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 too do not understand why our government is telling Cubans they won't get in the country if they make it here especially after changing our southern border policies and allowing thousands of illegals to flood in from South American countries of which we give millions of dollars in aid every year. Of course, there are some people blaming the US sanctions on Cuba for the conditions there, but it is much more complicated that that. Somehow they forget that the Castro regime embraced the then Soviet Union, allowing them to bring nuclear missiles to Cuba and point them at the US. The communist regime also seized private property and possessions and cast their people in to poverty, or in many cases executing them or throwing them in prison, all the while becoming wealthy themselves. I'm certainly no expert on Cuba, but these are the things I remember and my heart goes out to the Cuban people who have suffered for so many years. There has to be something we can do to help them!!
