We’re done. Bye. Don’t claim you weren’t warned.

If only all Americans loved our country as much as Rafael Cruz, and I’m certain Rafael’s history is why:

“....suffered beatings and imprisonment for protesting the oppressive regime”[15][12] of dictator Fulgencio Batista and fought for communist revolutionary Fidel Castro in the Cuban Revolution[16][17] when he was 14 years old but “didn’t know Castro was a Communist” and a few years later became a staunch critic of Castro when “the rebel leader took control and began seizing private property and suppressing dissent.”[18][12]

The elder Cruz fled in 1957 at the age of 18, landing in Austin[15] to study at the University of Texas, knowing no English and with only $100 sewn into his underwear.[19][20] His younger sister fought in the counter-revolution and was tortured by the new regime.[17]

He remained regretful for his early support of Castro, and emphatically conveyed this remorse to his young son over the following years.[17][12] “
