Oh...so that's why the Biden camp is suddenly against granting asylum to refugee seekers from Cuba.

This is the most transparently ridiculous hypocrisy maybe EVER and it will go largely unreported.

Totally absurd.

So can we paint Biden as a racist xenophobic dictator all over the news like they did Trump??

I guess some refugees aren’t as important as others. Especially if they hate communism.

They will be killing many women and children, sending them back to persecution and death.

don't we still have the wet foot/dry foot agreement?


This was ended in Obama's last week in office.

quote:

President Obama issued a statement Thursday evening saying the U.S. is working to normalize relations with its one-time foe, and ending this policy was the next logical step.

"Effective immediately, Cuban nationals who attempt to enter the United States illegally and do not qualify for humanitarian relief will be subject to removal," Obama said. "By taking this step, we are treating Cuban migrants the same way we treat migrants from other countries."

The "wet foot, dry foot" policy, created by President Clinton in 1995, has generally allowed Cubans who simply touch U.S. soil to stay in the country. Those caught at sea are returned to Cuba. In exchange for the new policy, Cuba has agreed to start accepting Cubans who were issued a deportation order in the United States, something the communist nation has refused to do for decades.

The decision, formalized in a joint statement issued by both governments Thursday, comes as Obama tries to cement his historic opening of diplomatic relations with Cuba and one week before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

This one is very simple.
Cubans do not vote Democrat.
After what Bill Clinton did to Elian Gonzales, the Cubans will never forget.

Yet the southern border (with people they assume will vote Democrat) is wide open for anyone to enter.

It really is that simple.

I’d like to setup a 1:1 citizen trade system.

We’ll take 1 communist and socialist hating Cuban and send them back 1 hollywood elitist, antifa member, BLM backer who hate America, burn our flag, or kneel for our anthem. No take backs.

Let them go see just how terrible America is in what they deem as socialist utopias.

Show me where the last administration allowed them in? In fact he walked back policies that were in place and restricted travel there. Orange man just couldn't do any wrong though

That's the only two sentences necessary.

Can you imagine if the roles were reversed and the Trump admin openly turned away refugees because research showed they tend to identify as Democrats? The left in this country, Dem politicians, and the media would absolutely MELT DOWN. They would certainly try to impeach him yet again.

Instead since the shoe's on the other foot, nobody has a problem with it. They gleefully and cheerfully enforce border policy when it comes to Cubans while also screaming "no human is illegal!" when it comes to the southern border, and don't even stop for a second to ponder if they're being hypocrites.

This sums up the American left in a nutshell.

Very different treatment of actual refugees fleeing a communist government rather than Mexican border hoppers. Wonder what the difference could be.

Cubans should be political refugees. Anyone who has explored Cuba should agree.

I'm so sick of this crap. Our government isn't even hiding the bias anymore.

Come here to vote Democrat, let them flood the border. Voting Republican? Stay your arse out no matter the legitimacy of your asylum claims.
