20% is a substantial portion, first of all. Substantial does not imply a majority. Second, the 80% number I used was an OPINION, I did not say this was a fact. But since you can't present any facts on exactly what percentage of Exiles send $ to Cuba, I'll stick with my assertion that "Most Cuban Exiles do not send money to Cuba". I personally don't know of any who send money back.

Look, you just got busted making statements that you know nothing about, and now you're trying to parse words to slink away fromn the embarrasment of getting egg on your face. It's OK, no one knows everything...except me of course. The fact remains that you had no clue as to the $800 million dollars sent to Cuba by exiles every year, and that's OK too, it isn't something to brag about, but the money goes to help their families there, and most of us look the other way.

You also made mention that sending money to Cuba is considered to be treason by exiles (treason means treason, right?), I can tell you that what really constitutes treason in the mind of the vast majority of Cuban exiles, is supporting the lifting of the embargo.

Something that you seem to support.

Unlike you, I am not a child of exiles.

I am an exile.
