I wonder how, dry foot/wet foot is interpreted if they arrive by land. I don't think they can just walk to the booth at border control and show their Cuban passport. Is there like a "neutral zone" where you're not, technically standing on US territory yet?

This is how the dry foot/wet foot policy works:
All Cuban nationals that step foot on US territory, are automatically granted refugee status and paroled into the country for the first year and 1 day, they are required to report to immigration officials and pass health
and criminal background checks, if everything is cleared during that first year and 1 day, no arrests,good moral character, etc..., they are allowed to apply for permanent residency(green card),under the Cuban adjustment Act of 1966.
All Cubans picked up by the US Coast Guard in the Florida straights trying to make to the US , are processed on the Coast Guard boat and unless they can prove they will be tortured, jailed or killed by the Cuban government,are sent back to Cuba.

This is why most Cubans are in Miami, because they can't get away with their shenanigans anywhere else.

It's my opinion that US tax dollars shouldn't be used to help Cubans who don't bring anything to the table.

I think people who are always complaining about not hearing English are just NOSEY, then get mad cause they can't understand what others are saying,if you have no personal business or relationship with that person you shouldn't care what language they speak.

America is not a country is a continent.

Cubans were not given a city, what a ridiculous and ignorant comment.

Most Cubans are in Miami so they don't have to deal with the racist,ignorant trash that abounds in the rest of FL.

Indeed, I used to move around in a Vespa and I ran out of gas in Liberty City. I was lucky enough to be just besides a catholic church ran by a priest from galicia, I can't remember his name. He told me that the Lord gave me a new life that day. That priest had a radio show and was some sort of doomsday sayer, very funny.

Hispanic areas were not dangerous, you only had to double tie everything during 1980 and 1981 in places like 8st and Nw. because of marielitos, but the bad ones were dispatched soon.

Kendall experienced many slaughters, but it was drug killings, not related to people.

I got that, but I was referring to the situation going thru an established land border pass. By sea they manage to set foot on any of the keys, they are in US territory.
I've done the trip by land, thru Mexico, with a US Visa. At several points the Authorities stop You and if the purpose of your pass thru is a visit to the US, they demand proof of a US Visa. This intensifies as you approach the Mexico/US border, and most (if not all) with no US Visa are detained right there.
Mexico does not have a Cuban Adjustment Act, sooo all these 6,000 people will be given a clean exit stamp from the Mexican side and told: "RUUUN! Until both your feet are on the other side of that line you see there!"

Funny how initially it was just 2,500 Cubans stranded in Costa Rica. Now it jumped up to 6,000(!). This year alone, over 43,000 Cubans entered the US illegally. That's 1/3 the number of Cubans who entered the US through the Mariel boatlift. And that's just this year alone. That number does not include the 20,000 Cubans who are allowed to legally enter the country every single year. And now, an additional 6,000 Cubans will be allowed to enter the US, illegally, all in the name of "humaneness". At the rate it's going, Miami will soon be around 90% Cuban and just 10% everything else.

Very ignorant,racist post,They will enter the U.S.A LEGALLY,and the only reason they are coming it's because they can enter LEGALLY, so take your racist,ignorant trash B.S. somewhere else,turn off fox news and rush limbaugh for a few minutes and go outside,fishing or something.
Why do you care?,will any of this people affect your life? if you hate Cubans so much , you can move to 99.9% of the rest of the U.S. to avoid them.

Reminds me of a person that lived in Boca Raton and absolutely hated everything Jew.

He went beserk everytime he saw a Shoa conmemoration poster, he went crazy everytime he saw signs of Jewish festivities.

Those people have to "git going" because Jews and Cubans will not be going anywhere.
