>But that is why we accept any Cuban refugee who arrives on our soil (has that changed?). The same situation does not apply to Mexico. For Mexico, their life is not threatened by the regime but their economic opportunity is less.

I seriously doubt that even a smidge of the Cubans who try to make landfall in the U.S. have their life threatened by the regime. I bet they want to go to the U.S. for the same reasons Mexicans do - to earn a living towards a better life.

>>Perhaps my thinking this way comes from my family history. As I've hinted elsewhere in this thread, my mother's parents were victims of the Holocaust. (They were murdered in Auschwitz.) I look at the millions who died that way and I know that some people who survived did so only because they entered other countries illegally, or because bureaucrats from some countries broke all kinds of rules to get them paperwork to get out. I wish millions more had broken the law in those days.
