I think we should make Cruz and Rubio joint ambassadors to Cuba. They are
Cubans after all and it'll keep them out of trouble.

Rubio used to say that his parents came to the US fleeing Castro, but it
turned out they came before Castro, so he does't say it anymore.

Is there much difference between Batista & Castro? I think not. Point

It's not what you think. It's what Cubans who live in America think,
and they think there's an enormous difference.

being is why Rubio's family came here in the first place...escaping
dictatorship and brutality. Repression, misery and agony.

I guess you have known Cubans, met many and have lived in Miami
before.

I guess so.

Not sure of your reply. If you've known Cubans; met many, and lived
in Miami, what did they say about living under Batista or Castro
regimes? Surely it wasn't pleasant.

Mariel Cuban prisoners took hostages and burned two federal prisons
after hearing on the radio that they were about to be returned to
Cuba. State Dept. failed to inform the Federal Bureau of Prisons to
prepare for contingencies.

During the "Mariel boat lift", teachers, doctors, etc., were not
allowed the board boats in the flotilla. Instead, Castro emptied his
lunatic asylums and prisons and forced those people on to boats at gun
point. Threatening the boat Captains.

Don't know about you but if it were me, I'd be plotting an escape. I'm
sorry the kid was sent back and believe his father was being selfish
for not allowing him to stay in Miami. Yes. I cared.
