Reply #20: Those Chevy truck rafters were denied legal visas & weren't farmers [View All]

After the USCG returned them to Cuba they, at US request, applied for legal US immigration visas at the US interests section in Havana (the US offers over 20,000 legal immigration visas to Cubans per year).

The US INS denied their immigration applications because they didn't qualify after a criminal background check that the US interest section does in Cuba.

But, IF they had touched US soil they would have been granted legal immgration status via the US's "wet foot/ dry foot" policy and the US's Cuban Adjustment Act - regardless of the fact that 1) they would have entered the US illegally, 2) they would not have had to undergo the criminal background check that is required of all other legal immigrants.



Cuban illegal immigrants (most of whom are smuggled-in @ $5,000-$10,000 per head), INCLUDING VIOLENT CRIMINAL FELONS WHO WOULD FAIL THE REQUIRED BACKGROUND CHECK, are given a full and free pass (including instant US "green card" qualification, instant Social Security, instant welfare, instant sec 8 assisted housing, and more), and are released within 24 hours onto the streets of Miami.


This insanity must stop.
