What many of you (and most Americans) seem to not understand about letting in so many in the name of humanitarianism is that although the thought is a valiant one, it is destroying this country. Think of the US as a boat. It floats well above water, but if it keeps taking on passengers it will eventually flounder and sink..... We are to our limit of supporting other countries and taking on more immigrants. If we could stop the illegal intrusion, then we could take on many more legal immigrants. But with an estimated 8-10 million (very conservative estimate) we are bursting at the seams.
Although I feel bad for people in many countries, Cubans are not high on my list. They are right in line with Puerto Rico and even though we basicall own that country (but they run it) their country is in a shambles. Unemployment is always at 20% or higher, and nearly all its citizens are on public assistance. Setting up our style of government will not necessarily solve Cuba's problems.
Funny how so many want to free Cuba, but many of the same are against freeing the Iraqi's.

For those that wish to argue my immigrant thoughts, just look to California and especially Arizona. Over-immigration has had dire effects on both, and Arizona is actually bankrupt because of its overwhelmingly large illegal immigrant problem........
