IF WORDS ARE TO MEAN SOMETHING

CUBANS LIE TO GET RESIDENT STATUS
IN THE UNITED STATES

ACTUALIZING IMMIGRATION LAWS FOR CUBANS IN UNITED STATES IS THE GREAT, NEXT, BIG OBSTACLE FOR THE CUBAN HISTORIC PROCESS, AND CUBA'S FREEDOM. THE SOONER THE PRIVILEGE OF ARRIVING AND STAYING IN UNITED STATES, UNDER THE GUISE OF FLEEING THE CUBAN DICTATORSHIP FOR IDEOLOGICAL REASONS, IS TAKEN AWAY FROM CUBANS, THAT MUCH SOONER WILL THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT STRETCH OF THE CUBAN REVOLUTION START.

THE VAST MAJORITY OF CUBANS ARRIVING IN UNITED STATES COME FOR ECONOMIC REASONS. VERY FEW CAN EVIDENCE HAVING OPPOSED THE TYRANNY OF THE 26 OF JULY GENERALS FOR IDEOLOGICAL REASONS. THEY ARE LIKE THE HAITIANS WHO COME HERE SEEKING THE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES THEY ARE DENIED IN HAITI; AND LIKE HAITIANS AND OTHERS FOREIGNERS SEEKING ECONOMIC ADVANCEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES, THEY SHOULD SEEK IT FROM THEIR COUNTRIES, LEGALLY. THE PRIVILEGE OF ARRIVING AND STAYING IN THE UNITED STATES SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THOSE CUBANS WHO WERE TRULY PERSECUTED FOR THEIR IDEOLOGICAL OPPOSITION TO THE DICTATORSHIP, AND WERE PUNISHED FOR IT.

THE BAD EXAMPLE GIVEN BY THE “HISTORIC CUBAN EXILE” OF HAVING ABANDONED THE FIGHT AGAINST THE CUBAN TYRANNY, TO ENJOY THE COMFORTS OF ASSURED FREEDOMS FOUND IN THE UNITED STATES, HAVING DONE NOTHING FOR THEM, CREATED THIS STATE OF AFFAIRS WHERE IT IS CORRECT TO “FOOL THE AMERICANS”, AND CONTINUE COMING AND STAYING, SHELTERED IN THE LIE THAT THEY ARE FLEEING THE DICTATORSHIP’S IDEOLOGY. THE REALITY IS THAT THE “HISTORIC EXILE” ABANDONED THE FIGHT AGAINST THE DICTATOR MANY YEARS AGO, AND THROUGHOUT THESE MANY YEARS, ARRIVING CUBANS ARE ALLOWED TO STAY, ALTHOUGH THEY DECLARED THEMSELVES APOLITICAL, SEEKING ECONOMIC ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES.

IF THE PRESIDENCY OF BARRACK OBAMA REALLY WANTS “WORDS TO MEAN SOMETHING” THEN, CUBAN’S PRIVILEGES OF ARRIVING AND STAYING SHOULD BE WITHDRAWN TO ALL CUBANS THAT CANNOT PROVE THEY WERE PERSECUTED BY THE CUBAN DICTATORSHIP FOR IDEOLOGIAL REASONS.
