15 Cubans Who Got to Fla. Bridge Sent Home | Yahoo News

MIAMI - Fifteen Cubans who fled their homeland and landed on an abandoned bridge piling in the Florida Keys were returned to their homeland Monday after U.S. officials concluded that the structure did not constitute dry land.

Under the U.S. government's "wet-foot, dry-foot" policy, Cubans who reach dry land in the United States are usually allowed to remain in the country, while those caught at sea are sent back.

HAHA, I guess that'll be less idiot sheep that'll vote for the Republicans.
