If Elian Gonzales were to tell the American media that he wants to move to the US and stay permanently, what do you think the chances are he'd be allowed to leave Cuba?!
I’m pretty sure that there have been articles about him being a committed Communist, member of various Party youth orgs, groomed for leadership by the Castros, etc.
I’d put good money on him coming here, attacking his reactionary American family members, getting his photo ops with Jimmy Carter and Michael Moore, and using an audience with Obama to call for full normalized relations and trade.
