People Who Repressed Dissidents in Cuba Are Moving to the U.S.
August 28th, 2024Via: Miami Herald:
Former members of the Cuban regime who have been involved in repressing dissidents on the island have abused the immigration system to come to the United States amid a large exodus from the island, activists with a Miami-based human-rights group said Tuesday.
Cuban exile Tony Costa, the director of the Foundation for Human Rights in Cuba, said in a media conference that the organization has built a database of 1,015 members of the Cuban regime who have surveilled, harassed, bullied and imprisoned dissidents, government critics and peaceful demonstrators. Of those, 115 are already living in the U.S., said Rolando Cartaya, one of the organization’s researchers.
Former high-ranking officials in the Communist Party, members of the feared Cuban Interior Ministry, police officers, government attorneys and judges are among the people the organization says have recently arrived in the U.S. and have been identified on the website represorescubanos.com.
They are among the estimated 18% of Cuba’s population that has fled the island in recent years.
We live in a country where Cuban immigrants, now Cuban Americans, have colonized a large chunk of a state. They maintain and protect their Cuban culture in part by monitoring other Cubans, Cuba Cubans, who disagree with some aspects of the culture and want to change it. The Cuba Cubans want to colonize the Cuban Americans. We, the Caucasian Americans, have allowed ourselves to be pushed aside. We no longer attempt to monitor, much less to repel invaders.
What happens when the FL Cubans eventually come face to face with the MN Moslems? Will we be anywhere anymore? Caught in the crossfire, or hiding out?
