I do not agree with Senator Cruz on this. The boy had to be returned to the custody of his only living parent, his father, however painful that decision was.
To the best of my knowledge the only country in the world cruel enough to take a child away from his parents for ideological reasons is Sweden, which did just that to Domenic Johansson on June 25, 2009.
It’s shocking the level of ignorance of some on this board. Are you familiar with Cuban law ? A parent does not enjoy custody of a child in Cuba in the way one does in America. Children are property of the state. Property. He was not returned to his father. He was returned to Castro, who personally saw to it the child was properly and completely indoctrinated in Marxist evil and utterly alienated from his loving relatives in Florida whose mother died getting him into their care.
