I think my comments and question to Gina also apply to you. I'd be interested in your answer: Cane fields, factories, no choice in work, no freedom, low standard of living--all standard fare for children in Peru, Paraguay, Guatemala, Colombia, Thailand, rural India, Madagascar, Bangaladesh, Nigeria, Morocco..... There are hundreds of millions of children living in those countries. Are you prepared to advocate that they all be brought to the United States? Why not? Regardless of what happens to Elian, since you care so much about children, what part of your spare time and wealth will you devote henceforth to saving the children in these other countries????

Don't be such a pimple. Elian and his family would be welcome at my house too if they lived nearby. I'd do a down home barbeque for them. Give them a taste of hospitality outside the normal routine. Let them kick back and be regular people, guests in our country, a guest in my home. You have no idea what went on at the visit or what the motives may have been. You and your cohorts that like to ride the "-ism" train paint from a very limited and colorless palette. You completely lose sight of the human element. You continuously forget that there are people involved in these stories that just may not be motivated by the acute shallowness that you may find it convenient to paint them with.
