It's all about politics. Rupublicans have a huge Cuban vote in florida. Now that bush is pres and bush is gov, the cubans get to stay. But not much Haitian influence in the white house or anywhere in the US for that matter.

Hehe yeah. A bet if we had snipers stationed up on pylons as they drifted into port, they'd think twice about jumping ship. It's be like Omaha Beach all over again

Seriously though, I say all stay or all go.

All those Cubans moved to Florida since Bush became president?

Why would you send anybody back?? It's only asylum if the country they come from has embargos placed on it?

No, it's only asylum if they're coming from a country with a repressive government. IIRC any Communist government fits the bill without question.

Jebus Haiti is messed up. Its like a little bit of Africa right here in the Americas.

As such we should treat Haiti the same way we should treat Africa leave them on thier island and let them kill and bash each other till some sort of normal civillization eventually rises out of whatever is left over.

So... We could send all those Haitian refugees to Cuba?

No. He had such strong feelings against the Haitians, I was wondering how he felt about Cuba and Cubans.

I KNOW whose side Buckley is on. He's been pointing the finger at Hussein since 9/17/01:

• Iraq's participation in anti-U.S. terrorism

...whose side are YOU on? Let me guess: Barbara Streisand? Alec Baldwin? Rosie Odonnell? No? How about Ms Fonda? :disgust:

Haiti need to have a communist dictatorship first before we would take any refugees....
