Honest answer, however my question had nothing to do about Trump.illegal Cubans are fleeing oppression & tyranny from a communist govt.
You never explained the difference between illegal Cubans, and illegal Mexicans. Originally Posted by wordup666

They may claim to be, because if they get sent back they will only be returned to Mexico, so they don't have to travel so far and cross the Southern Mexico border again!

Going back to the OP (which had nothing to do with Mexicans, legal or otherwise), this is about Obama waiting until the last second and pulling the proverbial rug out from under a number of desperate people trying to escape the tyranny of Cuba. They're royally fucked now. Mexico won't keep them around and they'll be sent back to Raul's prisons. The same people who attacked Trump for inconveniencing about 100 Middle Eastern nationals happily forget what their feckless leader did only a couple of weeks ago. Why are we vetting Middle Eastern people? Terrorism. Why did we stop allowing Cubans in? You'll have to ask Obama that question but it wasn't terrorism.

In case you missed it one of the last things that President Obama did before leaving on an extended vacation was to end our policy of accepting Cuban refugees and escapees. The last word is that nearly 300 Cubans were waiting in Mexico for that last bit of their journey to freedom and Obama shuts them down. Back they go to the remaining Castro ghoul for prison. Compare this to Trump;These come from Homeland Security and are as of Tues.
We're told a little over a hundred refugees from terrorist nations got sent back from whence they came. Were they terrorists? We don't know but we couldn't be sure of anything. The press, the left, the democrats are outraged that Trump would do this to people but for the Cubans....silence and we know that there were no terrorists among the Cubans.
Why does the left (that means democrats, press, and activists) hate Hispanic people sooooo much?
as opposed to the Middle Eastern refugees

WASHINGTON — A far larger number of people were affected by President Trump’s executive order on refugees than he initially said, Department of Homeland Security officials acknowledged on Tuesday.
Mr. Trump posted on Twitter that only 109 people were detained or denied entry into the United States after his order, but during a news briefing at the Customs and Border Protection agency’s headquarters on Tuesday, officials said that 721 people had been denied boarding for the United States after it began enforcing the travel ban. The agency said it processed waivers for 1,060 green card holders, and an additional 75 waivers granted to immigrant visa and nonimmigrant visa holders.
Homeland security officials said the White House was referring to the number of people who were either detained or denied boarding during the initial hours after the travel ban was signed, a total based on preliminary calculations. Originally Posted by Munchmasterman
