Have you noticed the GOP is not upset with Cuban immigration but hate immigration from the rest of Latin America? Cubans can stay as long as they reach our soil, automatically with no questions asked.

Has to be one of the most ill-informed (although maybe you were being purposefully obtuse?) posts ever. To compare Obama's visit to Cuba with Nixon's visit to China is either demagoguery or history revisionism.
At least until the Clinton administration, we had historically afforded Cubans who escaped Cuba and the Castro regime as refugees because to send the back was likely a death sentence. At least initially, many of these folks were not "illegal immigrants" but individuals fleeing from the likes of el Che and were granted political asylum. I hope you're not suggesting that most of the the folks coming over our southern border are political refugees and need to be granted asylum.
