@elbanditoroso Those Cubans are getting older and older. :) Although, there are some younger ones who hold similar views, but the percentages are fewer.
I think it is outrageous people can not travel to see their family. Just awful. One thing to not allow the sale of goods, but to forbid Americans from going to visit is disgusting to me. I understand why America does not allow Cubans to easily come here to visit though, but I find it very sad.
I also believe that if many years ago things had been much looser, the whole thing might have fallen apart a lo time ago. Who knows, maybe Castro would be gone by now. An older Cuban coworker once said to me, “Cubans are Repulicans, because they believe Kennedy made a dirty deal.”
The first Cubans who came over tended to be educated, upper class, a different social class than the boat lift and most of the people who float over now hoping to make it to sure before dying. But, of course it is an unfair comparison now that Cuba has been under communist rule for so long.
