150. Raging, the OVERWHELMING majority of Cuban expats in the US..
Edited on Sun Jun-11-06 06:12 AM by Mika
.. have done just what you asked about.

They have applied for a legal immigration visa and received it from the US. Then they came here on a flight from Cuba.

What a disgusting stereotype for you to even come close to suggesting that a significant percentage of Cuban-Americans in Miami have come here by raft or smugglers boat.
:puke:


Try selling that fable at the Versailles without getting your ass kicked.

As mentioned before, the US's 'wet foot/ dry foot' policy (that applies to Cubans only) permits all Cubans, including Cuban criminals and felons, who arrive on US shores by illegal means to remain in the US even those having failed to qualify (or even apply) for a legal US immigration application.

After arriving here, they get the perks afforded to Cubans only.

Do you get it?

The ones who come by illegal means, by raft and smugglers speedboats, have either failed a US visa application or haven't bothered to apply (for reasons unknown) for one.
