Cuba: Obama ends Clinton’s immigration policy

Ace summarizes it in one sentence:

Babalu has facts and reaction to the news.

    Unfortunately, he still has time to hand over Gitmo. Perhaps 11 am next Friday? Shudder.

    Lots of Miami Cubans voted for Trump, especially after Obama started helping his Marxist buddies in Cuba. This is just a swipe at them. Marxists always blindly support other Marxists, no matter how horrible they are.
