Pretty much every statement you make in response 91 are assumptions for which you have no factual evidence. Just a few:
I could say the same thing for your position. You seem to know only 2 facts, a father,? a Boy? and assume by natural rite they must be together. What you refuse to look at is the POSSIBLE turn of events which all add up logically to the situation at hand.
The Boy resents father for leaving his mother.
You say this is not true? Prove it. I have indication it is more true than false. Again, they boy has not cried once to be with his Papa. Now it is up to you to indicate it is MORE the reverse.
The discriminated against Latin American Wife cannot provide for her and her son in the same way the father can.
This is nothing BUT Fact. My exposure to Latin American (LA) society is extensive. In my opinion, LA is about 30 years behind in enforcing equal rights or opportunities between the sexes. Yes, OK, the wife could make the same money or more for her child if you assume she turns to prostitution.
The Wife, by hook or by crook, gets money for rickety passage to America."
Where ever you get the idea that this is not fact is beyond me. The wife drowned and the Boy just barely survived for petes sake!!! Reporters said these ?excursions? of exile cost a mountain of money to the Cuban people!!!
It is pretty obvious that you weren't really discussing facts in your post, just rhetoric. Now, I don't mind if you want Elian to stay, and I am sure you have your reasons, but don't think that setting up a straw argument like you did makes it compelling.
You have allot to learn about LA life and society. I believe your motivation for sending the kid back is you or someone close to you has had their child restricted to you or them. You therefore want the Boy to be sent to his father barring all external conditions so you can feel some sort of vindication for your own situation. Let me guess? You have offspring around 17 years old. You are bitter because US law is keeping you at bay and are frustrated by seemly contradictory loopholes with other people?s situations that surface now and then.
What you need to accept is that every situation is different and no law can treat all of them justly. Step off that law stuff and start thinking about the logical turn of events that have taken place. Then apply morality to the fitting of the events. Don?t just jump from point A to B and say nothing else in between matters!!! Joder. . .
Do you believe we should follow the law? Just because you may hate Castro or the Cuban political system doesn't mean a father shouldn't have custody of his son, or that an illegal immigrant should be returned to his country. He is a Cuban citizen after all.
The Boy belongs to the human race before he belongs to anyone?s country!!! (Please let that one sink in)
Again, would you object if this was an American child in Cuba?
No I would not object. IF the boy had access to superior schooling, and a guaranteed proper raising. its obvious life was miserable enough for the Wife and Boy to cause them to risk their lives for America. Now where is the father during all of this??? Making and giving the lions share of his menial earnings to some other Mujer and his new family.
Keep the kid in the US and away from his tom-catting father. (A tom-catting father? A FACT) |
