another immigration post???

In Miami, on Hallendale Beach, a small wooden sailboat ran ashore, releasing over 100 Hatian refugees who had been floating on the ocean, by one account, for 22 days. One person died on the voyage, while others are being treated for dehydration. The small boat was stated to have been grossly overcrowded and conditions sub-par. the refugees will be detained in a facility while their fate is decided. In reality most of them most likely be deported back to Haiti.
Since the Cuban revolution took place, refugees from cuba have often attempted to reach U.S shorelines in small boats or rafts. The refugees who arrive from Cuba are allowed to stay in the country, without being detained, while decisions are made concerning them. In the 1980's a large influx of Cubans reached the shores of Florida and were allowed to stay, and still today we see this policy. Many think it is unfair that Cubanrefugees are allowed this privelage while the refugees from Haiti have virtually already been sent back to their country.
