>>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 was thinking the same thing, but wasn't sure. I'm not crazy about that either then, but there are many millions less of the Cubans and they tend to stay in Florida, which I don't like anyway. It is interesting that we call the cubans "refugees" and the Mexicans "illegals." The more I think about it, the less I'm liking the whole Cuban thing. Thanks for that Jim! <g>
