Sure, it's impossible for anyone here to fully understand what it takes to escape from these countries. But my Assyrian friend has told me about escaping from Iraq at 16 and leaving his parents and family behind. And there was a Chek partner of mine that did the same without his family, so I thnk I have some glimpse of how bad it must be to make these decisions and take such great risks.There's no doubt that we agree on one point: the incompentency and lack of guts in the Clinton administration is astounding. Even if Juan did make a plea for asylum, Clinton wouldn't stand up to Castro. The man has no principles and no morals.
Russian immigrants? Our housekeeper was a college instructor in Moscow. She isn't going back and she'll do any work she can get. It's sad to see those skills wasted, but she's far happier doing whatever she can here than the alternative there. Her parents tell her that it's gotten worse than ever, but I'm sure you know that.
