3. It's time the hard-right "exiles," the original wave Batista supporters and their offspring lose control of US policy

regarding not only over Cuba, but the rest of Latin America they managed to acquire under Ronald Reagan. They have held the reigns too long, demanding total support from the US Congress, while taking enormous financial funding annually, receiving privileges not extended to any other immigrants, claiming to have fled from a brutal dictator while managing, over the years, to still take trips back to Cuba, all these long years. Weren't they terrified the terrible dictator would catch them and throw them in prison?

They also have managed to keep ordinary US citizens to be barred from going to Cuba for decades, while they blithely come and go, often carrying tons of packages with them.

They have continued their rancid, vicious politics here which brought on the revolution in Cuba, where they had absolute power, unfortunately.

Shameful.

Every 4 years we all can see politicians running for national offices showing up in Miami to take photo-ops with exile leaders, and "impromptu" photos taken of them drinking Cuban coffee at the local popular restaurant, The Versailles. Disgusting, and so wrong.

Patriotic Cubans were able to overthrow them in 1969. We should, too!

This is another obnoxious moment in Miami history, Marcus IM! Just like time they tried to keep Elián González from returning home to his father, step-mother, brother's, 4 grandparents, aunts, uncles, and many cousins, schoolmates, and neighbors!
