We have a complete trade embargo with Cuba, which means, in part, an American cannot procure or use any product crafted in Cuba

Because the government allows it.  The lassez faire policies of most administrations tend to let "the market" dictate prices, however the oil companies collude to set prices.\n\nNo, I do not have to move to Cuba.  I can excerise my precious vote.  If enough americans think straight\nin November we might end this nonsense.\n\nThink green, buy hybrids, conserve energy, and save the precious lives of young americans.  Oil is not worth dying for.\n\nBest wishes\n\nAsk the consumer advocate

Actually MLB wants Cuban players to play. The problem is actually government sanctions against Cuba and Cuba will not be allowed a permit to play.

well cuba is a communist country where there's certain rules that most of the people disagree that's the reason cubans seem america like an alternative to live ....they can get whatever they want and have freedom of speech ....some other people that is not cuban might have those rights in their countries as well but they have other problems such as economical problems or looking for a job.

I know it is not legal in Jamaica.  The reason is that if they were to legalize it the country would be off the favored nations list.  This would hurt their tourism which is a HUGE industry there.  My guess is that pretty much all of the other Carribean countries have the same issue.

If you're illegal, you're illegal. The law is the law...Cuban, Irish, Egyptian, Salvadoranian, etc...the law is the law.

The cubans have what is called the 'dry foot rule'.  If we catch them before they make it to land we send them back.  If they make one foot onto u.s. soil, they get amnesty because they come from a communist country and we don't send people back to communist cuba if they are seeking refuge.

It was made illegal primarily through racism, along with protection of certain special interests.  It has maintained its illegality through self-protection of the huge drug war industry, and extensive propaganda.  Read the source for the whole story.

China has factories and they manufacture cheap stuff from high tech to low tech for consumers of the world.  Cuba only makes cigars.

The trade embargo with Cuba is not successful because there are plenty of other countries that wish to trade with them. It was only the United States that had a problem with Cuba's regime change and subsequent romance with Communism. The Russians have had a healthy trade with Cuba since the early 1960s.\n\nBasically, trade embargos can only work if they are universally adhered to. This one is not. In fact, some countries around the world believe that the trade embargo with Cuba is unjust (possibly illegal) and only serves to hurt the common people of the country.

The reason the Treasury Dept. (A.K.A. the U.S. gov't.) spends all this money re the Cuban Problem(?) is quite simple. Castro and his revolution, which laid the groundwork for the betterment of a very poor populace, displaced a cruel, corrupt, vicious and malleable close friend to U.S. interests ( bananas and sugar immediately come to mind) named Batista, the Cuban dictator. Batista was also a crony of the American mobs. (a.k.a. Mafia ). This was their playground which, by extension, meant the playground for American politicians. The problem is that the U.S. gov't. does not dominate Cuba anymore and they don't like that.Doesn't is seem odd that other democratic countries have full relations with Cuba while the U.S. happily welcomes boat load after boatload of less than prime immigrants free access to the U.S. soil just to spite Cuba ; but we have to wonder if this spite has backfired over the last 45 years.

If his only crime is speaking Spanish....Why? I assume this boy is Mexican.....Why doesn't touch land and "You are in the house" apply to the Mexican also...but unfortunately this is only a privilege extended to the Cubans when in fact the Mexico government is just as criminalistic as the Cuban regime
