Here's a pix always worth posting and dedicated to the American $cum who wear him on their t-shirts.
One one hand, I want our people to get the quickest medical care possible. On the other hand, I question how reliable and competent some of these doctors may be.
One thing for sure, Castro is not making this offer out of the goodness of his heart.
Do we accept the offer? Yes or no? Opinions...anyone?
I say let him send the doctors and watch half of the defect.
I say take them and then see how many of the Cuban MDs voluntarily go back. That will shut Castro up.
'One thing for sure, Castro is not making this offer out of the goodness of his heart.'
...You can certainly bet there are some rather razor sharp strings attached to this offer of help.

Castro: 1,100 Cuban doctors ready and awaiting U.S. visas

My take: If we don't have a doctor shortage, move on.
Accept the offer. Im sure there is an ulterior motive, but it is an offer of help just the same. Plus, as other posters have pointed out, half will probably defect anyway. Well, those that dont have family back at home like another famous defector..
Yea, I can see that. Oh got a cut on your leg, amputate.
It depends upon why they were sent to prison.
Malpractice perhaps?
How will you persuede the doctors to return to Cuba, Fidel?
1. If these were well meaning professional dissidents, Castro wouldn't let them out to help.
2. Castro already has trade deals with Blanco that she was censured for

Therefore, Castro has a motive to get people into LA that benefits him.
No to letting them in!
he will have to send the doctors, each with his own personal guard to prevent his defection...or lock up the doctors family and threaten them with horrible unspeakable acts in order to keep the doctors from defecting.
.....we are not the turd world country....they are...let them keep their witch doctors.
What's he going to do when they apply for asylum? Come to think of it, we could use more doctors.
I say let them in. It would be an eyeopening experience for both them and us.
Yes. We need more trained defectors.
Another 500 clinicians and specialists could be dispatched to Houston “or any other airport of your choosing,” by Sunday, Castro said during a TV Roundtable discussion broadcast in Havana with another 500 to follow.
Not to be outdone, Vincente Fox of Mexico declared he has 11,000,000+ 'specialists' already prepositioned and another 3,000,000 are en route ;-)
Response;... No Fidel use those doctors to tend too your own political prisoners.. or the ones in Venezulela that Hugo and your thuggs havent murdered yet.. thanks anyways..

No, we should not accept anything from a communist dictator. I would rather our entire country die of dehydration and starvation than to ever accept anything from that murderous SOB, Castro.
Just what the US needs, another group of Cuban agents. It's not as if we don't have plenty of communists here already, destroying us from within.
From what I had read in the past (and I admit I can't provide a source for this so I may be mistaken) is that Cuba actually has a very good and advanced medical system with some very good doctors. I'm going to have to look this up to see if I can confirm it or if I'm just imagining things.
