Rather than simply demonizing them, as has been done at the behest of the
WH and a willing press, perhaps the experience of nearly 20% of Cuba's
population who have risked their lives *escaping* Cuba in often rickety
craft should be given serious consideration. Many, in fact, lost their
lives in the effort or know someone who has. Perhaps those with such direct
experience would find better appreciation for the analogy.

It's people such as yourself who are willing to mindlessly regurgitate WH
propaganda without even remotely considering looking more deeply into what
fate is likely to await the child upon his return. That is, you -- and
those like you -- seem incapable of getting past the "fathers
rights" mantra fed to you by Clinton's war room and thus will not even
bother to ask what that means -- if anything -- from the perspective of
life under a tyrannical regime such as Cuba.

It is, in fact, a dark side of American history that goes as far back
Lincoln's enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act to our return of Jews
escaping Nazi Germany on the St. Louis, most of whom perished in German
death camps... and now, those on the Left would fling this child back
without even the benefit of the hearing that he is receiving , if they
could have their way.

This is all quite telling of where we are today, and how low we have sunk.
