The Cuban Government emptied out its jails. opened up its mental institutions and shipped its undesirables onto our shores. I am relieved that they are taking back their excludables. but I have long believed that they should have never sent them to us in the first place. I wonder if the Cuban people know of their Governments unique immigration policy? A policy of issuing "instant visas" to hardened criminals and mental patients. I wonder if they are aware of the havoc wreaked by their governments defiance of our immigration laws and of our new resolve to enforce stricter control of our own borders? And of our resolve to ensure that another Mariel does not happen again? If Radio Marti were operational.
