Deported from Florida to Cuba, this mom saw her 17-month-old US daughter – and her American dream – ripped away

[Grizzly Adams]

What thr hell is wrong with you people?

Literally nothing. Having a kid while you happen to exist on US soil should not be a free pass to stay forever.

 

[NolanVoyd]

The CAA requires the person to have entered the country legally. She didn’t.

No it doesnt.

Wet foot dry foot. If a Cuban set a dry foot on US soil they were legal.

Don't make stuff up.

 

[Napoleon]

Think again.

It was a Democrat, Lyndon Johnson, who signed the Cuban Adjustment Act into law. It's a Republican who is defying it.

The law requires being in the USA for a year.
If they are caught entering unlawfully, still subject to removal

That doesn't prove your point it proves mine.

Applicants for Cuban Adjustment are subject to the inadmissibility grounds at INA § 212(a). However, there are some exceptions: the public charge ground at 212(a)(4); the labor certification ground at 212(a)(5); Applicants for Cuban Adjustment are subject to the inadmissibility grounds at INA § 212(a). However, there are some exceptions: the public charge ground at 212(a)(4); the labor certification ground at 212(a)(5); arrival at a place other than a port of entry at 212(a)(6)(A);

In other words they are excepted from the provision that they arrive legally.

8 USC 1158 does not require legal entry to request asylum.

No it doesn’t. See the section titled “Inspection, Admission, or Parole in the United State.” Additionally, CAA status isn’t something that just happens out of thin air. The person must submit an application for it and she never did.

Bottom line is who cares?

She is married and the mother of US citizen. Why rip that family apart when it would be easy to just let her fix her immigration status.

Why is it a good idea to rip the families of American citizen children apart?

Why?

Why?

There is no area of law in which having a family exempts you from consequences. What’s next? Sending kids to the drunk tank with their parent(s) or family prison cells?

 

[Loulit01]

Didn't it used to be US policy to accept all Cuban refugees?

Yes, it did.

Thats an awful response.


So you think it's worth it to permanently rip the family of US citizen apart because the mom committed an immigration infraction?????

Thats ****ing disgusting!!!!!

What the hell happened to you people?

I hope you dont cal yourself a Christian or a patriot.

 

[NWRatCon]

Yes.

The interests of the US citizen child should be paramount.

The US citizen should stay in America and her mom should stay with her.

What thr hell is wrong with you people?

So, so much.

 

[Napoleon]

Whether or not that’s permenant is up to the husband. The bottom line is that being married with or without children is not a consideration even for American citizens. Making babies isn’t an immunity to the consequences of breaking the law for anyone in this country.

 

[NWRatCon]

"In April, Sánchez was contacted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that an appointment she had with officers was being moved up to the next day. Still, her attorneys told her it was likely a routine check-in. Instead, when she showed up for the appointment with her daughter Kailyn and an attorney, ICE agents told her she was being taken into custody and to hand over her daughter to relatives.

“Call the father to come get her, you are staying here,” Sánchez said the agents informed her."

 

[NWRatCon]

Didn't it used to be US policy to accept all Cuban refugees?

That was before "being while brown" was re-criminalized.

 

[NolanVoyd]

Whether or not that’s permenant is up to the husband.

No its not.

are you suggesting the Husband move the family to Cuba?

You dont think moving a US citizen to a corrupt, dictatorial, foreign country isnt ripping that US citizen's life a part.

The bottom line is that being married with or without children is not a consideration even for American citizens. Making babies isn’t an immunity to the consequences of breaking the law for anyone in this country.

The priority should be the best interests of the US citizen child. Not petty enforcement of rules.

Its stop dusgusting!

 

[JMR]

I wonder if she can get an H-1B visa to work at Mar A Lago when Trump does his annual importation of foreign workings instead of hiring Americans.

From what I've read he only hires Eastern Europeans on the H-1B visa....

She entered lawfully. It's in the report in the op.

 

[Grand Mal]

Yes, it did.

Still is. It's called the Cuban Adjustment Act.

 

[Gatsby]

Cubans are one of the few nationalities that should have a relatively easy and straightforward asylum process if they reach America. One of Barack Obama's last acts in office was to repeal that policy and treat them more like other nationalities for asylum purposes, due to a deal he struck with the Cuban government to warm diplomatic relations. Trump threw away the deal in his first term, but kept the tougher asylum rules. Biden didn't do anything to fix it either.

 

[NWRatCon]

I'm trying to determine the basis for her deportation. Under the CAA:

"Cubans are exempt from any immigration quotas, and are also exempt from the following requirements which are imposed on most other immigrants:

• Showing a family-based or employment-based reason for residency
• Entering the United States at a legal port of entry
• Not being a public charge

The Cuban Adjustment Act remains in the books with little modification. Migration flow and control has been a long standing pawn in U.S. Cuba relations, and there is not enough domestic clamor in the U.S. for the U.S. government to concede to Cuba's demands to eliminate the law, according to expert Prof. Michael Bustamante."

She's been in the US more than a year, was paroled in 2019, is not on public assistance, and has no criminal record. What am I missing?

Did she submit an application? Or has she been running around for 6 years hoping no one would notice?
