Cubans (not) coming in the US

Shame.

Fifteen Cubans who fled their homeland and landed on an abandoned bridge piling in the Florida Keys were returned to their homeland Monday after U.S. officials concluded that the structure did not constitute dry land.

Generally, I agree that illegal immigrant should not be treated the same way as legal immigrants, though I do not count illegal immigration (by itself) a particularly serious crime. However, the dry/wet policy regarding Cuban refugees is simply shameful. Let them all come ashore! Let them live here! And make them all legal.

На мой взгляд, с кубинцами гнусь творится. Эмбарго не отменяли, режим Кастро считают бесчеловечным, а убежища не дают. Да что там той Кубы, причем иммигранты действительно работящии, а политика - ни нашим, ни вашим. А ведь Кастро не Хрущев, а Кеннеди выкормил. Хрущев только знамя подхватил.
