Obama Administration’s apparent failure with Cuban human rights violator

Via Notes from the Cuban Exile Corner:

    "Hundreds of Cubans with nasty pasts are also living [in Miami]," and more are on the way. And no, they have no shame, which is one reason they're here. They'll take whatever assistance or subsidy they can get from any source, starting with government aid (as in our tax dollars). If they were prepared to screw Cubans in Cuba, why wouldn't they screw American taxpayers? As I said elsewhere, the problem is not that people abuse the system, but that the system allows and encourages abuse by enabling it.
