What about these guys? cnn.com Are they fleeing a prison hell, or just a hell? What's the difference, really? Note that CNN describes the 300 Haitians as "migrants" and the one Cuban as a "refugee". Child labor is common everywhere in the developing world, and I could tell you stories of cruelty and inhumanity from supposedly "free" developing countries that would equal anything you hear out of Cuba. It is quite impossible to know if any given Cuban is fleeing from communism or simply from third-world living conditions. in another week, month or year, another young mother will be left with making the tortured decision of risking her life, and the life of her children by getting in a raft and paddling 90 miles to FREEDOM Everyone who supports the way this has been handled is culpable for their deaths, as well as the hundreds of deaths Castro is sure to cause shooting people as they try and escape tyranny. Seems to me that one of the best arguments for not accepting Cubans who arrive by sea is that leniency only encourages others to risk their lives and the lives of their children.
