Cuban President Fidel Castro's granddaughter, who fled to America in 1993, has become an U.S. citizen.
Alina Salgado, 26, is the daughter of Alina Fernandez, Castro's daughter living in exile in the United States.
Salgado was sworn in at the Miami Beach Convention Center on Wednesday, among 6,000 people who became Americans during two naturalization ceremonies. She refused to comment.
"I want to keep my life private and personal," Salgado said in a telephone interview.
Fernandez also refused to comment.
In 1993 Fernandez left Cuba wearing a wig and carrying a counterfeit Spanish passport.
She left her then 16-year-old daughter in Cuba and after arriving in the U.S. appealed to Castro to allow the girl to come to America. Salgado joined her mother a few days later.
Fernandez had said it was her daughter who advised her to leave Cuba.
Right, Janet Sterno?
WHAT'S A GRANDFATHER TO DO? These informed and rebellious libertarian kids these days..../sarcasm off
I think we won one for the Gipper here!
Freedom BUMP!
The Yippies were ideological idiots but tactically brilliant. One of their best tricks was to put up fake "Wanted" posters of anyone they learned was an informer. Some of these things stayed up in post offices for years.
The connection between these two paragraphs isn't hard to reach.

Lon Horichuri, the FBI sniper who shot Randy Weaver's UNARMED wife and child was NEVER punished under Janet from another Planet's regime.
Criminal.
This reminds me of Stalin's granddaughter, Svetlana. A hopeful sign.

That picture is so famous, it amazes me that no one has ever publicly revealed who the INS thug was that invaded Elian's closet.
Where are our investigative reporters when we really need them?
Chasing Judith Regan around.
An early Christmas present.
Absolutely
BY the way
Fidel Castro parades Elian around as his little victory child. Thankyou Bill Clinton.
I recently read an article in People giving an update, Castro attends all Elian's birthday parties, and gave his father a comfortable job.
So little Elian is a celebrity and Cuba has not forgotten
I hope this gets publicity over in Cuba
You can bet it won't
Castro controls everything remember
Maybe maybe not. The hottest thing right now is to go to medical school in Cuba. One of my mother's friends got accepted to Yale and couldn't afford it. News carries.
As long as I live I will never forget that picture, or how it made me feel that day.
Not the Christmas lights at GITMO
I think Krushchev's grandson became an American citizen too. Funny how history works - remember when Krushchev said, "We will bury you! Your grandchildren will live under Communism!"?
Sergei Khrushchev, son of Nikita, is also a US citizen now. ;o)
One of my mother's friends got accepted to Yale
AND WENT TO CUBA!? Or is from Cuba?
Since it's communism do they have grades? Or does that only encourage competition?
