Aren't these the people we want?
Yesterday, A blue taxicab converted into a seagoing vessel and carrying several Cuban immigrants was caught by the Coast Guard off Key West. Unfortunately, it appears these immigrants will be shipped back to the socialist dictatorship in Cuba.
Aren't these the type of immigrants we want? Those willing to risk shark infested waters using an imaginative craft in an attempt to escape the shackles of poverty and oppression. These people were willing to risk it all so they can enjoy the liberty and economic freedom that America provides. These are obviously highly motivated individuals who could greatly contribute to our society. It is a shame we reject such people while we leave our borders to the south undefended.
If it were me running the country, I would go down to the beach where they landed, hand them a margarita and welcome them to America by granting them instant citizenship. For they understand what it means to be an American citizen far more than many liberals.
