Obama is truly a low-life! m/r
WASHINGTON
(AP) -- President Barack Obama is ending a longstanding immigration
policy that allows any Cuban who makes it to U.S. soil to stay and
become a legal resident, a senior administration official said Thursday.
The
repeal of the "wet foot, dry foot" policy is effective immediately,
according the official. The decision follows months of negotiations
focused in part on getting Cuba to agree to take back people who had
arrived in the U.S.
The U.S. and Cuba planned
to issue a joint statement late Thursday. The official insisted on
anonymity in order to detail the change ahead of the announcement.
The
official said the Cubans gave no assurances about treatment of those
sent back to the country, but said political asylum remains an option
for those concerned about persecution if they return.
President-elect Donald Trump has taken a
tougher line on U.S. relations with Cuba and could undo the change once
he takes office.
