Wet Foot, Dry Foot?

This is not exactly hot off the presses, however its pissing me off.

Early last Thursday morning, while the Department of Homeland Security were eating pancakes at Denny's, over 20 Cuban migrants armed with homemade nuclear weapons showed up at Key West International Airport.

OK no nukes but no passports, visas or plane tickets either. Come to mention it, they were kinda damp, like they swam the last few yards ashore. Who'da thunk it, with our borders being so rock solid secure and all?

This is yet another wacky example of Homeland Security playing Keystone Cops. While mothers are being asked to drink expressed breast milk at airports to prove the milk is not in fact the secret liquid bombs now being used by terrorists, Cubans are washing up all along the South Florida coast with impunity. So are Haitians, for that matter, but because they are black and have no political power in Miami, they are immediately sent back to Haiti while the Cubans are given houses and benefits and the freedom to burn US flags.

They really need to rename the wet foot/dry foot policy White Foot/Black Foot.
