Oh I will not argue that, I just find it funny that people are going to go around thinking of how free they are now that they exchanged one set of documents for another.
Now, I will coincide that I have no idea how hard it was to get a set of exit permits, but in the end it boils down to needing papers to travel.

My stepfather's son recently came to the US after my stepfather shelled out thousands to pay off commie government workers to place a rubber stamp on his sons paperwork. It took him 17 years to get his son here.

Lets see how long it now takes for communist China and North Korea to grant their citizens some freedom.

You wonder who ever came up with the silly idea that you have to ask your Government for permission to physically move from A to B.

They've been leaving en masse for decades. My parents were part of a mass exodus of more than 10,000 in 1979. To this day Cubans still come ashore. It isnt propaganda its reality.

Even though its a small step, It has to say something. All these years, of sanctions, and keeping that Country closed off to the rest of the World. Remember.
Again? Apparently they built the road from Havana to Varadero.
Will we see Mob Casinos soon on Cuban soil ?
Even bigger, bigger question: Will they all be welcomed to the US or be regarded as illegal aliens?

I think there will, short run.
There are lots of folks, in the States, that want to be reunited with their families in Cuba.The bigger question is this. If there is a run, on mass exodus, will Cuba stop it?
Even bigger question: if they don't leave en masse, what does that do for our propaganda?

How come China gets a free pass...but Cuba is such a threat to the US, it must be embargoed? Hypocrisy of the highest order!
