I agree with you to a point, but I do seem to recall a little story about some guys living under an oppressive government 230-or-so years ago who were similarly threatened with imprisonment and execution for being "subversive" and "revolutionary", but they were very brave and worked for change anyway, and eventually prevailed against the tyrants.
Touching story. I wonder if the Cubans might try being similarly inclined to fix their own problems. I guess it's easier to just run away and dump themselves on another country's doorstep illegally than actually take some risk, be heroes and patriots and work for a society in THEIR country they could be proud of. Nope. Easier to just steal/hijack someone else's country.
