Absolutely no foreigner is "completely safe under the Trump Administration. He could care less whether you gave birth here. Birthright Citizenship is not something that he believes in. So what you're an " Naturalized" US citizen. He vows to take America back, by any means necessary. Under his stringent, tough stance on Illegal Immigrants. You can have your Naturalized Citizenship revoked. Instantly subjected to Denaturalization. Which means your US Citizenship has been suddenly revoked. Therefore, making one deportable from the USA, permanently. All of these Foreigners in the USA. Watch Out!!! The clock is ticking on random Mass Deportations throughout this Nation. You're not as American as you hoped to be under this new laws that Trump will implement in the incoming months. Many families will be torn apart.......at the drop of a dime!!! Furthermore, Trump could care less about who you are. Times will get worse for all Foreigners living within this Nation. Trust me. -

America got to protect its own land, territories and borders. We have been too nice for far too long. Now for once they will be in the same boat like other foreigners. Still complaining!!! How ungrateful. Now Cubans will know how Haitians feel for the very first time!!! Not a good feeling to be stuck in Mexico, huh?!!! Trump will not change that policy......besides he already said that" it's not fair for Cubans to enter the US without a Visa". The Cuban Welcome Mat has been permanently removed. Mexico repatriated 91 Cubans just recently. Other countries will follow suit.REPORT COMMENTS

It was time for a change! If your gonna give immigrants right and privileges, give it to all, not just a certain group. I am just hoping this new government doesn't reverse Obamas last minute decision. These Cubans have had it way too easy. It's time the government stops the handouts, earn a living like every other immigrant who comes to this country, no more section 8, welfare, etc, some of these benefits some US citizens don't get too easily. Thanks Barack Obama, I still feel it could be a strategy to protec them, since TRUmp is determined to overrule everything Obama did.REPORT COMMENTS

It's about equality and fairness for all, I am really hoping this policy doesn't get reinstated by the new president of this country. It's not about them not coming to this country, it's about not getting all the benefits other immigrants don't get . They come up with their sad story of how they get treated over there in their country, like the other immigrants that come here have it too easy lol, if that was the case they wouldn't come here. If the new president is not in favor of immigrants that should include giving equal treatment to Cubans just like the other immigrants from other countries , fairness to allREPORT COMMENTS

Trump, please. These Cubans aren't the same refugees from the 60's-80s. These Cubans are the type to snitch on neighbors and loved ones for brownie points, while they watch their innocent neighbors go to prison. In Cuba everyone is Communist now. They just want American currency/papers to travel back and fourth, to fund their lives on the island. That money will continue to fund the regime that they ALL secretly support, but pretend to hate for American entry. The fun is OVER. SEND THEM BACK.REPORT COMMENTS

Protests in Miami will not change Trump Immigration Reform Policies. Especially when Miami Cubans won't go back home to change their own Country. Why lie?!!! Trump said " Make America Great Again " by putting Americans first. If you wasn't born here, with the Cuban Adjustment Act being over. The Green Cards are deemed obsolete. America won't save you!!!REPORT COMMENTS

US Citizenship is a Privilege not a Right!!! Many foreigners of Cuban descent came here for free and abused that privilege. Now, since outgoing President Obama ended that woeful Wet Foot/ Dry Foot policy. Trump will execute his Executive Powers as the newly appointed President to round out as many illegals especially in Florida. Setting up for instant Deportations. How could you come here rob, steal and embezzle Billions from the USA and its Economy. Then expect Sympathy for your Wrongdoings? Your time is up. Wrong Country, indeed. Payback is a *****!!! ;) LOL Trump will send a Stern Message to all Cuban exiles who lauded that loophole for their own personal gain. The old rules will not apply under his new Immigration Reform Laws. Therefore, Green Card holders already in the United States will be subjected to the same laws like other foreigners. No more Special Treatment for Cubans!!! This could instantly get up to 1,000,000 Miami Dade County Cubans face Deportation Orders as Trump takes charge of his Office. They got to go back home and get in lin. Just like anybody else. They are no different or better than any other foreigners . Right is Right. Consider themselves "White Cubans " in Miami. Yeah right?!!! ;) LMFAOREPORT COMMENTS

Okay, Fidel Castro is dead. Wet Foot Dry Foot policy has ended. What's the holdup? It is time for America to rid itself of its filth. No more Cuban Preferential Treatment. EVER!!!! They are the most egregious foreigners to set foot on U.S. soil. Thanks Mr. Obama it is time for them to suffer like other immigrants struggling to come to America the right way. They took America's generosity as a weakness. Definitely. Just take a peek into " Third World " Miami. Feel like you need a Visa just going through the Airport. Refusing to speak English like this country owes them something. But learn some very fast before Trump orders Mass Deportations!!! That tired loophole is played out entirely. America is fed up with immigration as a Whole. WATCH OUT!!!REPORT COMMENTS

This truly is an unfair policy and I am so happy President Obama put an end to it. I am only sad it took so long. I know of so many Cubans who have come to this country to receive all the federal aid they can and go back to Cuba for vacation. How can they say they are politically persecuted and be going back and forth to Cuba. This is such a generous country and that is why certain people come here. They take advantage. Hooray for President Obama.REPORT COMMENTS

I think its fair to say this has gone on for far to long. There are so many immigrant who have really needed help from the US and have been turned away, for example Haiti. They have been living under tent in deplorably situation. A boat arrives and they are sent back. Half of them look like they are starving and probably are giving the life God has given them, I am american born female to Hispanic/American parents. They have work their whole life, tax payer and provided us (three children) with the best upbringing. Education was a propriety, no excuses. Later on the saved enough to open a business and all 3 children had to work for an allowance. Did we learn something, most definitely. Hard work pays off, anything is possible if you work hard at it, and nothing in life is free. I am a proud american who has been thought the value of life and a dollar. I believe if my parents worked so hard to give us a better life and that showed us the value of life. If you work hard and set your mind to it, anything is possible. American pride.REPORT COMMENTS

About damn time!!! ;) LOL No more Cuban free passes into the US. Best believe President elect Trump will show no love to them as he targets both documented and undocumented illegals entering this Country. What makes Cubans better than anyone else?!!! Absolutely nothing. Just ask Miami. They truly suck as a race and as a nationality of people. Cubans belong only in Cuba!!! Nowhere else. Thank God for President Obama!!!REPORT COMMENTS

It's not fair for the people that are born in America to continue to get discriminated against from the Cuban community and they are provided with all the necessary services that the American should have access to without complication. There are many Americans that have college degrees and they can not obtain employment because they are not bilingual. Americans should have rights to all the opportunities that are easily given out to the Cuban communities. This policy should no longer exist and make all cubans go through the process like every other immigrant that wants to have access to the American Dream.REPORT COMMENTS

It's incredibly ludicrous, that illegals come here, receive ample amount of help for ridiculously long periods of time, while there is no funding for Veterans, or those that pay taxes who may at times need their local resources. In addition to this madness, Citizens from different places who head major funding programs are passing out undeserved benefits to these illegals based on favoritism and intent to strengthen their own communities that consist of only them. Here in Dade County immigrants have exhausted the resources, as a way of life.REPORT COMMENTS

The Cuban people are the most fortunate in the world. No other nation has the immigration privileges that they enjoy. First they enjoy open boarders via thru Canada, Mexico, fly in or the open seas that has very little resistance from the cost guards. Once here on day one they demand public assistance, housing and even training to the proffesion of choice. Many go back to Cuba to fix the home they grew up in, now they have the American dream thanks to the generous hard working Americans, unfortunately for many of us that dream remains a dream. I will love to have a summer home in the Caribbean, unfortunately I can't afforded it.REPORT COMMENTS

This is ridiculous. More and more Cubans are coming every week and are just handed a welcome package. I bust my a$$ to support my family and don't take any handouts. Enough is enough.
