In reply to the discussion: After 50 years, Cubans hope to travel freely [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)28. No--your point was "So the average Cuban can come to the US" (not true)
but you can't go to Cuba (also not true).
You CAN go to Cuba, and you can go now, and you can probably go more times than the "average Cuban" will ever be able to come to the US, as the "average Cuban" doesn't have family members over here willing to send air fare willy nilly.
You're operating under old paradigms. And speaking of "old" paradigms, do you notice a correlation between the aging of a guy named Castro and the increasing normalization of relations between our two countries?

Liberalized travel for Cubans isn't a reality yet. It's still "hope." You have more freedom...

There are enough Cuban exiles in Miami with family there that they can get a trip very easily.

It's even looser, now--you can go on a photography, architecture or cooking trip, for example.

People to people is good, but you still need a licensed company that offers it.

Wow, if Cuba does this expect relations to normalize very quickly. Shots fired.
