Self Analysis Post

After keeping up with this blog for a while, I have come to realize that as a person I have grown in my knowledge of the subject, and created an argument different from my first. When I initially began this blog post, I believed all Cuban immigrants should be allowed to receive political asylum, even if the were found at sea near South Florida Waters; therefore, I deeply looked into the Cuban American Culture with respect to their economic effect and political effects in Miami; and the current immigration policies set on Cubans. As the extent of my research grew, I came to see that this would be highly unrealistic to allow every immigrant into South Florida. Why you ask? Well mostly because this would create a large increase in the immigration waves of Cubans, it could have effect on treatment of people in Cuba, and it would call the change the 1996 U.S. Cuba Accord.

As the course of this blog I realized that not only would this is unrealistic but also that there was a better way to allow this matter to be potentially solved or become better. In order to do so, I argued about the influence that current Cuban-Americans have had in South Florida. By doing so, I was able to understand the flaws in my initial argument and able to find a sort of compromise that I believe should be established. In my theory post, I stated that the wet foot/dry foot should be enforced even if found at sea, but different measures should be taken to accommodate these Cubans in order to relieve them of the possible suffering they may face if they are repatriated. In my previous post, Nature Man questioned others countries acceptance and want of these Cuban immigrants. Although there is a possibility that some countries may not allow political asylum to Cubans, most developed countries may in order to allow these immigrants to have a connection with an uncorrupted government. Yes, It may be expensive to do so and it may affect our economy in some way, but by helping these people the U.S. would be helping weaken the Castro Regime and giving these people a chance to live in a environment in which a climate of fear has not been established.
