Mexican are not "allowed" to stay. The laws are the same no matter what - its what the government CHOOSES to do about it.

Apparently, they are fleeing a communist regime. Just because Cuba is communist doesn't mean that it is the worst country in the world for its citizens. Try Haiti. Try countries in Africa. Try Southeastern Asia. Try Afghanistan. Our immigration laws should be more compassionate and should strive to help those who are MOST IN NEED. It shouldn't help illegals that broke the law. It shouldn't help those who the US wants to immigrate here just so that the government can embarass Castro. IT HASN'T WORKED IN 40 YEARS!!!!! Cubans should go through the process LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!!!!

They have in the past.  I believe it was in the 1980's when Castro put some of the worst criminals and the mentally ill on boats and sent them to the US on a "leave Cuba without being shot" type of day.  The US was waiting to deport them when the prisoners rioted in Atlanta and someplace in Mississippi I think.  Bottom line is, he can and probably will get deported, or else, spend a good chunk of time in Federal Prison.

They have a right to leave and come here legally.  Illegals appear to have more rights and privileges than American citizens.

Did they leave when they were done?  \nthen good, they are not illegal, they are Mexican citizens living in Mexico.  Good for them.  Why didn't they take the illegal aliens who are working in New Orleans back with them?

Once you are deported you are not allowed back in for any reason.

They have a class system.  The do not want a middle class at all all those that are beneath the rich and ruling class are to stay that way.  But like most of cultures people continue to have babies, and those babies grow up and cause a drain on the rich and ruling class.  There needs to be away to feed, cloth and keep them settled so that they will not fight to overthrow a cruel and unjust government.  So what better way than to drive them out of the homeland and into that of another country.  For their government could care less if they lived or died (do you think there is water in the desert for those of us traveling to Mexico illegally) and much less what really happens to them here. \n\n Mexico is a corrupt government that only aids to the desparate state of being that their people are in.  Flying into Mexico City, by the way, which if very beautilful, one can see as far as the eye, roof tops of cardboard boxes.  One can drive down US Hwy 10 on the West side of El Paso and see conditions across the board that are just horrifing.  One can drive into Juazes and see the manison with their great walls around them, and people lining the streets in filth and hunger.  Their government does not want them there, so whats a few million, drive them N. and get them out of Mexico, so that we may have their lands and not worry about their existence.  Of course if we can use them ( the millions they drive from Mexico)in such a way as to get America to give us more and do more for us then so be it.  And if they can use them (with lies that they are entitled to something in this land), the poor driven souls to cause unrest in America then they are for that.  \n\nIts called all for me and none for you government.  There is a very small ruling class in Mexico, they rule with an iron hand.  \n\nKiss the ground you live and work on, for it is not like another on earth.  And those that come here both legally and illegally know this, that is why they still come!

Not only can a non Mexican only lease. Mexican nationals are also given preference over non Mexicans in hiring. Its their law. They also have much higher restrictions regarding immigration.

Because many of them have been working in the USA for decades picking oranges, limes and lemons. They basically keep the landlords in business, however when it comes to apply for citizenship, they are considered to be foreigners.\nThey fly the Mex. flag to identify themselves from other nationalities who claim to be refugees and seem to get priority.

I am Mexican and I lived in the US, but I was not illegal. Most illegal immigrants have a bad way of life and for them the US is the only opportunity to have a better life. I know that it is illegal and wrong, but for most of them, life did get better and it makes me feel good because I HATE seeing anything suffer. The reason why illegals go to the US is that they see the American way of life, and they wish they had such a good quality of life, and unfortunately, in Mexico, many people have a bad quality of life.

No....Mexico sends the people that they don't want to the United States...and Cuba allows their undesirables to go to Mexico. I think it is poetic justice. \nDo unto others as you would have them do unto you...

The Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966 said that anyone who fled Cuba and reached the United States would be granted U.S. Citizenship one year later.\n\nThis act was created as a reaction against the communist government of Cuba.  Those who made it here were recognized as political refugees (whether they were truly politically persecuted or not).\n\nThe policy has since been modified to the Wet Feet/Dry Feet policy.  If the Cubans can make it the United States shore, they are granted citizenship after one year and after a background review by the Department of Homeland Security.  If they are caught anywhere in the water, they are either sent back to Cuba or sent to a third party 'neutral' nation.

it's a law that gives the inmigrant a status of criminal, like comparing it with a thief or violator, or assasin...\n\nthe problem with it is, ok you give the inmigrants status of criminals and u start a big persecution against them... once u get them, where are u gonna put all that people... cause if u give them status of criminal u as country have to follow certain protocol for each inmigrant: investigation, judge, deportation, or jail... it's a lot of stuff, stuff that has costs... i think that the problem is that US never, never in history has controlled its inmigration, since all those african americans that were brought, the european people that came a loooooong time ago; the US has always been a country of big movements of people, i think now it's too late to start putting rules...\n\nin the other hand, the inmigration that's giving "problems" to america is the mexican inmigration, those guys who go cross the border, we'll always try again and again to cross it cause they have nothing else to lose, that makes the mexican inmigrant "powerfull" \n\nI've read, and listen people that beg for inmigrants to go home... for once i would really love to see that happens, because u have no idea of the chaos it would be if u stop inmigration not only mexican, but all inmigration...

I was born in Mexico.  I immigrated because my mother was a US citizen but not because she was my mother because Regan(R) Passed an Amnesty Law in 86.  Immigrants have a lot to contend with they really don't want to be in the middle of this argument.  They stayed in obscurity until someone in Washington decided what is best for the American people.  Well American people don't want to wash there own cars, or cook in restaurants or wash dishes or toilets.  If I can get my teenage boys to get a job this summer I'll be more than grateful.  We have become a selfish society and the only reason we don't like immigrants it's because they don't fit in to our name brand society.  They dress in what they can afford and wear their hair in last years fashion.  OMG hopefully we don't catch something.  What EVER!  Get over it America stop being so snooty.  Remember the immigrants that crosses Elise Island?  No body wanted the Jewess back then then the Irish.  It's the Mexicans turn.  Stop allowing history to repeat it self!!!!!

I guess for the same reason that they apparently want illegals to be allowed to stay in the US and be paid slave wages.  Its a very strange belief system.

Mexico is very strict about their native citizens having everything, and the foriegners having nothing. As much as they complain saying America doesn't need a border control, and they critisize us for deporting.. If you tried going over the Mexican border, especially from the south, you would more than likely go to prison. If you tried to run away, you would probably get shot. Mexico is very critical on US policies, yet their policies are MUCH worse than ours.\n\nHowever, back to Mexico.. They are strict like that simply because they love their citizens. I.E. they hate American policies.. Why? Because they want their former citizens, or some even still their citizens to recieve the best. They are probably simply doing it because they care about their people.

Mexico has given them a culture, a belief and a society.  Just because you emigrate does not mean you throw away your culture and what made you the person you are.  When you parents, grandparents moved to the USA, did they forget about your elders and those that did not move to the USA?  Each and everyone is proud of their heritage.  Italian-Americans, African-American, Chinese-Americans and so on.  They are proud, just as you are proud.
