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?!
This sounds suspiciously like propaganda to me. First, please correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I can tell, DHS Secretary Mayorkas told Cubans not to attempt ILLEGAL entry by sea into the U.S. Second, the charge that the Mexican border is open to "pretty much anyone else in including immigrants that may have Covid, drugs, trafficking children, and history of any crimes" is ludicrous. And third, where did you hear that "Our coast guards are given strict orders to not allow the people from Cuba asylum into the States"? I could find absolutely nothing to verify that claim.
Political clickbait right from the start...
