A HUMAN Tragedy

Cuban rafters found on remote Bahamian island after 2-week ordeal: 8 survive and 6 die.

It's unlikely that they'll be sent to the US...the Bahamians pretty much send everyone back to Cuba. The only one who will probably stay here is Raidel Martinez Chavez, who had the "fortune" of being airlifted to Marathon to have a finger amputated. Wet foot/dry foot.

Unfortunately, it's not hard to become numb to this kind of news considering the frequency with which it occurs.

However, we must not become frustrated or jaded. We must continue to press on and advocate for those in Cuba who have no voice.

We must also push for a better and more comprehensive immigration policy. This means not just Cubans, but Haitians and others fleeing oppressive or tyrranical regimes.
