Well, it is the responsibility of the U.S. Coast Guard to enforce all laws as directed by the Congress and Supreme Court.

By the way, I DO WANT fewer restrictions on borders between the U.S. and the rest of the North American and Caribbean community, and I do realize that many migrants are forced to come here illegally.

But still, the Coast Guard has a job to do, and a lot of the small boats and makeshift rafts are not very seaworthy. People die.

In a way, the USCG's mission isn't that bad.

Also I should recall that Miami-Dade's economy couldn't have grown much if it wasn't for Cuban immigrants establishing thousands of little restaurants where they sold(and sell) coladas in order to support their families. Stop looking at the clouds and guinea pigs and I'll assure you'll be smart enough to know the facts :) Judging by your apparent un-educated mind and poorly controlled racial prejudice I can pick out the fact that you can't do anything to stop Cubans from coming to the US.

About the drying of Lake Okeechobee... I should recall that since you talk so much shit, and that makes you have an overwhelming need to drink, you and many other racist,illiterate folks are the main cause of the water shortage in South Florida. I think you may also know that the millions of Cubans are the ones who build hospitals, streets, and schools, from taxes, and that Miami wouldn't have actually grown by 65% if it wasn't for the massive migrations :)

first of all I am a 14 year old cuban and I'm very proud of being cuban and living in the US as well. I came here and as you now notice I SPEAK ENGLISH perfectly and so does my mother and father who studied very hard for it. It is a shame that since Cuba is a communist and anti-capitalist society there aren't any english classes in Cuba, meaning that those who run away have to learn it regardless of them being 10,30,50, or 100 years old.
