How did they travel to avoid prosecution? Some simply went to Mexico. a country any American is permitted to visit without obtaining a passport. In Mexico City. they visited the Cuban consulate and obtained a "slip visa" for entry into Cuba. Then. after paying their own fareor with it paid by the Cuban Governmentthey boarded a Cuban plane for their illegal destination. They returned to the United States. of course. in reverse fashion. The difficulty in obtaining an indictment. let alone a conviction. of these people lies in the near impossibility. in most cases. of proving that they violated section 1185 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. which I quoted a few minutes ago. Did they leave or enter the United States without a "valid passport." which this law says they cannot do? Technically no. because you do not need a passport to go to Mexico.
