Geez, where'd I make that wrong turn?
Why would people go to such lengths to leave the worker's paradise that is Cuba?
Make US citizenship a points system for the Cubans based on creativity. This rates some series style points so they get in. Make a raft out of old tires...no points and we send you back.

You know, I never thought the Checker cab could be replaced. Seeing this, I am hopeful!
After the floating vehicles are caught and the people removed, they are sunk by our Navy or Coast Guard because they are considered to be a "hazard to navigation". I think this is a shame. I wish we could bring these vehicles to the US as a symbol of peoples' desire for freedom.
And they even painted the hull and the car parts to match.
But a handful of Cubans float near the shore and and all out effort is made to intercept them.
Makes perfect sense.
Used taxicab -- 2500 pesos
Used boat -- 2000 pesos
50 rolls of duct tape -- 1000 pesos
90 miles to freedom with a dozen friends --- PRICELESS
Just goes to prove the axiom that "necessity (or in Cuban vernacular "enslavement") is the mother of invention!"

Why would anyone leave Castro's pluralistic democracy for the decadent capitalism and imperialistic tyranny offered by mean Republicans?
