(164,122 posts)How could you have been unaware of public admissions made over the years the CIA tried many, many times, in many ways to assassinate him? One of the ones they sent to poison him even discussed it in a book well after she failed.
You are desperately uninformed, yet you make your assertions as if you actually believe you know everything about the subject. Tragic!
If the US tries to assassinate, they stay assassinated? Is that true? Not many adults believe that.
As for people trying to "flee" from Castro to the US, why have a lot of news services moved to refer to these people as "economic immigrants" over the later years?
They make the trip from Cuba. Many of them come by airplane, it's easier. Ones coming by boat are often ones who can't get visas from the US Interests Section in Havana, as they have prison records. If they make it to US dry land on their own, through water, the US Cuban Adjustment Act, designed to replace government support from Cuba with US taxpayers-financed opportunities, gives them instant legal status, no need for identification, instant work visa, instant access to social security, welfare, Food Stamps, Section 8 housing, medical treatment, and financial support for education, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.
These benefits and rewards are NEVER available to immigrants from other countries, only those being used as political pawns from Cuba.
Haitians, who often must travel 900 miles by water, even if they do arrive on dry land, as soon as they are spotted, are sent directly home, even if it means they will be murdered. Consider the multitudes of Central Americans who do flee here, (are you going to propose they are fleeing from their countries' Presidents?) are rounded up, kept in prisons, and deported, same with Mexican people.
Has it never occurred to you it might be a good idea to find out more about the subjects you attempt to discuss with people?
