I said this about the Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez way back in 1999

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1999 Send Cuban Boy Back To Cuba ! Providence Journal columnist Froma Harrop is right to believe that Elian Gonzlez- the 6 year old Cuban boy, an involuntary exile rescued off the Florida coast- belongs with his father in Cuba. And you don't need the wisdom of Solomon here! Spurious indeed is the argument about the GOOD LIFE here for Elian. Since when is the GOOD LIFE compulsory in our society ? Speak that crap to the millions of working poor - many of whom are from Latin America . The " dark , Satanic mills " of the Industrial Revolution are still there for the new immigrants - most of them . I am opposed to a recklessly " liberal " immigration policy. But I am also passionately opposed to the abuse and exploitation of these latino immigrants. And most certainly a 6 year old political innocent should not be used as a pawn in international politics. I happen to agree with Fidel about the main type of Cuban exile in Miami - a despicable GUSANO , an implacable enemy of the Cuban Revolution They will never forgive Fidel for " stealing " their vast wealth - the fruit of their own corruption and the misery of the Cuban people. Viva Fidel ! ( But retire soon please and hold elections .) at 2:30 AM No comments: [Now 29 years old, González is set to become a legislator in the Latin American country following Sunday's election. "And one of the first things he wants to do is bring the U.S. and Cuba to the table for a better relationship," USA Today reports. More than 20 years after González was discovered after a violent storm killed his mother and most of the group fleeing the island, he is a married industrial engineer with a 2-year-old daughter. ]
