Why Johnny Can't Deport

Law would cut off aid to countries that refuse to accept illegal immigrant criminals

Visa sales are big, big money, and the Bureau of Consular Affairs is entirely operated on funds from passport and visa sales. Given that, I personally think it's a conflict of interests for State to be the determining body in cutting off visas to countries.

That's why the existing provisions have not been excercised.

The U.S. government counts 28,400 of them, with the vast majority free after serving prison time for their felony convictions in the United States. For decades, all of the released felons have been allowed to live in Florida and other parts of the United States under the supervision of immigration authorities because the federal government had no diplomatic relations with Cuba to deport them since the early 1960s. Of the total facing deportations, about 18,000 live in Florida. Generally speaking, the Obama administration has aggressively enforced U.S. law requiring the deportation of other foreign nationals with criminal convictions: More than one million felons have been sent back to their countries since 2009, mostly for immigration and drug-trafficking offenses, records show. But similar actions have rarely been pursued against Cubans in decades, largely owing to Havana’s refusal to take them back. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson told reporters on Thursday that “under our agreement with Cuba, there was also the possibility that the Cubans will accept back migrants outside of this arrangement, but on a case-by-case basis.” Gustavo Machin, deputy director of the U.S. section of Cuba’s Foreign Ministry, said his government would consider cases of Cubans who have “broken laws” in the United States and “can no longer remain” in the country. The issue is controversial, to say the least, because among the large number of Cuban felons now facing removal to their homeland are those convicted of committing more than 2,000 murders in the United States, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

We need a new country that's just a dumping ground for useless people again.

I'm thinking that everybody else took a vote and decided that we're that country . . . .

That might start changing in the near future, though.
