People do not flee a free nation. They are free to leave if they desire.

That's true. It is not just massive flight to Florida, but other nations too. There is a large community of Cubans living in the area around Shannon Airport in Ireland. Aeroflot, the once-Soviet and now Russian airline, has always stopped at Shannon to refuel for their trans-Atlantic flights. Cubans on flights to Moscow repeatedly hopped off the plane at Shannon to claim asylum so they could escape living in the 'socialist paradises.'
