If so, then let's just annex it the way fidel says we want to. — Henry Gómez, July 31, 2007<BR/><BR/>Manuel, I can't read Henry's mind but I think in his question above he meant to lead his readers to say, "No, we don't want every Cuban to live here, we all want to live in a free Cuba". I think he used sarcasm when saying we might as well annex Cuba the way fidel says we want to.Jose Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205834601607620612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-31250200343267384732007-08-01T10:51:00.000-04:002007-08-01T10:51:00.000-04:00Joe:Before the Revolution more Americans lived in ...Joe:<BR/><BR/>Before the Revolution more Americans lived in Cuba than Cubans in the United States. <BR/><BR/>More than a million immigrants came to Cuba from 1905-1958, more immigrants proportionally, in fact, than were received by the United States in the same period. They came to Cuba because, at that time, the island enjoyed a higher standard of living than most of Europe and greater freedom and class mobility as well.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps this pattern will again be repeated when Cuba is again free and independent. However, without "democracy on the menu" or if Cuba were a "capitalist-in-everything-but-name-system," I should not think that many foreigners would wish to immigrate to Cuba nor would Cubans desire to live on the island anymore than they do now.Manuel A.Tellecheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637085685599554349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-81395407843868808162007-08-01T10:42:00.000-04:002007-08-01T10:42:00.000-04:00José:I do not put words into their mouths.

I don't have to: their own words are bad enough.<BR/><BR/>But since you obviously cannot or will not understand the meaning of Henry's own quoted words, I will parse them for you:<BR/><BR/>Henry said that if Cubans are allowed free access to the U.S. as originally envisioned in the Cuban Adjustment Act, they would immigrate here en masse, in which case it would be better if the United States just annexed Cuba, as Fidel Castro has always said it wanted to do.<BR/><BR/>There it is, in better English. Do you understand Henry now?<BR/><BR/>If you are going to have a <I>secret</I> agenda, José, you are not going to expose it every day. Occasionally, though, it does come through. This appears to be the season for candid confessions; for they have also revealed their disdain for Cubans on the island in their latest posts.<BR/><BR/>I am sorry that you can't see it; but I see it clearly enough.Manuel A.Tellecheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637085685599554349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-13184968474245960172007-08-01T09:51:00.000-04:002007-08-01T09:51:00.000-04:00Manuel,You and I both know that there is no Annexa...Manuel,<BR/><BR/>You and I both know that there is no Annexation agenda at Babalu. I have been reading Babalu for a long time and they have always advocated for Cuba and Cubans to gain their total freedom, period. By taking Henry's comment out of context I think you are being intellectually dishonest. You are an excellent writer, a very intelligent and knowledgable man and I think you could be extremely successful if you would stop being so negative.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely, JoseJose Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205834601607620612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-22507569711482970362007-08-01T09:45:00.000-04:002007-08-01T09:45:00.000-04:00Rarely discussed:That there would actually be a ne...Rarely discussed:<BR/><BR/>That there would actually be a net migration into Cuba if a modern capitalist, democratic state was to take hold there. And even if democracy wasn't on the menu, if Cubans had the ability to freely leave Cuba to travel abroad, and then return, were a capitalist-in-everything-but-name system that provided a significant level of prosperity and material comfort for its citizens to be established there, a mass exodus of Cubans would never take place. (terrible grammar, sorry)<BR/><BR/>Why would a Cuban living well in Cuba want to flee to Miami? For the sun? Cuba is the most physically beautiful country in the world - blessed with a location ideal for selling to one of the world's largest markets and for its general participation in international trade and shipping. There is great biodiversity, natural resources, endless beaches, mountains, semi-desert, lush forests, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. <BR/><BR/>The USA is a great country, I'm glad I was born here, etc., etc., but Cuba's potential is not so shabby...if it was, we wouldn't have all these old-school exiles waxing nostalgic about the good old days, pre-Castro.JMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03571324427687040426noreply@blogger.com
