I don’t consider him an illegal immigrant. He’s defecting from a communist country and came here legally.
I guess I should have put in a /s tag. Though it is kind of a gray area, since he was granted entry as a visiting Cuban citizen, not as an immigrant.
In any case, I wish him the best. I have nothing against Cuban refugees in general; my sister’s first husband fled the Castro regime as a teenager in the ‘60s and eventually became a naturalized citizen and a professor at a major university.
A coup for US.
