That's a big IF, quite hypothetical, but yes i imagine that if she had picked a brighter boyfriend to follow she might have made shore with the boy without being apprehended. In that case they both would have been granted residency automatically, as i understand it [if they had been apprehended on the sea they would have been automatically sent back, right?].

So IF they had made shore and then she died, Juan Miguel would likely have lost his son forever. But, they didn't. So he won't.

If Eli n was Haitian and therefore without propaganda value to the ex-cubanos he would have long since been sent back. Or nicaragense or canadian or mexicano.

Only for ex-cubanos, that law. 'Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, but only if they hate that sumbeech what kicked out our puppet Batista'.
