too lazy to check, but wasn't the penalty for an American possessing a Cuban cigar anywhere in the world extremely harsh?

I don't think anyone was ever given the punishment but I seem to recall the Gov could slap a fine of multiple thousands of dollars and up to 14 yeas in jail...

that ain't jay walking stuff.

Q:
What is the penalty for bringing Cuban cigars into the United States?
A:
Quick Answer
U.S. citizens face penalties in the form of a 10-year prison sentence, $100,000 in corporate fines, $65,000 in civil fines and $25,000 in individual fines for importing Cuban cigars into the United States. Americans are also not allowed to smoke Cuban cigars on foreign lands

YIKES!!!!!! 😱

It's a misdemeanor the first time... If they come back they are felons.. I'd bet way over half of the illegals are felons... How many do we deport everyday..?? 😕

I'd also like to point out that this is incorrect as well. In so far as I believe the discussion was about these Dreamers people, who qualify for DACA. This is not your average illegal immigrant who jumps the border weekly to work. These are US established people. If they were deported they likely wouldn't even have the local knowledge or connections to find their way back into the states.

Jesus. Based on what was referenced earlier in this thread that looks like it makes it a felony.

I didn't realize I spent so much time hanging out with hardened criminals here. Good thing everyone does their time any time they get caught with cubans....

It seems that the Trump administration is now charging first-time illegal immigrants with the crime of illegal entry, and then deporting them after their sentence.. In the past, most illegals were only deported, so past practice had been that it was not treated as a crime if you were caught in the US illegally. Now it is being treated as a crime.

Either change the law or punish them thoroughly. Actually even if you change the law it shouldn't be retroactive and those cuban cigar smokers should get max punishment. You don't want to encourage breaking the law because it might pay off later.

send them all to jail, fine them.... then work on a solution

Has Trump stirred up animus against immigrants, or has he just tapped into a latent but heartfelt belief among some Americans? Until he occupied the WH, it seemed inevitable that there would be a comprehensive immigration reform plan passed. Now, it does not appear likely that it would include humane treatment of families, DACA or pathways to citizenship.
