Mexico Si, Cuba No?

US Says It's Ready To Protect Shores From Cuban Migration

According to two members of Florida's congressional delegation, the Bush administration is prepared to prevent a mass migration from Cuba after the death of dictator Fidel Castro.

Now, why the administration is spending time and money addressing a migration that has not and may not occur, while ignoring an ongoing illegal invasion of our southern border is beyond comprehension. Why does this administration embrace border violations by Mexicans, but Cubans are persona non grata? If one of the two can claim political asylum , surely it is the Cubans who have been persecuted by Castro without mercy for decades.

After a closed-door briefing on Wednesday by officials representing the Coast Guard, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Homeland Security and the Border Patrol, Representative Mario Diaz-Balart, Republican, made some pretty ridiculous statements. He said, this administration made it "very clear what the policy is the United States will not permit the disruption of its sovereignty."

I have news for Mario, the sovereignty of the US is disrupted continually twenty four by seven. If he has any doubts he can come to my house and watch how the administration turns a blind eye and how our National Guard is used only to observe and report that the invasion is going just fine.

If those of you from the American southwest have finished convulsing in laughter, here's another gem. "This administration is really prepared and will not permit the United States to not be able to control its territory," Mario Diaz-Balart babbled. Perhaps someone should gift the congressman with a map of his country and point out to him it extends beyond the Florida panhandle.

Still, I want to know what it is that makes this administration so anti-Cuban and why the double standard? And, for the record isn't the Congressman a son of the exiled Cuban politician Rafael Diaz-Balart who formed the first anti-Castro organization in exile, La Rosa Blanca?
