Illegal immigrants.
Cubans are illegal immigrants.
In Cuba, in their own land if they choose to live in a province or city other than the one of their "state approved residence" they can be jailed, and all of their property (which is not a lot, to begin with)in "virtue" of a communist law that makes them into "illegal immigrants". That's why when they finally arrive in the States they are POLITICAL REFUGEES, all of them, get that. And I don't care about anyone's academic credentials to dispute that, simply because those so called academics have not lived the communist hell that Cuba is. They are quick to judge, analyze and put people in neatly labeled boxes! Besides, tell me how's that one can separate politics from economics. I tell you one thing, many of the people who come here form capitalistic countries come either because they are more successful than their society allows for (they generally become even more successful here) or because they are unable to make it there because their own limitations and come here to take jobs that sit low in the labor market scale. A Cuban comes because the political system doesn't allow them to succeed in their own land with their abilities and because progress in Cuba goes against the grain of the communist regime, therefore, if you are successful you are automatically prosecuted by the dictatorship. Look at the success that a Cuban achieves after a few years here and to the level of linguistic ability and integration to society.
Having said this, it becomes really clear that every Cuban classifies to ALL of the considerations that Amnesty International and the High Commision for Refugees for the United Nations apply so selectively to everybody without even considering the plea of Cubans a valid one.
Now, anyone who is against the balseros and other Cuban defectors being accepted in this country is simply an accomplice of kagasstro in keeping Cubans jailed in the biggest penal facility in the world, Cuba, where even your movement to visit relatives can be limited. God forbid that you have a relative that lives near a tourist facility. God forbid that your relative humble home is near a military base. If you are a Cuban you are a government hostage, and that makes you in my book a refugee if you come to this land.
