Throughout the article. not one word. not one single word. is mentioned about the destruction caused on Cuba by the Castro tyranny and the misery that has resulted from it. However. she makes sure to provide tips on how to circumvent the United States embargo in order to travel to Cuba. I wonder. Mr. Speaker. what led these refugees I have described earlier tonight to leave the paradise that this author so aptly describes? Is it the lack of human rights under Castro. the lack of civil rights under the last totalitarian dictatorship of the hemisphere? The complete mismanagement of the Cuban economy by the Communist elite. the complete control of the population by Castros police state?
