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.
Hey, isn't that somewhat similar to what those guys did 230 years ago?

Best,
