I think the excuse back then was that Haitians were a high risk of bringin new cases or AIDS into the country if I remember the particular excuse of the moment, I seem to remember this being the excuse of 25 years ago or so...

And what about the Cubans that are routinely sent back to possible execution or at least imprisonment for the crime of leaving Cuba.

Our stupid stance on Cuba only hurts the Cuban people, not the government. Grrrr again. You'd think the same political lobby that wants the Cuban sanctions would also lobby to give cubans a chance at freedom by entering the US.
