We have so many people stuffed into unhealthy tents at our southern border with horrible conditions and that had been abused by cartel coyotes, plus a threat to the local ranchers. Our coast guards are given strict orders to not allow the people from Cuba asylum into the States. Clearly they are starved and fighting for freedom. Help me to understand the difference?!
I've been working in Cuba (mission trips) since 2003, and I can tell you they have a great deal of appreciation for our country! If they can get to Florida, they will be welcome by the residents of our state, regardless of what the administration says. I hope many people here speak out/up in defense of the Cubans who love our country & against the repressive regime that hate us.
