Quote:Fidel forced them? Didn't they just want to go to Florida to sell drugs? Also a bit strange that they didn't go to any of the other non'communist free states in the region, that are obviously doing so much better than Cuba.
You haven't heard of the Mariel boatlift?

"However, during the Mariel Boatlift, the situation changed because of the reality and the magnified perception that the refugees included undesirables such as criminals and mental patients. The reality is that Castro encouraged and arranged for the departure of some undesirables as part of the Mariel Boatlift. This helped to ensure that the Mariel Boatlift would be politically feasible on the Cuban side. The magnified (and inaccurate) perception, which was fed by United States media accounts such as a May 11, 1980 New York Times article, was that the refugees consisted largely of undesirables."

What other nation in the world has its arms as open as the US does toward the Cuban people? Have you heard about the Cuban Refugee Adjustment Act? And, because of it, Cuba has to guard its boarders to prevent people from leaving.
