Both come from situations so bad that they risk their lives to get to US soil. The mother of elian gonzalez made what 3...4 trips from cuba to fla. to visit her b/f. If she was fleeing political persecution why did she keep going back to cuba? How many died trying to float from Cuba to Florida on rafts? That's 100 miles of open ocean on someting you cobbled together from inner tubes and plywood. Did they do it because they were living in a paradise? As for her visiting the US to see her boyfriend, you might want to reread. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eli%C3%A1n_Gonz%C3%A1lez_affair "González's mother had drowned in November 1999 while attempting to leave Cuba with her son and her boyfriend to get to the United States.[1]" If you would care to show me where she set foot in FL 3-4 times, I'd appreciate it.
