Obama Will Return Illegal Cubans to Castro
2017-01-13
WASHINGTON (Ay-Pee)... The Obama administration is ending the "wet foot, dry foot" policy that granted residency to Cubans who arrived in the United States without visas.
Caught my attention when I heard it on the radio yesterday.
The official said the U.S. and Cuba have spent several months negotiating the change, including an agreement from Cuba to allow those turned away from the U.S. to return.
What about Mexico, Champ? Not Marxist enough for ya?
The move comes about a week before President Barack Obama leaves office and is likely the last major change he will make to his overhaul of the U.S. relationship with Cuba.
Somebody please tell me this change is making the policy with Cuba the same as it already is with every other country. And that it won't be enforced any more than any other country.
Yet another executive order that can be reversed on January 21st...

#8  So nobody will swim to Florida for 7 days. That's a solid policy.

#7  They helped swing Florida to Trump. Payback while he can, at least for a week.

Look for him to order a major jail break on his last day, too.

#6  And the Cubans that paddle on over anyway, would Obama support their extradition and execution via firing squad? Must be his evil white side coming out.

#5  Imo, this will be used to dampen DJT's Border Wall project.

I can hear it now, "If those coming from Mexico cannot do so unimpeded, neither can those coming from Cuba." or some variation thereof.

#4  Well because the Cubans come to the US and invariably vote Republican, it makes sense in his little twisted monosynapsed brain to do this.

Now if the Cubans would behave themselves and vote Democratic like good slaves on the plantation this wouldn't have happened. You don't see him writing this order on the Mexicans do you???

#2  The 'legacy' continues.

#1  It is what Obumble's butt buddy wants and it fuc*s Americans and the US in the process.

So Obumble does it and blows all over us again...
