The People Did Not Elect Me. I Speak With One Voice That May Echo Other People, But I Am Part Of A Group Of People. That's Not Distancing Yourself From A Community, That's Also Allowing The Space For Others To Speak For Themselves.

But On Arrival, The Haitians Are Incarcerated, And Some Are Immediately Repatriated, Whereas Cubans Get To Stay And Are Eligible For Citizenship.
