Illegal Cuban Immigrants Should Not Be Given A Pass
- 600 Cubans have entered the U.S. via Texas this past week with many more expected in the next three months.
- The Cubans have been stranded in Central America after Nicaragua closed its borders to them.
- They come to America because of the Adjustment Act, which allows who reach U.S. soil to remain in the country and obtain legal permanent residence.
- Last year saw more than 43,000 Cubans enter the country, 77 percent more than the year before. Roughly 30,000 of them came across the Mexico border.
(EFE) – Some 600 entered the U.S. at Laredo, , in the last five days, and the rate of arrivals will remain constant for the next three months, the founder of the “Cubanos en Libertad” group told EFE.
In a telephone conversation from Laredo, Alejandro Ruiz, who lends his compatriots a helping hand as soon as they cross the bridge over the Rio Grande, said that many of the stranded in Central America since November are coming to the United States under their own steam or with the aid of traffickers known as “coyotes.”
“They’re really desperate,” said Ruiz, who came to the U.S. in 1992.

Since mid-November, thousands of who left their country with the intention of traveling to the U.S., found themselves trapped in Costa Rica after Nicaragua closed its borders to them.
Thanks to an accord signed by Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico, staggered groups of roughly 180 people have been allowed to leave Costa Rica and travel north.
The first group left Costa Rica in mid-January and the second group, of 184 people made up chiefly of women and children, left last week.
The latter group of flew to El Salvador and from there crossed Guatemala to reach the Mexican border, where they were each given a provisional document granting them 20 days to reach the United States by their own means.
Cubanos en Libertad continues caring for new arrivals and helps them settle in the U.S., if they have no family or friends here.
Currently there are less than 10 in the temporary shelter maintained by the group, which handles the business of getting them the food stamps and economic help they are entitled to under the Adjustment Act, which allows who reach U.S. soil to remain in the country and obtain legal permanent residence.
In the fiscal year that ended last Sept. 30, more than 43,000 came to the United States, 77 percent more than in the previous fiscal year, according to figures provided by Customs and Border Protection.
Most of them, 30,966, entered across the U.S.-Mexican border. EFE

Just the words alone illegally says it all.
If I enter another country illegally, how am I treated?
Illegal is illegal; should NOT be rewarded! Period. Stop. No more illegals. We have enough. We don’t need any more.
If these refugees are entering the Country legally, why would anyone object??? That’s just crazy!!!
no illegals should be given a pass
Unaccounted Illegal Immigration is a big Security Risk.
The US must stop ALL illegal immigration, outlaw Sanctuary Cities & deport ALL deadbeat illegals.
Only if Trump is elected. The rest want us destroyed as a country.
because they are doing it illegally!!
They should apply and come in legally and have relatives that can support them and not further burden our already overburdened welfare system.
Why should they be allowed to stay when others who wait years to come legally are therefore pushed to the back of the line?
There is no money left for anyone. Soon, no welfare or free stuff. Then what?
we welcome immigrants. that is what the country is built on. everyone here has or at one time had family that immigrated here. the difference is. They did it legally, so any one else coming in should have to do it the same way. Yes it takes time to go through the motions, yes the wheels move slow but once you go through the channels set up you are welcome. It took me 2 years to get my clearance and yes it was a long wait but worth it.
Another case of lineral suxing up that has turned into a complete screw job for the US taxpayers. Anyone setting foot in US territory , who is not a citizen, needs permission and screening before they alight.
We need a complete halt and than very careful screening. If you are not able to be productive and a benefit, than no entry.
No more welfare suckers and people with seditious beliefs ( muslimes).
All these leaches need to stay in their country and straighten it out rather than come here and screw the US up
They are breaking the law. They are not here legally
ALL PERSONS THAT ARE NOT NATURAL BORN CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA MUST GO THROUGH THE NATURALIZATION PROCESS JUST LIKE OUR FOREFATHERS DID ! NO EXCEPTIONS ! ESPECIALLY WITH TODAYS RADICALS !!! AND MURDERERS THAT ALL THE VOTE DESIRING LIBERALS WANT TO ALLOW INTO THIS COUNTRY, JUST SO THEY CAN GET THEIR VOTES ! ! !
Yup, you’re preaching to the choir. When an anti-American is the president, it’s not going to happen. Have you read any of his books? He wants to bring the country down, once and for all. His father, who ditched him, was deported, this is his revenge.
WE are in debt enough, without spending MORE borrowed money to support these deadbeat DEMOCRATIC voters !!!
I, as a former Texan, am tired of seeing us pay and pay for their education, support and medical bills. They do not work for anything.
It’s time for them to come in the legal way and pay taxes on everything too.
We have an illegal president that allows this illegal action a a load of bleeding hearts, none of which cares anything about LEGAL or MORAL actions. They just don’t care. People that never vote are just as bad. This border could have been closed a long time ago if people would vote with some COMMON SENSE. I know, a weird term now days but common sense has to happen to solve these problems. And we won’t find it with a vote for a democrat or socialist.
The border needs to be closed and all illegals deported. If the federal government refuses to do it, then it is up to the states to over ride Obama’s edict and just do it!!!!!!
When we used Elis Island to bring people into the USA we would quarnteen the immigrants until such time they were safe to enter the United States. Why can’t we do that now.
Has everybody forgotten what the word illegal means? America is looking like a 3rd. world country. And acting like it. The american people are being pushed out of our own country. There are no jobs NOW! Every where I look, every business and every job is held by a non american. I live in California, can’t find a job, and I’m literally starving! And all these people get a hand out from our backs. Where the HELL is my hand out? All I want is a job and my country back! I sorry, but these people are NASTY, their like untrained animals
Let them stay in the White House allong with the great Obone with out his gards see how that works for him!!!
After the agreement with Cuba they should request a visa from the US Embasy in Cuba. The same treatment as other countries
regardless of what happened in the past, we can’t afford this. financially or otherwise. schools, health all are taxed to death now the VA. is a shambles and the potus fiddles on. Obama and congress aren’t under employed. we are.
They don’t care. They have theirs. Illegals vote, that’s the story. A few years ago, over 3% of people called for jury duty were illegal. The names were taken from the voter rolls. In over 25 years, I’ve never been called.
illegal!!!!
Why obey any law at all? People who aren’t even citizens or have s right to be here are breaking laws. So why should anyone abide by any law at all?
The United States should have a defined amount that is allowed citizenship per year and a legal process to do this with NO exceptions!
We need to know who is in the USA. No benefits should be granted if not registered
all immigration should be controlled so not to overload the existing system. They currently have no special need to allow them to immigrate any differently than others.
I don’t believe anyone should be allowed to enter this country illegally.
This is insane; no other country in the world would tolerate this !
still illegal
can’t afford this anymore. send them now.
emma
we have too many aliens in america.as it is…americans in the coal mining areas of pennsylvania need help not these freeloaders..
We can’t take care of our veterans and we let this happen. Wake up America!
They are breaking the law just like the pos in the white house who is supposed to defend us
SO SUPPOSEDLY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION HAS ENACTED A LAW TO SANCTION THIS…..NULLIFICATION SHOULD NOW BE IN STYLE.
We have more then enough of a problem with so called ‘immigrants’. We don’t need them yet. Our economy is a mess and we have our own people living in the streets.
Can you say–illegal?
I want to see your next ad. I think you mis-spelled –received.
The word illegal explains enough.
not fair to the legal ones and crime and drugs are inevitable since they do not work.
they are sneaking in and are criminals
it’s against the law, it’s hurting our economy, it’s promoting disease.
Got that silly pop up about DT’s “disgusting plan” to prohibit Moslems from invading our turf – why even the likes of Dick Cheney though this was outrageous. What’s with this site ? Is it run by idiot evangelicals ? Screw the g/d Moslems.
Law breakers should be prosecuted. Illegals should be sent back. Period.
Our country is immediate danger with all the illegals BHO is bringing into our country. Also they are bringing in many dangerous diseases. BHO will call Marshal Law and take control of our country immediately. It’s coming soon! Our congress is the biggest problem because they have given him free reign on budget, illegals and too many items to even mention! Our country is on the brink of disaster! The anti-Christ is among us!
Send them ALL back at their own countries expense. We need to take care of our own people first…..My grandparents came here legally and this is just slaps in their faces and ours. SEND THEM HOME….ALL ILLEGALS!
they should only be allowed to do it the legal way and documented.
time to end pass since we recognize Cuba now let them apply to enter US like other nations have to . No more foot on shore
THEY GET TAX FREE MONEY, pay nothing ,kill,rape,rob ,get away free right to vote… TRUMP IS RIGHT SHIP THEY ALL BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM,I as a tax payer sick and tired of this crap,, when 46% on well fair
bunch of free loaders
Well here’s a fifty year old law that got by “WE THE SLEEPING PEOPLE” that can now be employed to our national detriment. Read the translation folks, ( the part about communist party affiliation.), and realize that the USA has flung it’s doors wide open for Marxists and Muslims. I don’t want such people determining my grandchildren’s future: Do you?
They did not come here lawfully
First of all they should not be able to stay because they entered illegaly and amongst them could be terrorist wishing to do us harm and from there it goes to a whole bunch of reasons, they will take American jobs for those who want to work, those who don’t are here only for the benifits they can collect, which is a lot more than our homeless people on the streets. The men will rape our women and for those who don’t believe in abortion if they become pregnant, will have to raise the child and if she puts it up for adoption, if it’s a boy, may be adopted by American hating muslim and raised to hate Americans also and at some point make a terroristic attempt on Americans and also these muslims do no want to live and become acclimated to the American way of life.
