Misplaced Priorities

Misplaced Priorities - When the President is offering amnesty and the benefits of near-citizenship to illegal aliens to sneak across our undefended border with our "friend" Mexico, and yet our Coast Guard is still intercepting Cubans who risk death, sharks, and a Cuban jail to cross to Florida and sending them back to Castro's worker's paradise, something's wrong.

Especially when they're this brave, ingenius and persistent.

Three Cuban families' hopes of puttering to South Florida in a green, 1959 propeller-powered Buick were dashed Wednesday when the tail-finned, floating car was sunk, just like their first ingeniously engineered amphibious vessel, a 1951 Chevy truck rigged to a pontoon of 55-gallon drums, an exile source said.

Our administration has done a stupendous job at calling a spade a spade and unravelling the Carter/Bush I/Clinton-era mania for referring to terrorists and thugs as "heads of state" and "participants in the world community". One hopes he'll do the same for Castro someday.
