FAFO ... in the land of face eating leopards.
https://www.rawstory.com/travel-ban-2674212760/
One such Cuban American is Arely Díaz Leal, a resident of Tampa, Florida, who close to a decade ago applied for her son to be allowed to immigrate to the United States. Leals son has still not been granted a visa, and following the Trump administrations travel ban on Cuba purportedly implemented to protect the United States from terrorism her prospects of reuniting with her son have grown even less likely.
... another Cuban American pushing back against the White House is Leymi Reyes Figueredo, who immigrated legally from Cuba to Miami, Florida in 2022, but left her now 15-year-old daughter behind. Having planned to reunite in Miami this year, Figeredo was left devastated after learning in August that her daughters visa had been denied.
I understand why you have to protect the country, [but] how is a child a terrorist? Figueredo said, speaking with the Post.

(14,988 posts)"These Trump lovers are just plain different. I saw an interview of this very backwoods couple--too poor to rub two pennies together. They were talking about how the ACA saved the husband's life because they had no other health coverage and he would have died without it. The interviewer was asking them questions about it. To paraphrase he basically said "Well, you know that's Obamacare right?"
Wife: "Oh no..we didn't know that".
Interviewer: "Well, you know Trump wants to do away with that don't you?"
Wife: "Yes we heard Obamacare is a handout for illegals to get free healthcare".
Interviewer: "But it's what saved your husband's life. Does that make you reconsider Trump's position?"
Wife: "Oh no we just looove Trump!""

(34,999 posts)The whole "wet food-dry foot" policy that gives Cubans who come over here undocumented favorable treatment that is not given to counterparts from any other country. You' and the rest of yours would be considered a "terrorist" if not for that rule, too. No more privilege for you.
