His words could be read two ways, as is the case with most Communist pronouncements. I hope in his heart he knows that many, many people here prayed for his safety and good health. I still cannot agree with Janet Reno’s and Bill Clinton’s decision to return him to a father who never cared for him, never supported him, and never knew him.

“the U.S. people, who - although “often they are also the victims of disinformation””

Thats for sure, thats for dang sure.

I was never given the chance to have a moment to think about my mother, who as a result of that (U.S.) Cuban Adjustment Act died at sea,"

How did the Cuban Adjustment Act cause his mother's death? It seems to me that the Cuban government caused his mother's death by creating circumstances so dire that jpeople are willing to take to rickety boats to escape.

NO immigration status to the US ever for this ingrate.

And I should give a rat’s backside what he says because? Is he some intellectual thinker like Thomas Sowell? No? Or is it because his experience and age lends him wisdom? No? So who cares what some brainwashed teenaged pratt from shining example of the success of communism says or thinks? Not me.

Let Elian come back to American soil - or perhaps to a free country like Russia - and say these words again.

Right now all we are hearing from Elian is what his jailers want him to say.

[Above My Pay Grade]

I despise Communism and the Cuban government.

That said, Natural Law says that any fit parent has a God given right to raise his/her child.

Once the identity of his lone surviving parent was determined and it was confirmed that that parent wanted him returned home, he should immediately been sent back to his father. If his father wanted him to stay in the U.S., he should (and would) have been allowed to stay.

Would it be OK for Americans to go to poor countries and snatch impoverished children away from their parents, against their parents’ will, to give them “a better life”?

What if some Saudi billionaire could give American kids, with loving, middle class, parents “a better life”, should he be allowed to kidnap them for their own good?

All that keeping him here all that time was give Castro ammunition in the propaganda wars.

And our time in the US marked US for life, dudito. It created a people genuinely concerned about the welfare of others, yet proud of their heritage. Then in 2008, a president was elected who was determined to take us down a few notches, and dangerously so. His greatest desire was to teach the US a lesson. Or three. He enacted programs and laws designed to destroy what had existed prior to his empowerment, and appears to be determined to inflict even more damage in the remaining time he has in office.

You’re not in a great position, Mr. Gonzalez, but neither are we. We have a leadership cadre that is determined to take this country into a place much like where you live. We cannot know if you are a propaganda tool of the regime in your country or are honestly speaking your sentiments. We wish we had the luxury of pondering your concerns, but we are too busy trying to rescue ourselves.

He is a great propaganda tool for the Cuban Gov’t.. He has name recognition, and his future looks to be very good so long as he parrots the Party line. He’s going to be a lot better off than most of the Cubans.

[Sivad]

Not even curious why his brave mom did what she did.
Oh well, if he was living in the US he would probably
just be another low information Democrat voter.

Bill Clinton will burn in HELL for all Eternity for what he did to that boy

In the period before armed agents seized the child, the Justice Department had been leaking its intention to avoid any sort of armed intervention. It would all be done quietly, they suggested. When top Department officials were asked about it, they said nothing to change that impression. About two weeks before the raid, Tim Russert asked Holder, “You wouldn’t send a SWAT team in the dark of night to kidnap the child, in effect?” Holder answered, “No, we don’t expect anything like that to happen.” Then the Department did precisely that. The day after the seizure, Holder appeared again with Russert, who asked, “Why such a dramatic change in position?” “I’m not sure I’d call it a dramatic change,” Holder answered. “We waited ’til five in the morning, just before dawn.”

So have you spoken up about the Uniform Child Abduction Prevention Act (UCAPA)? This law makes every parent a potential child abductor subject to having their children confiscated at gunpoint.

The US has been blamed for many things, but to deny someone their “cultural context,” that’s new.

I never forget standing at the White House with the DC Chapter the next morning. Ironman was holding the sign with the picture of the kid in the closet and many asked if we photoshopped the picture.

Elian can enjoy the rest of his life living in the Marxist stinkhole that his mother risked so much to save him from.
