Florida Power & Light reported to nuclear regulators that 33 Cubans landed in the cooling canals of the Turkey Point nuclear power plant on Thanksgiving.

The report indicates that at 1:28 p.m. Thursday a member of the Cuban group called the Turkey Point control room saying they had landed in the canal area with 29 adults and four children.

The control room then called plant security, "who located and assumed control over the Cuban nationals without incident." Security called Miami-Dade police for assistance. Police arrived at 2:25 p.m., which then called U.S. Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Telephone calls to Border Patrol were not immediately returned.

FPL said in an e-mail that the plant site was not affected in any way.

How can we continue to allow entry to these banana boat rafters infest our community with their great work ethic, criminal activity and all around loser mentality? We allready have enough losers in Miami, do we really need any more drug dealing? The nuclear power plant security should've thrown them into the reactor, that would've been their best move. Now we have 33 more idiots that will get blackberries and drive around in cadillac escalades that they have stolen and act like they own this place. Got to hand it to the trash we have here in Miami, they really have done a number on this town and turned into a crime ridden cesspool of wannabe gangbangers and thugs that should go get a job and learn how to speak proper english.
