Cubans fleeing from socialism in home-made “crude vessel” are intercepted by Coast Guard

Even though every Cuban knows that fleeing to the U.S. in a boat or raft is extremely risky and that the end result will probably be deportation back to Castrogonia, Cubans keep trying to escape by that route anyway.

If desperation is measured by such illogical acts, then Cubans must be among the most desperate people on earth.

And the cause for their desperation is socialism. Try telling this to anyone who admires the Marx Sisters and their cohorts — including Comrade Kamala– and see how they respond. Chances are you’ll be feeling like Sysyphus before long, just like these Cubans recently intercepted on their way to the U.S., and the ones rescued from a deserted island earlier this week.

Gotcha! Back to your socialist paradise!

From The U.S. Coast Guard

A good Samaritan alerted Coast Guard Sector Key West watchstanders Monday to the people and rustic vessel.

Due to concerns of safety of life at sea, watchstanders launched a Station Islamorada rescue crew, and Customs and Border Protection crew also arrived on the scene.

Coast Guard rescue crews safely embarked on the seven men and one woman and transferred them to the Coast Guard Cutter William Trump crew.

“The Coast Guard and our partner agencies will continue to rescue and repatriate undocumented migrants who take to the sea in unseaworthy vessels without safety equipment or a way to call for help,” said Lt. Cmdr. Mario Gil, Coast Guard liaison officer to Cuba.

“Voyages like these are never worth the risk. The Florida Straits waters are unpredictable and the risk for loss of life is great on vessels such as this.”

The Coast Guard interdicted approximately 58 Cuban migrants who have attempted to illegally enter the U.S via the maritime environment in the fiscal year 2021, which began Oct. 1, 2020, compared to 49 Cuban migrants in the fiscal year 2020.
