Cuban Americas flock to Cuba
<snip>
MIAMI — Tough new restrictions imposed by the Bush administration on travel and remittances to Cuba go into effect today, with Cuban Americans sharply divided over whom the crackdown will hurt more — Fidel Castro or their own loved ones on the island. <snip>

"This is a very humanitarian but responsible measure to speed up the transition to democracy in Cuba and protect our national interests against terrorism," said Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.). "What the president did is cut off money to an anti-American terrorist regime."

Uh huh, yeah right. What are they gonna do? Attack us with a roving band of beat up 1957 Chevy's?


This week, Cuban Americans by the hundreds jammed Miami International Airport for charter flights to Havana and other Cuban destinations before the rules took effect. Angelina Dominguez, 28, a management assistant from Sunrise, Fla., wept as she said it would probably be the last time she would see her 88-year-old grandmother.

"I'm going to enjoy, because she probably won't be alive by the time I'm allowed to go again," Dominguez said. As a special gift for the elderly woman, Dominguez carried a fluffy Ralph Lauren pillow — an unheard-of luxury on the shortage-plagued island.


But that old lady might be a terrrrist! What's really in that piller?

GOD, I can't stand that monkey ass!

2. Will this affect his vote in FL? Or was his "base" encouraging this?
