This is not our decision to make regardless of what prejudices one has towards Cuba and Castro. I don't know. On final thought, there are children all over the world who are starving and who have it much worse than anyone could ever believe that we do nothing about. Yet we set here and we waste all of this time and money on Elian. It just makes no sense.
Nobody gives a crap about all the children in Africa who are dying of starvation.
Nobody cares about all the other illegal Mexican and Cuban children who deported every year. But we care about Elian Gonzales. I believe it is just our society, using the boy as a pawn to strike out against Castro and Communism. We aren't doing him any favors. Deport him, along with every other immigrant.
