More Cuban immigrants entering US from Mexico and
they can stay---thanks to LBJ and the Cuban Adjustment Act:
Law number 89, known as the Cuban Adjustment act, was adopted by the US congress on the 2nd of November of 1966, under the Lyndon Johnson administration. It's main provisions was to change the legal status of the Cuban immigrants; to treat them as political refugees and to grant them political asylum; and as such provide them immediately with privileges that no other group enjoys, such as, automatic permanent residence status - all without review and without the usual waiting time.
This privileged law affords the Cuban illegal immigrant the opportunity, to work legally, to govt. welfare, to unemployment benefits, and to free medical care, things that the average immigrant by no means is entitled to.

If the Cubans are protected then why would they have to come in through Mexico! They could just go to the Bahamas and swim over to Miami![:0][:0] 0 -
The last thing this country needs is more disgruntled Cubans with a political axe to grind.
We get it! You dont like Castro! Your countrymen seem to like him well enough, though.0 -

Act. says if they enter the US, they can stay. The Coasties and Navy are doing a terrific job intercepting the Cubans being smuggled via go-fast. So they try the dry route, through Mexico. Less risky.
What we need to do is abolish the "Wet foot/dry foot" policy implemented by Clinton, which is still law. This law encourages alien smuggling. Going rate is around $10K per head. The money is paid by relatives in Miami to the smugglers.0
