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?!

Hi,
My cousin is a border agent on the southern border and from what he tells me it is not true that the border is wide open, everyone is not just being allowed in and anyone who promotes that idea either does not know what they are talking about, or is just spreading falsehoods to frighten the American public. There is a procedure for those seeking asylum and the difficulty comes from the volume of those doing so at the moment. The process is being made more difficult by the interference from those being sent there by the governors from other states supposedly to help "guard" the border. These supposed guards are more hindrance than help. With regard to Cubans, they have been welcomed in to the US for the past 60 years and there is a special exemption for admittance for them. Many Cubans know that when they come to the southern border and that they can be accepted for asylum much easier there.
