Apart from Gonzalez, the only survivors were an unrelated couple.

Not mentioned in the article is that the two other survivors returned to Cuba after a few years, finding Miami/USA an unpleasant experience.

1. Interesting how Republicans see a difference in a Cuban and a Mexican. The Cuban was a

poor helpless child and Bill Clinton was a tyrant. Mexicans are illegal aliens that should all be deported.

2. "Fleeing" socialism/communism reaps rewards.

US's Wet Foot/Dry Foot policy - for Cubans only.

4. Yes, it surely does reap rewards. They bribe Cubans to come here, attempting to make life far easier

for Cubans than it could ever be for any of the other "illegal" immigrants who have to live keeping a close watch over their shoulders, and the constant threat of deportment, and, of course, no financial aid for education, no food stamps, either.

Thanks for the reminder.

3. It is odd! They support Cubans 100 percent,

But nobody else. And yes they were livid with President Clinton over this.
