Quote from Barth Vader:
Fair enough
Why would a mother take herself and her child in an aluminum fishing boat crammed with other people and endeavor to cross a large body of water to try and come to the US of A ?
The mother lost her life in the affore mentioned endeavor.
Could it be that she was willing to risk this hazzard for a chance at a better life for her son ?
The Clinton administration played politics with this situation [wet foot, dry foot had been the unofficial norm], and pretty much caved to Fidel. Reno sent in the BORTAC storm troopers and the rest is history.
WHY did hundreds of East Berliners lose their lives trying to cross the wall. Why do hundreds of Hispanics die in the desert trying to cross our border....same with North Koreans, Chinese, and any others who risk their lives to breathe free.........Answer this question and you will have your answer as to why it was a travesty to send Elian back to Fidel.
As far as the similarity to Mr. Obama, well since he seems unwilling or unable to provide verified documentation that complies with the "natural born citizen" clause of the constitution, then his occupying the White House is an act of benevolence by the so called protectors of the constitution, that was not afforded to Elian.
I am not saying that true justice would require the storm troopers to stick their MP5's in Mr. Obama's face, just a courteous escort outside the fence.
I have a grateful respect for the freedom in USA. But Elians father has right to his child, and the USA law respect that right and gave Elian back to his family.
Just like if a child is living in Camden NJ with thier father and grandparent and has food, education, and the home to sleep in and nurture and care. But someone tries to take that child from her family because they have the better house and better neighborhood. Is that ok to take a child from a family who love her and who she loves because someone think it is too poor compare to something else?
Maybe storm troopers was because of the rumor of gun resistance from Elians cousin , and human chains around the house?
The supreme court is saying Obama has a right to be President, so you think they lie?
