Not really, but he was here illegally.
The boy belonged with his father. Regardless of politics, judges, capitalism or communism or anything else. I'd want my son, but thats just me.
And Reno was a criminal long before that.
"The boy belonged with his father."
That's all I need to hear from you. Ellian was here legally. He stepped foot in America. That's all a Cuban refugee need do. Reno sent him to his death in Cuba. You know as well as I do, it isn't the father (whom his mother fled from) who will raise the boy - it's Castro.
"Not really, but he was here illegally."
Wasn't Elian considered to be here legally as soon as he set foot on dry land?
