Well, for one, the rest of Latin America does not live within spitting distance of the US, across a brief expanse of sea. Haitians balseros do get a similar policy. You can't float over here from Nicaragua on a converted chevy van, you know? Plus it's easier for Mexicans to walk back to their democratic friend-of-the-us country than for Cubans to float back to their oppressive enemy regime. Just sayin'. Also, Hispanics not sympathetic to Cuban immigration? I don't get it, do you mean, like, balsero-immigrants? Their numbers are very small, for one. That's probably the #1 reason, really. I don't think it's a lack of compassion but rather a lack of awareness that they exist. Whenever you read about them in the news it's kind of a novelty. “After all, why do Cubans get the wet feet-dry feet rule when the rest of Latin America doesn’t?” Well, for one, the rest of Latin America does not live within spitting distance of the US, across a brief expanse of sea.
