This is the reason for the restricted travel. And remember travellers, everything that glitters is not gold. The Tourist based Cuba may look quite nice, but it is a far cry different from the real Cuba that people die to leave when political heat turns up. Of coarse we American's are going to see only the best of everything, Castro needs our money and must put on a good impression.

If a young cuban girl can go to jail because I compassionately hand her a buck, Just image what could happen to me had I not any bucks to give Castro and was a native. Could I still stay (and for that matter afford) the big hotels that line the Havanna Beach Front? Would I still be able to sail away with a millionaire yauht owner FREELY without being chased down by the communists and returned to the mainland possibly to go to prison, or face a fine.

I think our policy makesperfect sense, even the Cuban Adjustment act for that matter as more cuban citizens are wanting to leave cuba (and not just because of finances) and we have no choice but to provide them a home on the other end.

We are nt encouraging this travel but actually discourage it! But with a fleeling people facing political persecution what can you do but take them in. They will leave on their own accord reguardless of what we do.

They are not criminals for leaving, we are not criminals for going. The true criminals are the one's who rule the Island: namely Castro's Ilk, they have created the exile problem and the policy we have, and feel free to talk to a cuban expatriot if you doubt me!
