Is it true that (illegal immigrant question)...

[Space Puppy]

If an illegal immigrant coming from somewhere like say, Cuba actually touches American soil they get to stay?

[hyper]

no

[pornguy]

From Cuba only. That law was put into place by Clinton...

[swedguy]

Yes, Cubans only

Cubans, as long as they are able to touch American soil, are able to stay and receive government help. Often Haitians are turned back by the thousands, and those who do make it by being smuggled in are considered illegal immigrants and within a few days deported to Haiti.

Since this was done by Clinton and since we do know he is very literal about the meaning of words, can I ebay American soil to cubans and let them come here?
