"by land via Mexico"? What does that even mean?

Santos:

Cuban migrants have increasingly chosen to enter the U.S. through the country's southern border with Mexico.

Traditionally they travel by sea from Cuba and northbound to Florida. Some instead choose to go partially be sea yet to Central America and Mexico. After landing they then trek by land to the3 U.S.

The Cuban Embargo may be bad for USA, Cuba and others :

The Problem of American Foreign Policy is not Cuba but Chavez-Venezuela

The same for the Foreign Ministries of many Latin Countries

What destabilizes Latin America is not Cuba. It is Venezuela with Chavez.

Venezuela has hundreds of resources that Cuba lacks. According to a friend that studies oil, Venezuela has recently surpassed Saudi Arabia in Known Reservers.

Now Cubans know that Communism is not Paradise or Happiness. They may like or dislike their regime, but they are not bigots or fanatics ready to die or to cause trouble to the rest of the World. That time has passed.

Cuba is now a Gerontocracy, and everybody waits for Fidel and Raul to die, soon or in a few years.

Raul is also very old and Gerontocratic.

But think of the Future : Chavez building nuclear weapons, Chavez ( the Supreme Irresponsability ) building Chernobyl Nuclear plants.

I wish a beautiful Future for Cuba and Cubans ( without communism ) but I saw the most horrible movie about the disaster of Today's Russia :

Big Horror Movie about Russia.

Part 1 (of 6) Death of a Nation - Russia

I hope that Cuba after communism is not going to be a disaster like Russia today.

It would be wonderful if the USA cooperates to avoid the same disaster in Cuba that befell on Russia.

Who can win by a Human Catastrophe in Cuba ???
