Why leave Cuba

[sabre]

Why to citizens of Cuba try to escape to the U.S.?

[Moskitto]

Push and Pull reasons.

Push
People who disagree with Castro
Economic hardships in Cuba

Pull
US much better off
Democracy in US

[MJM]

Don't forget capitalist propaganda.

[CommieBastard]

and also the fact that if you float photogenically across the water on a makeshift raft then once you get to the other side they reward you for being such good propoganda material by giving you a load of cash.

in the 1960's 125,000 left to the U.S coz they disagreed with castro.

[Valkyrie]

I believe currently, that the US and Cuba have an agreement that the US will accept 25,000 Cubans legally per year.

I saw something on 60 Minutes ® about how there's actually a company in Florida that flies over the Carribean looking for stranded Cubans in life-rafts trying to defect to U$A and rescue them. Now it should be noted that defecting Cubans are in fact traitors and are in fact the same greedy scum who killed Che Guevara. These Cubans are extremely stupid and want nothing more then money and to reject their heritage. So when these "rescue planes" fly unathourized into Cuban air space it should not be taken lightly. The same is obviously true when foreign planes fly unathourized into U$ air territory. So when these rescue planes fly over Havana dropping anti-Castro propaganda leaflets and Castro directly comes over their radio and tells them the next time they enter the Cuban air space they will be taken as hostiles then you would think they would stay away. So, being stupid morons, they fly back into Cuban air-space and are shot down. Now Castro did in fact warn them they would be treated as hostiles and they were rightly treated as such. So now the families of the pilots sued the Castro regime for 125 million U$ dollars. Now, is it just me or is all these people think about is MONEY$MONEY$MONEY$MONEY$MONEY!? They don't want an apology from Castro, no. They want money for these people's lives. As stupid as these people were they're not worth currency. Fucking idiots I swear.

Isnt it Ironic that the reason some cubans are in economic hardship because of the US blockade, then go to the USA, to make money for the USA, so it can maintain the blockade, talk about stabbing your friends in the back......

Dread I saw that same story on 60 mintues and I know that the cubans shot down one of the planes. The families of the victims were awarded 50 million dollars from the assets the US froze in the 60's. People leave Cuba because they can't make enough money to live in Cuba. There families in Flordia send money back to Cuba or else they would not have enough to live.

[CommieBastard]

you were told that posting in any forum other than the socialism vs capitalism one is a bannable offence, it doesnt matter whether you are stirring the pot or not, that's what you were told you would have to abide by if you wanted to post here at all.

[Dreadnaht1]

Let the bastard speak, we can always correct him/her. And this is, after all, a public forum.

[HardcoreCommie]

wow, you are all little *****es...

[CommieBastard]

i find it hard to beleive that you can actually beleive that posting that is a good use of your time... why not just do something productive instead?
