I don't mind immigration..It's the political double standard I hate!

xxGAMBITxxxxGAMBITxxA1
I know the topic of immigration from latin countries is hot right now. Personally I don't have an issue with anyone coming here to achieve a better life if they can't achieve it back in thier home countries. But we have black leadership across this nation speaking on this specific subject yet ignoring that decades old, bullshit law "wet foot, dry foot". Only beef I have with THAT law is that haitians (hell black people in general) who do the same thing as the cubans don't "fall" under that same protection. Two groups land in the same spot in Florida, yet only one can stay with little or no problems from INS. I would appreciate the black leadership (elected/non elected) to focus on this particular issue. We've let this slide for far too long. I feel they've taken thier eyes "off the ball", and thats assuming they've even been watching the game.

You're right. There are... what... 36 million of us in the United States. If we could all agree on one thing... just one thing... nothing could stopping us from getting it.

The Cuba situation is deeper than the Batista Lobby, its more about strategic foreign policy. Cuba is a spit in the face to Capitalism, in the Shadows of the largest economy in the history of the world ,and the Cuban people supported a Socialist State and american power could not shake their will. Just like Haiti, is the original black republic in the Western Hemisphere and you know how Uncle Sam Feels about that, look at our invasions, Plus how many African Cubans are allowed to pursue that wet foot policy giving to the ruling elite dictatorship regime of Batista?

Not sure when the current policy came into effect. Remember the Mariel Boat Lift situation in the early 80's.

Well the way I've heard it from older Cubans is that there was a back door deal with Cuba to allow their people to come into the U.S. My point is that things aren't always what they seem. Unlike the Haitians who have always had trouble with the U.S., they couldn't make a sweetheart deal like that and they are a black country. Back in those days they had to keep black folks in their "place". So Haiti was never gonna get her just due....unless she takes it. Which is exactly what Haitian people should do.

Agree. And if it's important for African Americans to change the immigration policy toward Haiti then we've got to make it happen.

the larger issue is what type of free trade policies are their that cause this type of desperate poverty. Why are their so called first world and third world countries. How is it that all the countries with the most abundant natural resources are the poorest countries and the countries that lead the world have very little>?
