Separate standard for Cubans

It would seem that U.S. policy favours Cubans being able to stay in the U.S. under the "wet feet, dry feet" policy.

A Cuban caught on the waters between the two nations (i.e., with "wet feet") would summarily be sent home or to a third country. One who makes it to shore ("dry feet") gets a chance to remain in the United States, and later would qualify for expedited "legal permanent resident" status and U.S. citizenship.

Yet 100 Haitian migrants reaching the Florida shore will be deported back to Haiti.

Hmmmm.
