Po Side of the Island

This is the shabbier side of the island. Um...no I don't live on the island. (I think the newest resident is Tiger Woods)... I drive by, though...haha... anyway, I parked where it said no parking and took this one. Everywhere says no parking. no dogs. no entrance, no whatever. Arrrrgggghhhh!

Today a hundred-plus people, from Haiti, braved the ocean and came to the shore just south of here a bit.

I am ashamed to hear the words "will be sent back". What kind of thing is that?

How can anyone send them back?

What kind of sick thinking tells us that here, where there is plenty of room...we have no room?????

If you are Cuban and you can put one foot onto dry land...you are allowed to stay.
If they catch you in an inch of water, you are deported.

Who on earth thinks of these kinds of things????? An inch of water should determine if you stay after you have traversed such a distance with so many things to overcome?

Why can't both stay? We are writing letters, making calls...but yeah... we will not hold our breath waiting for this to change...yet...I really hope that it does - and soon.
