5. Most of those old Cuban folks you speak of were Batista supporters.

Supporters of the real Cuban blood-soaked US backed authoritarian dictator.

And they flew here on commercial airlines with visas in hand.

They received a wide range of extra perks that no other immigrant group ever got...

Instant work visa, instant access to Sec 8 housing with a $41,000 income exemption(authoritarian socialism?), instant access to Social Security and SSDI, many various low interest SBA loans for Cubans only, and lots more.

Sanctioning a nation into starvation, and them offering extra socialist programs just for them, and then blaming their gov't? Craven.

The Cuban immigrant experience is like no other immigrant experience.

How do I know? I am one.
