The water has been really flat the last 2 days.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN: Cubans sail a modified 1959 Buick across the Florida Straits on Tuesday. Two passengers tried to make the trip last summer in a Chevy pickup.
"but I have a hard time wanting these people back."
The Cubans are a special case. They should stay.
A Leakin' Mercury.
Uh-oh.
If Teddy had been driving this he would be President today.
I wish the Coast Guard would stop sinking these classic cars - they all look to be in good condition, and they're almost impossible to find in the US any more.
Why don't they just go to Mexico, then they can waltz over the American border. Oh that's right, Mexico doesn't tolerate illegals coming into the country.
Let 'em stay. They've earned it.
And I haven't the heart to send them back where they will
be punished.
Imagine this kind of drive, ingenuity, and determination unleashed in a free market economy...
Say what you want....
It's called Miami.
There was a time when cars were what God intended.
If they paddle across the Rio Grande with their hands they're OK, but if they have the smarts to take a cab instead, then they're not. I guess our elites don't want any new competition.
I agree. Most of the people crossing the border from Mexico are simply looking for higher wages, but these people are trying to flee an oppressive dictatorship along the same lines as Saddam Hussein.
Wait a minute. Why are these people fleeing paradise? They have universal health care, free edumacation, 100% employment....
Yep. Cubans are among the most successful immigrants from Latin American and Caribbean nations. If someone can convert a car into an amphibious vehicle in a police state and with few resources, then there is little that they cannot do.
People who go to these lengths to escape Castro for the hope of freedom are NOT coming to the United States to get on welfare and vote Democrat. I say let them stay.
C'mon, folks. These guys are Americans, far as I'm concerned.
Honorary Americans, but Americans.
Is there any place we can send messages of support to where it might actually do their immigration case some good?
