Caribbean Net News: US nabs illegal immigrants from Haiti, Jamaica, smuggled from Bahamas (http://www.caribbeannetnews.com/article.php?news_id=22602 - broken link)

Funny, I didn't see MECHA or any of the La Raza groups out protesting the deportation of these people.

Maybe they aren't very concerned with the "rights" of illegals but only a certain kind of illegal?

I think it was because they were in Florida and not Arizona? Maybe because they are darker than cubans? I don't know--maybe the cubans are tired of sharing Florida?

On another thought, I went to Jamaca once, on a cruise, and even in the popular tourist area kids were trying to pick pockets from every one. That is a really poor place, I would leave if I could.

I suspect that's it. The MECHA protestors were awfully quiet on this.

Why IS that? I mean, aren't they for ALL illegal aliens? Where's the hooplah? Was racial profiling an issue? Were their Constitutional rights violated? Do they have a lawyer? Two, twenty? And their government? I'm sure they are all in line ready to boycott and sue the US....

Freaking hypocritical racists.
