it sounds like many of you anticubans are Latinamericans
living off your life under the baton of uncle sam! That's
ok...but stop criticizing the Cubans...If there is a country
and its people at the present time who are accepted and
admired by the whole world, this is Cuba and the
cubans...The rest of the hispanic world is having a hard
time emigrating in Europe or USA, where they do not seem to
be quite welcome,as I should say...the cubans...Maybe those
hispanics should do something a bit better to get much
acceptance...After all, most things and people we criticize
and judge is because we want to be like them...And this is
ok too! Ciao and Viva Cuba, the greatest Latin american
country in the world!

so do you agree that socialism has created "mooches" out of
the cuban people? or they are just manipulative? Or are
most decent people?
Just wondering since this seems to be the latest hot topic.
Me? Hey, i have just been a regular tourist there without
encountering any problems whatsoever.
Hey Jan - what's a "mooch"?
Don't know if this is an American/Canadian word, but we're
not familiar with it on this side of The Pond.
Mooch is slang for leech
Nice mail. I agree with the sentiments.
Remember that Fidel has a good word for all those traitors
in Miami; 'gusanos' - worms. A good description I think.
Boy, do those guys wriggle when Fidel is mentioned.
Cubans in the USA represent the most prosperous migration in
many many years....Of all Latinamericans in USA, the cuban
americans have the:
1. highest percent of income per capita
2. highest percent of educated people after HS
3. highest percent of millionaires
4. highest percent of CEO
5. highest percent of professionals...
Do you think CubanAmericans give a hoot about what Castro
thinks? You might have been talking about those old people
that left Cuba in the 50's and 60's...most of them too old
to even talk...The new CubanAmerican generation, Sir Che
Jr...it's a different story! Beside, your name is
rather comical...for Castro sent Che to Bolivia in a
suicidal mission when he did not need him anymore...That is
the great charisma possessed by the First Commander and
president of the Island!
Thanks for your insight Cuban Boy and I share it.
CHE.JR
If your Cubans performs so well in USA,tell me then why many
and most fails in Canada,besides our weather?
Why many go back to Cuba?
Can you answer that question?
Can you please ask the question in English so we can answer
it? Thank you
Cuban boy, where are you? Certainly not in Cuba.
I can tell you why many foreigners fail in Quebec and move
to U.S. including Cubans. Because they want to work! unlike
the big majority of "quebequois."
Only lazy people stay in Canada, because of its social
system: which pays for a faily of four twice the minimum
wage, and pays you in cash not food stamps. They can have a
good appartment (quatre et demi) on the Montreal island, and
have better life that working in any third world country. So
why work, they are happy?
For people with ambitions who did not want to leave their
country but had to because of an idiotic dictator like
Saddam Hussain, Castro o Milocevic, it is a different
story. You arrive in Quebec, the Inmigration puts you in
YMCA for free, while you looking for appartment, feeds you
and gives you pocket money, then they pay your lawers and
tell that you hav to wait for trial, and until you go
through Inmigration trial you can not work. They put you on
social help and expect you to be happy, because there are so
many on that kind of wellfare help. If you get a work
permit, many employers do not want to hire you because the
social security starts with a special number, which
identifies you as a refugee who is not a land inmigrant yet.
Etc... etc...
Plus, in order to get anywhere you have to speak both
French, Fnglish, and "Quebequois language," which in
comparison to French is what Ebonics are to English. So I
said to my Inmigration Officer: I am going to U.S. I applied
for asyllim on the Champlain border, received reply a month
after, got on the border a work permit in two hours (I was
three month in Montreal and still could not get one), and
was told with a friendly smile: "go work so you can pay
taxes." And you know what I love it here! It is not easy,
but there is one thing Americans have it is to recognize
talent and let you use it. If they know you can make money
for them, they will give you a chance, a fat chance! If you
can not make it in U.S. you will not make it anywere! LONG
LIVE USA!!!!
..do not mind if your English is not perfect, which is my
case, for exemple!
Che Jr:
Just a point, notice Fidel is gladly receiving $$ from Miami
everyday. He has so much conviction that he's cursing the
'gusanos' while courting a handout.
Who you think you're kidding?
