...when it comes to Cuba some here can only repeat "boat people" like a zen mantra....well, the biggest group inmigrating to the US comes from capitalist Mexico,El Salvador and central america, Haiti (boat people too!) and Dominican Republic..not from Cuba......sorry to pop the party balloon....and these countries like Mexico do not have a permanent US cia radio station like radio-marti http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5329394.stm broadcasting 24/7 from key west telling them how to build a boat with wood , old michellin tires and dry palm leaves "boat for dummies", how to navigate " do it yourself navigation" and telling every woman that they will be the next gloria estefan and every man the next Canseco....give me a break!..and i'm not saying Cuba is paradise but sure is hell better than most countries in central america including mexico...
