Cuba Angry at US Efforts to Make Migration Easier

@earl-of-trumps said
Jim, most - if not all of your charges I agree with.

My concern lies with the Cuban slaves trying to escape the Cuban Slave Farm, Owned by the Uber Rich Castro family, who have a Monopoly on everything in Cuba.

Make ya happy now?

.............Is Mexico a slave farm? Haiti? How 'bout Guatemala?
Don't seem as if those people are having an easy time
getting into the land that advertises,
''.......Give me your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses yearning to breath free..''

Well give them visas then and save them from endangering their children’s lives on the open sea.

It's your boy that switched the policy back, *you* tell him

Them? Of course they are not captive slaves, Jim, they can leave their country any time they wish.

But did you know if a citizen somehow gets to leave Cuba or N.Korea, the media call it an "escape"?
What does that tell you about these citizens, Jim, that they are the owners chattel- or ownage?

sad.

I don’t have a boy there, if I did it would be Bernie Sanders but your the one blaming Cuba for what is US policy

......Why no animosity against CHINA?
Here's a country that gunned down hundreds, perhaps
thousands. of their own people in Tienanmen Square not so long ago.
Yet you support them, you say you don't? Well you, like me, have purchased dozens of products made in that slave state....Why does CUBA get your
temper so riled?...Earl, were you dumped by a CUBAN girl?

The post that was quoted here has been removed

...Well, you know, we put them in power too.............
More of our 'SPREADING DEMOCRACY'....I have only palavered
w/ EARL about CUBA....Not CHINA.
People tend to confuse totalitarian governments with SOCIALIST
REPUBLICS, ...There isn't a STALIN behind every social minded country.
Look what's going on in MYANMAR with FASCISTS..
The corporate powers and the CHURCH have brainwashed AMERICANS
into thinking that SOCIALISM is wrong.....Why does no one rant about ECUADOR,
LAOS, BOLIVIA, URUGUAY, GREECE, EL SALVADOR, PORTUGAL, BARBADOS
NEPAL, VIETNAM, the list goes on, all SOCIALIST COUNTRIES
Some countries think it is more important to have HEALTH CARE for their citizens
than to be the country that sells more armaments, to other countries, than
all of the nations of the world COMBINED.

@jimm619 - ...Earl, were you dumped by a CUBAN girl?

LOL, I wish.

Just in general, Jim, I hate slavery. The people in Cuba and North Korea truly are being held prisoners.
And that p!sses me off.

Jim, no country is above criticism, I suppose.

Yes, I rail on Cuba and NKorea a lot, and I admit it. You know what they do to you
in North Korea when they see you trying to swim to freedom (escape)?

BANG. they shoot you.

.........Well, no one denies that N. KOREA is a rogue state
as is the current government in MYANMAR......
You and I disagree about CUBA and, having lived there, I
am qualified to say that it IS NOT A SLAVE STATE. As you just
mentioned, every country has it's problems....Are there
political prisoners in CUBA?......You bet, does THE USA have any?
Sure we do...As I've said to you before, why don't you go
to CUBA and observe this 'slave state' for yourself?
Don't drink the kool-ade...Open your mind before you pass judgement.
Do you find it odd that the main deterrent of a
visit to CUBA, by an AMERICAN, isn't CUBA but THE GOOD OL' USA?

@jimm619

You have enticing arguments, and I would love to go to Cuba, and again - the freedom thing, I don't believe the US should restrict my movements like that. Of course it is easily gotten around, but I do not like their attitude.

But in the end, Jim, not allowing their citizens emigrate or even vacate, shows me the sinister aspect of Cuban government. Even Fidel's daughter found a way to get the hell out of there back in the 90's when her daddy was ruling.

Sorry, Jim, can't shake me on this stuff.
