I won't comment on your obvious misunderstanding of escaping a communist hellhole and turd third Mexico
I will comment on Elian father....
You do understand he was forced by Castro under extreme duress...
Yes, Popman. I remember this whole episode well.
Elian's "father" wanted nothing to do with his child until it became obvious that Castro could use him as a political pawn. He was not involved in his child's life in any meaningful way UNTIL this incident occurred.
I remember well the fancy suit and polished, expensive shoes that "concerned dad" wore when picking up his "precious boy".
Clothing that NO average Cuban could even dream of owning.
It was all about the politics, nothing more.
If Castro could manipulate Clinton and move him around like a marionette, he was going to do it.
Clinton obliged.
I'd wager that Elian simply went into some orphanage after the photo-ops were over, and "concerned dad" went back to his menial job.
In Cuban paradise.
