Sheez.. Apparently the post-Castro Cubans who try to come here will be apprehended and end up at a "new facillity" being prepared as we type... in Guantánamo..

Boy how things have changed...NOT !!

4. Nowhere in the article does it say why these Cubans would want
to leave when Castro dies and not in all the years before the event?

If it's true that a half million want to leave - what social level are they in? What age levels? What do they gain by going to Miami or NJ (or some place) when Castro dies and not in the four decades previously? What politics do they have? Do they anticipate something awful from Raul Castro - a change of policy that is negative to them? Who are they?

Castro is in his eighties. What if he lives to be 100 - who will habitate the prison - more Padillas? or progressive journalists? Or captured Iranians?

The wet foot, dry foot has been law (drafted by CANF and other associations) for many years. Everyone on the island of Cuba knows about it. If it's true, and the law is revoked after knowledge that there is a mass movement, isn't that unjust?

There is more to this than meets the eye. After settling in at the new facilities they hear??? Attention, all able bodied bmen and women proceed to Area A for to start training for your new career as prison guards at Guantanamo, Diego Garcia, Romania, Poland, Uzbekistan, etc. At the conclusion of your five years of service, you will be given U.S. citizenship provided your record is clean and you are not diseased.
