So just remember, not necessarily a bad thing to be the straw man.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!
I guess you think that gives you good enough cover to slip out of the thread?
Here's an idea: Why don't you salvage your reputation a bit, and actually address the countering facts and questions on the topic of the thread? Have a real conversation, in which people respond on point with thoughtful, verifiable replies. Might be worth a try.
Why not just answer the question, and stop trying to change the subject or hurl mindless, petty insults ?
Too much to ask ?
For a change, I'd appreciate it if ANYONE would reply to the original point, instead of blindly blurting out " yeah, but ...!!! ".

Hell, if by "ANYONE" you include yourself, I'd love it if you'd answer the question, too.

Why should one immigrant be more special than another ?
If you're from Africa, India or Poland, you're treated 1 way as an immigrant. But if you're from Mexico or further south, you're treated COMPLETELY different.
That DOES include Cuba, doesn't it?
Why SHOULD one immigrant be more special than another?
You posed the question. Why won't you answer it?

I mean, if we're going by "fairness"...
Prime example of a straw man argument.

Okay, Rappy, here's your answer: I think ALL immigrants should be treated alike.
Now, will you answer the question about Cubans?

You're intentionally interjecting Cuba to avoid my question. Cuba is a separate issue, and has been, for 50 years. I'll not bother w/ your straw man.

Cuba's situation is complicated by the embargo. You're essentially saying you want the embargo dropped, correct ?

Now you're being obstinate. You know damn well that nothing per immigration can be done w/ regards to Cuba w/ out the embargo status being changed.
I'll not play this game.
