So...a cuban refugee talks about coming here by boat to escape communism.

I reckon living in Florida and being wealthy gives him the stage. What about others escaping tyrannical home situations?
I guess they arent from the right countries, maybe.

That’s absolutely it. Remember, the U.S. opened arms wide to Muslims in the 90s...blond-haired, blue-eyed Muslims from Eastern Europe, that is...

@bijouxbroussard immigrants, throughout our history have always been denigrated by a large number of the population.
But we had open arms and eventually stereotypes went away....but those immigrants didnt look so different. And the languages were historically recognizable.
When I stand back and look at it from the outside, that history is so telling, and very uncomfortable.

Edit: as it should be.
