This is a very good example of our lawmakers being aware that the system set up to aid refugees is being used illegaly with no enforcement. As a result it has become a laughing matter for thos who use and abuse the benefits.

It demonstrates Washington politicians lack the ability to do what is right. Stop the cheating. But that might offend somebody. That might cost the a vote or two. While we the people foot the bill.....almost a billion $$ per year.

Politicians with no responsibility, no accountability, no consciemce spend someone else's money......NO PROBLEM;

Another selective enforcement or lack of it for illegal immigration/refugee abuse.

How would Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz - both Cuban or part Cuban - handle the situation?

How about Bush - with a Mexican wife?

If they would do nothing about it then they are no better than any other politician and will conduct business as usual regardless what they say or promise.

A non politician will (hopefully) adress the job on a right and wrong basis. What is being exploited by the Cubans per this article is wrong. Either enforce the rules and bring it to s astop....let the chips fall where they may.

Or change the laws and the rules to fit what is being done (which is being done by default anyway).

I personally believe when a non politician steps up to the plate and perhaps upsets some minority or specialty group, the impact will be offset by the silent majority that might finally get off their collective a$$e$ and back somebody/something.

Both Rubio and Cruz are on record that they would try to roll back what Obama has done unilaterally.

Not sure what Bush having a Mexican wife has to do with yet another action taken by this WH that has no support and is anti everything this country used to be.

"Ever since the president announced in December that the US would end a half-century diplomatic freeze with Cuba, Rubio has publicly castigated the administration at every turn – be it the lifting of certain commercial and travel sanctions, the removal of Cuba from a list of state sponsors of terrorism, and Obama’s announcement last week on the reopening of embassies between Washington and Havana."

That is not even a blip when you consider the waste and fraud in US gov. As long as we can shift all this to our children and grandchildren it won't stop. A real balanced budget requirement would change that very quickly. You say we tax payers are footing the bill for this but we are not, it is just addded to deficiet like the wars we are currently waging. In my opinion.
