Attention Illegals: Cuban, Dry Feet Are Your Ticket To Freedom
12 October 2007, 5:35 PM. By Daniel Mauser
An informative story appeared today from Reuters on how Homeland Security has an interesting way of deciding which illegal immigrants can stay in the country and which can’t:
Under U.S. “wet foot, dry foot” immigration rules, Cubans who make it onto U.S. soil can usually stay and apply for residency while those intercepted at sea are sent back. Illegal immigrants from other Latin American countries are sent back no matter where they are captured.
Unfortunately, this gameshowesque policy doesn’t apply to other Latino immigrants. Perhaps because their countries didn’t kick our asses in the Bay of Pigs? Just a thought.

Wait, Reuters thought this was news-worthy?
Isn’t it pretty common knowledge?
it is…to those who are v much concerned about immigration. it helps those who lump all latinanics/hispalatins (or whatever the hell you want to call me) into not thinking so broadly. it’s okay to let the ones from that island with the mean, mean communist in (with money that comes from that area close to that island) but not the _other_ ones. that’s not how it works, _carnal_.
Refugee status,….Hondurans used to qualify as well back when they were having civil war. As for the Bay of Pigs, if it weren’t for his assassination, JFK would be remembered as a failure largely for that debacle.
Those guys that built the pontoon truck, we should have kept them and given them scholarships to an Engineering Program in the U.S.
This has been the case for the last 30 years, why is this news?
uh.. duh.
