Havana Says Tens Of Thousands Of Cubans Living Abroad Seek To 'Repatriate' (#1 demo "exiles")

1. So interesting! It's going to inflame the lower regions of some loud and crabby Fascist-Americans

who seek outlets for their trollery daily.

Do you remember years ago when Spain decided to allow Cubans with special lineage connected directly to Spain to move there without going through tons of red tape? No longer had they been there a few weeks than they started bitching because Spain wasn't keeping them in the style in which they were accustomed, they whined about any and everything you could dream of. They couldn't sleep, they needed more money, their living quarters weren't sufficient, they had rats, etc., etc., etc., and it really cracked a lot of people up, as it was amusing.

Funny, had forgotten all about that. Did you hear about that unexpected reaction those former Cubans had to their new home, Mike Rows? It still seems funny, even now. Apparently they imagined they would be greated as visiting royalty.

(Ann Louise Bardach, former NY Times writer who wrote an award-winning series on Luis Posada Carriles, laid out the story in one of her books in the early 2000's, describing what was already then common, the constant movement between Miami and Havana of a lot of Cubans, exiles who would return to Cuba frequently, some being called gusañeros, some called reverse balseros, some sending money to Cuban relatives to allow them to travel back and forth at will, some living in semi-exilio, travelling to Cuba for long holidays, etc.)

This is really a big step beyond that. "Repatriation." Very cool! Thank you for this new great developement.
