The “let’s- pretend- we’re- refugees” act of the Normalization Circus may be its biggest hit right now.
The yo-yo’s keep coming, like a rising tide.
Does the U.S. need more of these Cuban “refugees”? No, but King Raul certainly does. They are his main source of foreign aid.
It’s well-known that many — or most — of these “refugees” become “guelferianos” (welfare leeches) who send taxpayer money to their relatives in Cuba and travel back and forth to the land they fled like no other “refugees” on earth.
This is not about political repression. It’s about “me” (yo), it’s about “solving problems” and not caring about political repression, it’s about claiming to be a refugee but aiding the Castro regime instead.
Nice refrain for an old fashioned Cuban song: “Yo soy lo unico que me importa, yo y yo y el ir y volver como un yo-yo” (I only care about me, me,me, and my back-and-forth as a yo-yo).
Welcome to the top act in the Normalization Circus.
Cuban “refugees” six months after arrival in U.S.
From KTRH news, Houston:
Cubans putting more stress on U.S./Mexico border
Shelters and churches along the southern border are bracing for an influx of cuban immigrants flooding into the U.S.
Some estimates say more than 24,000 Cubans have arrived in Texas since last October, with up to 350 expected each day. Jorge Ferragut with Casa Cuba Houston says they’re met by various agencies lending support and services.
“Catholic Charities, YMCA, with the resources of the government, they pay three or four months on an apartment, handle all the papers with immigration, food stamps and etecetera,” says Ferragut.
Its those benefits, according to Ira Mehlman at the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which are draining our resources. He points to an expose conducted in South Florida last year.
“After a year they qualify for all the means tested benefits, and in many cases people were returning to Cuba and living off the benefits they were collecting from American taxpayers,” says Mehlman.
Mehlman says the recent influx is driven mainly by the fear the U.S. will do away with the Cuban Adjustment Act, signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson.
“This has become, in many cases, a scam, and the American public is paying for it,” he says. “Its all the result of a 50-year-old policy that should have been done away with a long, long time ago.”

Just as with Mexican illegal immigrants, this will never stop as long as the root cause is not terminated, and the responsible parties have NO intention of removing the problem because THEY are the problem. Thus, the only practicable option is for the US to act seriously and effectively to protect itself and its interests, but unfortunately that doesn’t look promising, either. Therefore, the RELAJO will not only continue but escalate–and no, there’s no point in trying to shame the players out of playing as long as there’s enough in it for them. It’s a very bad business.
