I am an American of Cuban descent who until finding your site was actually undecided in this whole debate. I was torn by the rights of the sole surviving parent and my understanding of the totalitarian Cuban state. Thank you for taking me back to my objectivist roots and laying down a principled and rational approach to the issue. In an environment choking with demagoguery on both sides your clear headed approach merits a wider audience. We should not try to solve what is actually above politics, this is a moral situation.
Family is above politics.
And individual rights is above family. If Eli n's father were in America, or any other free country, he would be granted custody. I have been very concerned about the future of this little boy, Eli n Gonzalez. His mother died thinking that her son would find liberty and justice in the United States and love with the family here in Miami. But how wrong she was.
