Surging Scourge on the Covid Border

Troubles along the southern border of the United States have been increasing month after month, conceivably breaking a quarter of a million per month. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has announced repeatedly that the southern border is closed and secure. This forces one to choose between Mayorkas lying or his simply being completely out of touch. The reality is that there is no plus side to the open border policies by President Biden. These policies will lower wages, largely at the low end of the scale; stretch assistance programs, such as food stamps, breaking state budgets; and most dangerous are the diseases including COVID, influenza, tuberculous among all too many others. What makes this situation even more problematic is President Biden and his administration are enacting this open border as official policy. Equally dangerous is that virtually none of these so-called incoming undocumented residents of any non-gated community could soon be residing in any inner-city or suburban residential neighborhood, possibly yours. This will go hand-in-hand with plans to force zoning changes for these same neighborhoods to begin placing high-rise apartments which will include “affordable housing (section 8 housing)” as well as housing for undocumented residents relocating from the border regions.

President Biden and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas

President Biden and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas should be very proud of the fantastic efficiency with which they destroyed all restrictions at the southern border with Mexico. But the southern border with Mexico is not the only nation where refugees; real, true, honest, desperate political refugees and the contrast is as appalling as it is inexcusable. That border is a wet border and the nation is Cuba. Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has made it clear that any Cubans attempting to reach the shores of the United States will be intercepted before they even catch a glimpse of the land of the free. One can only expect that the old wet-dry differentiation where should a Cuban reach the shores of the United States they may remain while those who are caught at sea are returned to Cuba. We are as disgusted with this Cuba policy where we fear all will be returned even should they reach Iowa, near the center of the lower forty-eight.

We have a suggestion for any Cuban wishing to make their way to the United States. Take whatever floatation device or system upon which you are about to bet your life and head west-southwest, not north. The Yucatan Peninsula is approximately the same distance as mainland Florida excluding the Florida Keys. From the Yucatan Peninsula one can follow the stream of humanity heading north through Mexico and cross over the open border of the United States. Cubans can feel assured that there will be no questions or other hassles Cubans would face under the Biden administration and can expect the Border Police to be accommodating offering cold water and a free bus, train or jet to the location of your choice. Perhaps this route can serve the oppressed Cubans very nicely and they actually deserve this treatment from the land of the free and the home of the brave, and any Cuban making to America by this means deserves no less.
