questions that we posed above.
I use to have a liberal corporate legal hack tell me ( after a decade of screwing my constituents);
“Don’t look to the past; look to the future.”
As if they were all of a sudden “good guys” now with their nonsensical future plans.
You remind me of that guy that wants to fail to learn from history because you want a “reset” on failure.
“nonsensical future plans”.
Compared to planning for the past that liberal fella seems pretty astute.
