Because, if Cubans get across the Gulf of Mexico, and get their feet on dry land in the United States, they are normally granted political asylum. I have wondered why they don't cross the yucatn straits and go to Mexico. I guess they would breaking the law in Mexico if they did that, and woould be put in prison, or shot.
Mexico is not an enemy of the United States, yet. Cuba is and will remain so until they give up their communist government. When that happens, a lot of Cubans will thank the US, for their hospitality, and return to their homeland. Mexicans have already shown their gratitude to the U.S. by protesting in our streets, attempting to damage our economy, and disrespecting our laws by illegally crossing our border to the south. |

The difference is Cubans are seeking political asylum from a marxist dictator . US policy has been this way since Castro took over Cuba, and in all honesty we take quite a few people around the world for political asylum. Since there is an US policy the Cubans technically come here legally. The Cubans that come here do assimilate, as opposed to those who break the law and buy fraudulent documents.
Those that over stay a visa or cross either border illegal is in violation of US law |

Their country is comunist and the US doesnt like that. So if people come here, it is because their country is rejecting them, they have no where else to go. That or they "escaped" and the government allows them to stay. |

No one wants to spend the gas money to ship 'em back on a boat, unfortunately.
If they're illegal, they should either become legal or go back. |

They are here illegally just like Mexicans. There's no difference between Cubans and Mexicans coming over, whether it's no a boat or in the back of a truck. |

it was started several decades ago as a way to kind of protest Cuba being communist.
it was like a slap in the face to the Cuban government, "if you're not happy there, it's because communism is bogus, so you can come live here." |

Some immigrants are more welcome than others...
When it comes to immigrants seeking refuge, the U.S. government’s central concern is politics, not oppression.
Beginning in 1966, Cubans who came to the U.S. were automatically classified as refugees, granted permanent residency status and given help to settle in the U.S., under the Cuba Adjustment Act. This was the standard for Cuba’s “refugees from communism.”
A very different standard was applied to those fleeing repression in Haiti. When the democratically elected government of Jean-Bertrand Aristide was overthrown in 1991, tens of thousands of Haitians fled when death squads unleashed terror on Aristide supporters.
When they boarded boats, risking their lives on the ocean voyage, U.S. immigration officials intercepted the asylum seekers and sent them back. The U.S.--an ally of decades of Haitian strongmen previous to the election of Aristide--dubbed the asylum seekers economic refugees, condemning them to their fate back in Haiti. |

Because that is asylum. However bad Mexican illegals say they have it 'coming for a better life' they are not being persecuted by their own government the way the Cubans are. If Castro dies and their government stops persecuting people, the 'dry land' doctrine will die at the same time. |

What makes you think they are treated any differently? Many have been sent back, the main difference is many come seeking asylum here from the "Dictatorship" of Cuba. |

I think the Cubans get to stay because they are more creative. I swear I am still baffled by the Chevy truck frame turned into a flotation device made up of old plastic barrels that floated this truck across the ocean. 10 points to the Cubans for creative illegal immigration!! |

I don't know. If a Cuban makes it here, they can stay.
I think they should be illegal too. It is totally unfair. I think it is more a political ploy against Cuba's government than it is about fairness to our government. Write your Congressman, tell them it is unfair, don't sit on your computer and complain about it. |
