So Obama committed a vindictive, partisan ambush-style lame duck act for wholly partisan reasons. He's terrible & you r terrible

As Twitchy told you, with one foot already out the door, President Obama has decided to stick it to Cuban refugees some more by putting an end to the “wet foot/dry foot” policy, effective immediately. Oddly enough, liberals don’t seem terribly upset at this particular slap in the face to needy immigrants.
MSNBC’s Joy Reid offered up one of her characteristically brilliant takes in response to the news:
Ending "wet foot, dry foot" is a huge shot across the GOP bow, making Cuban-Americans, the lone GOP Hispanics, subject to Trump deportation.

So, not only does she seem weirdly giddy about Obama leaving behind yet another mess for Trump, but she’s also comfortable making blanket generalizations about America’s Hispanic population. Isn’t that, like, racist or something?
Excuse me, but this Cuban American wants to know why you think we’re the “lone GOP Hispanics" https://t.co/LlI2ynXHHI

Good question.
