Why you continue to focus solely on Cuban Americans is beyond me.

No Castro = no anti Castro funding.
No embargo = no anti embargo campaign contributions.

Our politicians who espouse normalization rely on the contributions to defeat it. Defeating it = no more money.

The USA needs democracy. Maybe Cuba can help.
