Title: Cubans sail Buick to Florida
Post by: Capt. Pork on February 04, 2004, 04:51:28 PM: This is amazing. If they made it here, they'd get jobs working for some discovery channel reality show within a week. They just need to get a guy to spruce up the paintjob.

Like what?

Cubans don't have a lot of options when it comes to escaping their government. It's not like they can fill out an emmigration form, is it?

I am sure they could try for political asylum or something like that.

We have imigration laws for a reason.

I personaly think it stupid that we after all these years have not opened up dialoge with Cuba and normalized relations with them.

After all our imigration policy has worked so well in So. Florida:D

Correction Wulfe, the Mexicans have a much, much higher attempt rate. This is, of course, because they can walk to the border and upon being turned back, can re-attempt that same night. They can also pay smugglers to help them through customs inside trucks or cars, which is a source of revenue for some. Their success rate, percentage wise, is actually worse than that of the cubans.
