Is the US Government promoting illegal immigration with the law of Cuban Adjustment?
361558
As I understand it, the so-called Law of Cuban Adjustment  grants automatic refuge to illegal Cuban immigrants.\n\nTherefore, I have to say that the US Government is promoting it.

Cuban's are not eligable to receive asylum in the USA since Novebmer 8th, 2006. You are our enemy, or at least your government is, for being communist. But you may try and apply for a green card, here's a link.\n\nI'll get back to you with the link on the new law when I find it again.\n\nOk, second link.

Yes, undergod, no undergovernment.\n\n\nThe government doesnt acknowledge anything if a person is illegal, because to them, they're not citizen and dont exist.

the gov allows this to happen because it benefits from it.\nIt has always made profits from exploiting peoples.\nIf not directly then through corporations that use sweatshops \nin other countries. it always supports tyrants in central and south America they help them come to power and oppress the working people. the apologist for invasions in the u.s are to asinine to do some real research and find the root of the problem. America was built on exploitation , slavery , theft , fraud , genocide , oppression ,  etc..........\nall immigrant Americans and their descendants need to learn this especially Europeans of 1, 2 ,3 , 4 and 5 generation\nLet me just add that no indigenous ( red and brown ) people of any part of these continents is illegal to any part of these lands

The wet feet, dry feet policy \n(sometimes called the wet-foot, dry-foot policy) \nis the name given to a consequence \nof the 1995 revision of the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966 \nthat says, essentially, \nthat anyone who fled Cuba and got into the United States \nwould be allowed to pursue residency a year later. \n\nAfter talks with the Cuban government, \nthe Clinton administration came to an agreement with Cuba \nthat it would stop admitting people found at sea. \n\nSince then, \nin what has become known as the "wet feet, dry feet" policy, \na Cuban caught on the waters between the two nations \n(i.e., with "wet feet") \nwould summarily be sent home or to a third country. \nOne who makes it to shore ("dry feet") \ngets a chance to remain in the United States, \nand later would qualify \nfor expedited "legal permanent resident" status \nand U.S. citizenship.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_Foot-Dry_Foot_Policy\n\n\n\n\n\n\n " Cuba is led by a dictator who has denied its citizens freedom."\n(Communist Nation)\nCubanos That ESCAPE Cuba \nAre POLITICAL REFUGEES\nNOT ILLEGAL ALIENS\n\nMexico is a democracy (Free Nation)\nTherefore, Mexicanos Do NOT Qualify For Political Asylum

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR\n\n\nAppropriate Procedures. Unemployment benefit payments to illegal aliens can, largely, be prevented by more careful verification before a first payment is made. Following is the recommended general procedure for implementing a verification system. Specific procedures must be developed jointly with the INS.\n\nWhen a claimant indicates that he or she is not a U.S. citizen, the claimant should be asked to produce his or her immigration document. If the claimant does not have a document, he or she should be advised that no determination of eligibility will be made until such time as the claimant returns to the local office with the required document\n\n        Immigrant Entry and Native Exit \n\nLooking first at all workers shows that between March 2000 and March 2005 only 9 percent of the net increase in jobs for adults (18 to 64) went to natives. This is striking because natives accounted for 61 percent of the net increase in the overall size of the 18 to 64 year old population. \n\n\nAs for the less-educated, between March of 2000 and 2005 the number of adult immigrants (legal and illegal) with only a high school degree or less in the labor force increased by 1.6 million. \n\nA national unemployment rate of 5 percent is irrelevant to the current debate over illegal immigration because illegals are overwhelmingly employed in only a few occupations, done mostly by workers with only a high school degree or less. In these high-illegal occupations, native unemployment averages 10 percent — twice the national average. Moreover, the unemployment rate does not consider the growing percentage of less-educated workers who are not even looking for work and have left the labor market altogether. It would be an oversimplification to assume that each job taken by an immigrant is a job lost by a native. What is clear is that the last five years have seen a record level of immigration. At the same time, the unemployment rate of less-educated natives has remained high and the share that have left the labor force altogether has grown significantly. Wage growth has also generally been weak. Thus it is very hard to see any evidence of a labor shortage that could justify allowing illegal aliens to stay or to admit more as guestworkers. Rather, the available evidence suggests that immigration may be adversely impacting less-educated natives. The statistical findings of this study are consistent with other research that has looked at the pattern of immigrant job gains and native loses in recent years\nhttp://www.cis.org/articles/2006/back206.html\n\n\n\nThe U.S. unemployment rate today is at the highest level in 20 years. \nMillions of hard-working Americans who are desperate for jobs can't find them, and both the short term and long term prospects do not bode well for many American workers.\n\nThe economic problems we face would be bad enough if all we had to contend with were a recovering economy, the continued threat of terrorism, and increased competition from foreign companies. \n\nBut a Congress that should be looking for ways to help unemployed Americans is busy opening the floodgates to millions of new immigrants who take jobs away from Americans - and also helping companies take the remaining jobs offshore.\n\nIt almost appears that our government is committed to making sure everybody in the world has a job - except Americans.\n\nHistorically, the U.S. admitted around 300,000 legal immigrants per year, but Congress changed our immigration policies back around 1965 and opened the floodgates. We now allow more than a MILLION legal immigrants into the country each year. A small number of these are refugees; some have special skills not easily found here. But an increasingly large percentage of those pouring through our borders are undereducated, unskilled workers who threaten the income of blue-collar workers, the backbone of America. Millions more come here each year ILLEGALLY, and the government does nothin

Yes, it's illegal, and I've seen things on TV talking about how the authorities are starting to get tough on that sort of thing.\n\n.

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 lovely idea, but doesn´t sound like anything the current US administration would go for.  After all, while hyping the immigration issue in the media and, frankly, whipping up racism, they are also quite happy to turn a blind eye to US businesses using cheap illegal labour. It´s happening in all western countries at the moment.  The media, backed by the government, incites its citizens to be worried about illegal immigration, while the economy actually benefits from the black market economy working with it. I´m in Mexico now on holiday, but staying with family.  It´s a hard place, with a bad atmosphere.  It definitely needs some help, but everyone here says the corruption is so far reaching, there is no hope.  Your idea is nice but too socialist for anyone in today´s political arena and, like Iraq, would require serious investment, commitment and integrity..... never forget it´s all about the money.

Cuba still lets the USA use Guantanamo bay as a Navy base, and the States had to ask and recieve permission to house prisoners there. I suspect there might be closer ties than either side admits. ?But then again I am just a paranoid conspiracy theorist.

No one in the USA, citizen, or not is allowed to bring Cuban cigars onto USA soil. The penalty is 50,000. per cigar, if you get caught in the USA, with them, due to the embargo against Cuba. I discovered this during a cruise, by a US Customs official. We could smoke them while on the ship, and encouraged to attend the cocktails, and Cohibas party the night before arriving to dock. It was a cruise to remember. Several people were detained, their bags open, and dogs working the contents, once we docked. I suspect that if only cigars were found, they would be confiscated. I took no chances.

That is appalling.  I hadn't heard of that.  You're right - it is just an invitation to illegal immigrants to come in and all they have to do is stay low for 10 years and they have it made!  Nothing like encouraging illegal immigration - come on in!

Oil can be both a blessing & a curse! Especially when the USA invades your country to steal it. What could the Army steal from Cuba? A few cigars.\n\nAmerica tried to invade Cuba in the 60s as described below but it was a failure.

No, it already is a fascist governemnt, look at how out of touch the government is with the will of the people. We have illegal immigrants poised to get total amnesty. We have a supreme court that rules that local government can sieze your private property without giving just compensation as long as there is a money benefit in it for the local government. And our congress has passed the patriot act in direct violation of the 4th amendment (sneak and peak warrants with no judicail oversight, just a rubber stamp FISA court that must be notified 72 hours-3 months after the search was conducted).

As long as Cuba is communist the majority of people will live in poverty.  The United States still has some hatred for the Cuban govt. because of the missle crisis.  Cuba also tricked us into believing that they were capitalist.  As long as Cubans complain about Fidel or any one else with a similar regime i dont believe we will help and with out US help Cuba is doomed.  (remember we control most of the world bank)
