31. Your article really rings a bell, Billy Burnett. I've heard about Cubans visiting the US,
especially Florida for years and years.

I've heard so many times about anxiety visitors might want to stay, which always seemed so odd, considering the lengths to which the US goes to attract national Cubas using tools like the Cuban Adjustment Act, and a whole spectrum of inducements like Section 8 housing, food stamps, instant legal status, welfare, free medical treatment, etc., etc., NONE OF THIS AVAILABLE TO OTHER ILLEGAL IMIGRANTS.

I've even read in newspapers of Cubans visiting relatives in Florida and making short trips to other points in the U.S, like New York, etc. and I've heard many times about shopping trip visits. I've heard it's commonly known in South Florida.

Thanks for taking the time to add substance to the discussion. There is NO substance to the position which would deny this well known fact.
