Disabled Vets, Now Cubans, What group next will be alienated.

I guess Rove isn't as smart as he thinks.

The agreement was properly titled the 1994 U.S./Cuba Pact which Pres.Clinton set with Cuba

Here's the real problem, Klintoon strikes again. Slick has no qualms about communism so why the heck should the Cubans.

Bush should unilaterally pull out of the agreement.

I think I speak for a lot of people on here when I say I do NOT consider it a crime to "hijack" the means to get one to freedom. Perhaps if you lived under those conditions, you might understand why these unfortunate people will do ANYTHING in order to get here, including sacrificing their lives.

I hate to say it but, been on FR for a total of 12 days.

Whatever happen to the Reagan Doctrine of fighting the evil empire (Cuba was part of it, remember) tooth and nail at every opportunity?

IMHO, Libertybell250 needs to drop the liberty out of the screen name.

"Bush should unilaterally pull out of the agreement."

Right on. Cubans are not Haitians nor Mexicans. I'd apply this to any nation living under a Communist regime, they deserve special protection not afforded to those that live in Republican Democracies. If North Korean refugees did the same thing as the Cubans, I say they get the same protection.

"I hate to say it but, been on FR for a total of 12 days."

Hmm, very interesting. And I see he is one of those that thinks we should normalize relations with Cuba as if Unky Fidel is just a warm and loveable fuzzball. When freedom comes to Cuba and the death of tyranny rings aloud like a bell of liberty, then we can lift the embargo, not before.

[Militiaman7]

I agree.

[jagrmeister]

Got forbid a boat was stolen. I'm willing to prioritize the freedom ahead of the boat. Anything short of murder to escape tyranny is entirely justified.

[jagrmeister]

Haitian refugees are not deported. We have a portion of our immigration quotas every year dedicated for asylum seekers.

>The 12 Cuban refugees should have
been deported just like Haitian or other illegal aliens who try to enter illegally.

LOL- the only way for Cubans to enter America for good is illegally.

[jagrmeister]

She may want to replace the name with something like D.U.Belle250.

[jocon307]

"...prosecutors [in Cuba (i think)] would seek no more than 10 years in prison for the two accused of stealing the boat."

Very nice, I don't blame the Cuban-Americans for their anger. People ESCAPING Cuba are real refugees, who crave FREEDOM! But we'll let any visa overstayer from other countries hang around forever, until the next amnesty rolls around. And, LOL, then they'll vote DEMOCRATIC! Our wet foot/dry foot policy is as bad as if we threw people back over the Berlin Wall.

We should have crushed Castro years ago. I for one am tired of waiting for him to die.

"You must not live in Miami or you would never make a statement like that."

You are corect-o-mundo. I don't not live in Miami and have no desire to ever do so. However, I do have several Cuban friends and perhaps it is because the are "old school" in that their parents learned English and became citizens and made their children to make education their prime diretive they all married non Cubans and "melted" into the melting pot.

I suppoose that the world has changed and I'm behind the times. You are right. Cubans are as bad a Mexicans for this country.

[Jhoffa_]

They said the move does not mean the group will support the Democrats, but rather that Cuban-Americans will vote for whoever supports their cause.

I can't blame them.. Hey, if someone doesn't earn your vote.. Why turn out for them?

If the Conservative base did this collectively we would get allot more attention.

Instead, our blind support could easily be likened to walking onto a car lot, pointing out a car to the salesman and telling him: "that one, and whatever you want for it.. it's not enough.."
