...Cubans have left. The Magarolas don't mention the fact that the U. S. Government gives unlimited entry to all Cuban exiles, provides free room and board for six months, and finds them housing and employment. How many Greeks or Guatemalans would come here if we opened up our pearly gates to them? Oddly enough, all these doctors and businessmen weren't angry enough to flee during Batista, when 20,000 people were killed by an even larger secret police, and torture was normal practice.

...much applauded distribution of wealth, even if true, could not ever justify the repression imposed on the Cuban people. Thousands of executions and jail sentences have been handed down to those human beings whose only crime was opposing not the genuine revolution but Castro's mockery of socialism. Let it be understood that the majority of Cubans favored a revolution, but one where every faction is included and everybody is permitted to participate in the government. Such a description hardly fits Cuba today. The Cuban dissenters are now dead or exiles in different countries. We will eventually return to Cuba...
