In fact. it could backfire on us. prompting Castro to become more repressive. and worsening social and political tensions there which could in turn lead to violence. and another major outflow of refugees to the United States. It was not long ago we had thousands of Cubans coming across the Florida Straits in leaky boats. who were stopped and then held at Guantanamo Naval Base for many months. at a cost of millions of dollars. Is that what Americans want to see again?
