Reply #7: Good points. But Cuban-Americans have always been allowed to go to Cuba.

The discrimination has been against the rest of us non-Cuban-Americans. We are the aggrieved party in this case, not the Cuba-Americans.

If anything Cuban-Americans have been treated much more generously than any other immigrant demographic, via the Cuban Adjustment Act.

For Cuban migrants ONLY - including Cuban immigrants who are smuggled in as well as those who have failed a US background check for a legal visa who make it here by whatever means - the US's Cuban Adjustment Act instantly allows any and all Cuban migrants who touch US shore (no matter how) instant entry, instant work visa, instant green card status, instant social security, instant access to welfare, instant access to section 8 assisted housing (with a $41,000 income exemption for Cuban expats only), instant food stamps, plus more. IOW, extra special enhanced social programs designed to entice Cuban expatriation to Miami/USA.

NO other immigrant group is granted this level of immigration perks, and not even native born Americans are granted the section 8 housing income exemption that Cuban immigrants are.

They have been treated especially well by the American people/taxpayers. Why should we then be aggrieved by being travel banned, while those who we ingratiate, because they supposedly "escaped" Cuba, be exclusive to this right to go to Cuba?

It is utter hypocrisy.
