Washington Implements Cuban Reunification Program

In an effort to reduce the number of Cubans risking their lives to flee the castro regime in makeshift boats or being smuggled into the U.S., forty thousand visas will be granted in addition to the twenty thousand that are allotted each year to Cubans to come to the U.S. Cuban here with parents, siblings and grandparents are eligible and the wait time is supposed to decreased from seven years to ten months. Of particular mention is that regime sympathizers are not eligible.

My question is, after Cubans apply and file documents, will they be punished for wanting to leave? Will they lose their homes or jobs or be ostracized? If that stops, then maybe illegally leaving the island won't be as prevalent.

Veremos.

Why I Blog for a Free Cuba

  • Why I Do This
    The purpose of my blog is to promote awareness of the current situation in Cuba and to bring its history to the attention of those who do not know anything, or little, about it. With that in mind, I am dedicated to disseminating this information without interference from those who want to promote castro's regime, che guevara, communism, socialism, or attack the Bush administration or the freedom-loving posters who may comment here or myself. That means I reserve the right to delete comments I feel are inappropriate or that are counter-productive to my purpose. Besides, if you are a communist, you'll understand all about censorship.
