    The cold is war over. The only people concerned about this policy are south Floridians. This doesn't affect the Midwest. Most people don't have a clue about this in the rest of the U.S. Since times have changed, this policy needs to go away. Thanks.

    Time to make some changes! Cubans come to Miami and are incredibly lazy! They think you don't have to work hard to earn a living here. They come and immediately get on welfare while there are thousands who need it more than them.

    How can we as citizens stop it instead of complaining? No politicians on either side even mentions this tremendous problem.

    Please end the wet foot/ dry foot policy. I am 30 years old I have been working since I was 17. A few years back I lost my job and went to ask for health insurance and was not approved because " I'm going to school full-time." I couldn't believe it when the lady told me that. I was born in this country. I pay taxes. Lots of taxes to be exact. I have student loans. I see all these Cubans get to Miami everyday and they get everything. Foodstamps, money to live on, money for school. And here I am working my butt off to get a phone call from school that I have to come up with $6500 dollars to pay for my last semester because I will not be receiving anymore school loans. These people come here and commit fraud and steal peoples identities. You see them driving around in S550's and maserattis. Wearing rolexs and huge gold chains. And then paying in the supermarket with and EBT card. That is just ridiculous. Something has to be done. We should help the people born in this country. The vets that fought and are still fighting for this country. Please eliminate this wet foot/ dry foot policy. PLEASE!

    Unfair for others. There should be no special treatment for one particular group.

    Tired of having people who don't want to work. We allow benefits them just because of some favoritism. We all have to work hard, so they can live without having to.

    I appreciate what Mariana C. - a Cuban - had to say on June 12. Furthermore, I agree with her. My surrounding neighbors are mostly Cubans. With only one exception, they are takers. Adding insult to injury: Not only do they work the US welfare system and give nothing back to either English-speaking communities or American society in general, they also have a blatant disregard/disgust for this country that has been too good to them for far too long. Section 8 housing, food stamps, cash assistance, free education, Medicaid, SSI...WTF? They can't even vote - or bother to learn our common language - yet politicians give them everything for nothing. Without going into specific examples, suffice it to say that I know of which I speak. Am I resentful of these parasites and my government giving away all of these freebies to non-citizens who haven't earned them? You bet I am.

    It's time to put an end to this absurd and hypocritical policy. Cubans should not be exempt from federal laws. Time to repeal this policy.

    I am Cuban and the hand out and abuse is too much.. My father came in the 50's and WORKED! This country gave him opportunities not handouts. What's coming to Miami daily are not "political refugees or oppressed ppl" they are well educated on how to come and scam our system and selling all their property in Cuba, and then going back to flaunt how stupid we, the ones that work are! Enough is enough!

    This needs to stop NOW. We are having relations with a communist country yet Cubans are coming to the Florida keys weekly The arrive and get medical, food stamps. Social security and much more. Then they travel back to Cuba. And some buy homes with our American tax payer monies. Wonder why there's not going to be social security left. This is so wrong. Why should I pay taxes to the government and 1000 a month for insurance when Cubans who come here illegally get it for free along with part of my social security. Then they stand off and hide on a lighthouse refusing to come down for hours and the Sanchez group is fighting for them to stay here and now living on a coastguard cutter to a judge decides!! Really this is wet foot they never touched dry land. If I were to disobey authorities I would be fined This wet fot dry foot needs to stop now. Why hasn't Obama stopped this. OMG he went to a communist country and took his family there so it can't be to bad of a place Mr president stop giving our hard earned money to thes Roaches. End this wasteful we foot dry foot now

    This policy needs to end. The new wave of Cubans are self entitled, and feel the US owes them money. The minute they come here they know where the welfare office is. They continue to collect checks, and later go back to Cuba to spend American dollars!! Enough!!! They also don't follow rules. It'a becoming an impossible situation.
