Veteran immigration attorney Ira Kurzban, who is not involved in the case, called the Coast Guard decision ridiculous.

"The wet-foot, dry-foot policy has no foundation in law," he said. Kurzban said the policy is inconsistent with U.S. and international law, noting that the federal government's jurisdiction extends beyond dry land to waters as far out as 100 miles (160 kilometers).

"International law says that refugees should be granted a hearing before they are forcibly returned," he said.

That part must really bend your brain eh Canis?

Doesnt bend it one bit, but then again, the way I see these things should have been apparent to you by other discussions pertaining to this topic. Still narrow minded as ever, aren't you?

I think the US should at least hear their case, before making a decision to send them back.

How about the US allows all the immigrants, but for every immigrant that wants in, they annex ~100sqm of whatever country's territory.

Problem solved.

You're just not worth the effort that goes into any explanation, but I am periodically willing to humor you put of pity.
